The story behind Peter Cavanaghs ban. Quite harsh in comparison to the others involved.

[JTH]

Here's a very encouraging interview from earlier this year, in the sense that he defines his role in the team as a defensive one. Essentially hat we have been asking for - a defensive minded midfielder.

"80% of my job is to give some protection to the back 4". That'll do me.

[ASMO]

Played 1st half , looked OK , tough tackler loud mouthy , just what we need .

[wayno]

Hands up who on here has ever made a mistake.

My hand is up.

Welcome to the club.

I am scared to even ask .....

What was the mistake ?

[Alty Rock God]

Anyone any idea how you pronounce his surname? I very recently found out that one of my favourite bands, who have brothers with this surname, pronounce it to rhyme with "Havana" and not like Cav-an-argh as I always assumed...

[Mrs Warbouys]

Its cavanagh like Havana

whats a mistake?



welcome to Alty

[Bath Alty]

whats a mistake?



welcome to Alty

[Hamilton]

Its cavanagh like Havana

Depends how you pronounce Havana. I pronounce it like Cavanagh!

Saw him play the first half of Rochdale v Southend on Good Friday as a right back. He was subbed at half time, which surprised me as he'd been one of the better performers in a Rochdale side who had a very bad day.

A couple of their fans who I was sitting with told me they thought he was better in front of the back four rather than actually part of it. He certainly demonstrated that early on tonight.

He'll need to get match fit, but once he does I think we've made a very shrewd signing.

[Jimmy]

With him playing 2 positions the logical thing for us to do is to play him were we need him and with dens being a very good right back cavanagh should play defensive mid it's what the team need

[MarpleAlty]

Great signing for Alty that.
Surprised he didn't get a league club, somewhere like Morecambe. You won't get many better Denise midfielders at L2 level.

A little unfortunate to have been released from here imo, certainly better than Altrincham.

Thanks for that link Joe, explains it well. I'd personally have been more annoyed if we didn't sign him for that if he was available rather than the fact we have.

Very pleased we have got him, will bring experience of a higher level to us and this club has been built on tough tackling scousers.  Can bring the younger lads on as well and seems versatile.

Welcome to the club.

Saw the game tonight, personally very impressed with both him and the side tonight.

Played very well tonight, some very good passing of the ball between all players, worked the ball very well tonight with a tidy performance and good movement all around.

For me, Griffin played well, Perry was useful up front and held the ball up well, Sean Williams was like a mad terrior all over the pitch, Cavanagh just slotted in as if we had been here for years - calm finish one on one with the keeper from Ryan after a u-turn beating of the offiside trap. The defenders appealed offisde to the linesman in front of me, and I heard him say no-way, he is on.

Substitutions made no difference to our style of play, enjoyed myself tonight and many positives for the season ahead for me!

[B. 4D]

Very impressed with his performance last night.
I think he is a very good signing.
The team played really well second half.
Can't wait for the season to start.
