McCall swaps suit for tracksuit

Stuart McCall feels like a proper manager at last.

That's not to suggest he hasn't been giving it 100 per cent since accepting the daunting challenge seven weeks ago of lifting City back from the doldrums.

McCall has taken to his new role with the same desire and determination he showed every time he donned the claret and amber jersey.

But as he sat there hour after hour at his desk, fielding calls from agents and checking contacts for potential transfer targets, something was missing.

That all changed the moment his troops assembled for pre-season. At last, everything clicked into place and the boss had direct control of his charges.

Suddenly he's no longer chained to the office. And for McCall, this is where his job begins for real.

"Today was the start of it," he beamed. "Obviously the weather has hampered us but we've managed to do other things.

"It's good now the lads are back. We've had a meeting with everyone and we're all heading in the same direction.

"I'm pleased to be among the players and get back training because this is what it's all about. I said all along that I'd be a much happier person when we're all out there on the pitch and that's been the case."

With Apperley Bridge temporarily out of action because of flooding, the first few days of fitness work have been held in different surroundings. After a morning session today on the artificial turf at the Goals leisure centre, the players were put through their paces with a bleep test under the watchful eye of expert Ed Baranowski.

All the time, McCall is assessing his options - and working out the areas which need strengthening.

The double capture of strikers Peter Thorne and Barry Conlon has taken the immediate heat off one area, although the gaffer will keep looking for any hidden gem that may present itself.

His training squad is currently boosted by an assortment of trialists, mainly youngsters. Some like Barnsley duo Nathan Joynes and Thomas Harban could be playing themselves into contention for a season-long loan, others will no doubt be discarded along the way to the opening League Two date with Macclesfield on August 11.

"With the lads here now, I know there is definitely enough quality and spirit having been in with them," added McCall, "and hopefully in the weeks leading up to the season there will be more people coming in.

"We've had a couple of things go against us in terms of players we were trying to sign but that happens and you just have to get on with it. I've spoken to managers at both ends of the league and they are in the same situation.

"I'm a lot more upbeat now having got a couple of players in and hopefully that will give us more momentum to attract others.

"I've already got targets that I want to bring in once we get nearer - but you don't want to be paying loan fees now!"

McCall believes four more senior players after Thorne and Conlon are needed to swell the numbers to 16 or 18 with several loanees on top just before the campaign kicks off.

He is keeping his cards close to his chest regarding the current crop of trialists, determined not to let any slip the net for other clubs before he has had a good look. And McCall is running the rule over teenage central midfielder Scott Phelan who, like Steve Schumacher before him, has been let go by Everton.

Having seen him play against Sheffield United reserves last season, the City boss has maintained an interest.

"He's more than happy to come over for a couple of weeks and we can have a look at him.

"At the moment we're getting into a little bit of football and can't really judge him on anything yet but we'll see."

Already talking like a hard-bitten manager, McCall is delighted to be acting like one.

This really is the make or break season for Colbeck, if he won't be able to contribute consistently, then I am afraid it is time to go seperate ways. From the off though I want to see Colbeck given more of a chance, more opportunities and let the future be in his hands, not to be cast aside like some of our younger players of the past few seasons under Colin Turd's regime. Bentham too should be a good assett, but Johnson could be our jewel in midfield, he was played out of position and he had now made it his. Our players have a new start under McCall, each and every player will play differently as before. Colbeck can do the job, but he isn't consistent enough, but looking at Penford and Bentham, Johnson and even Daley this time next year Colbeck will be released. Saying that though, he will get my support all season, no matter what his form is like, I will shout the lads on and maybe just maybe, this may be his best yet. Might even be worthwhile to loan him out for a few months.

We all want Colbeck to do well for City's sake, but I think Penford if fit, could be our dark horse.

Penford teh dark horse, I had to read it three times to believe that baseless comment, probably teh reason you wrote it three times. Penford is useless and we are best getting rid of him with Colbeck and Daley and start afresh with teh midfield. I will agree that Johnson is ahead of Colbeck, but teh rest need shipping out like fans as yourself.

Want me to post this three times for you, is it just too hard to get someone on here with my mentality and intelect.

Before you all jump on his back, how many times has Waterside actually been so negative of other users of this website? Yes he has his gripes, but he doesn't usually resort to name calling etc.

I think it is probably one of his army of 'haters' that actually posted the thread to get exactly the response it has.

As I said earlier, if there are any negative comments posted, just ignore them. If the comments are abusive, simply report them!

Oh dear...no question mark after a question either? Fantastic grammar there, along with the spelling of intellect....VERY VERY funny, have you noticed how the words dyslexic, illiterate & incomprehensible are difficult to spell, yet ignorant, naïve and down right hurtful aren't? Waterside, sometimes you come out with real honest facts, and other times you are a twisted, bitter person, are you schizophrenic? Oops, another long word!!!!

As for Penford, lets give him a go, we did the same with Bower after years in the reserves, look how he turned out after a decent stretch in the team. CTID

Before you all jump on his back, how many times has Waterside actually been so negative of other users of this website? Yes he has his gripes, but he doesn't usually resort to name calling etc. I think it is probably one of his army of 'haters' that actually posted the thread to get exactly the response it has. As I said earlier, if there are any negative comments posted, just ignore them. If the comments are abusive, simply report them!
Something I also thought J0539H, hence the schizophrenic comment. The poster didn't use a capital W either?? Just don't bite guys. CTID

Darryl, doesn't that reinforce my comments? I have been the victim of some of the kn0bs that pretend to be someone else.

I just feel that, as you said previously, 'Waterside, sometimes you come out with real honest facts'. The fact that other times he posts abusive comments, simply shows it is someone else.

Yes he has posted some negative comments, however, it usually ends with some suggestion on how to make it better. He never slags off others, unless he is responding to a personalised attack on him.

Just be vigilant and do not believe everything you read. You yourself noticed this happens on another post.
