Adam Phillips was an unused substitute in Accrington's home defeat by Ipswich. Hope the grass is greener and all that Adam and Burnley!

After the manner in which he left us, I find it difficult to care about him now. I think, he, Accrington & Burnley were all 'a bit crap'. If they'd arranged it all a week before the end of the transfer window, then fair enough, giving Derek time to arrange something else if he wanted to, but the way it went down left a nasty taste in the mouth.

Ryan Edwards has just helped Rangers win the league for the first time.

Kevin Ellison scored today in Newport's 3-1 win

Vadaine Oliver scores 2 goals today , and he scored 2 in a match earlier this week.

[al1]

Big V scores again tonight!

Maybe if JB had used Vadine properly then we'd have seen more of what he's capable of.

Also Cole has improved a hell of a lot under DA....as has Aaron.... and had the confidence to give Carlos extended game time....

For me. JB never rated Carlos. Had he still been in charge. We'd of released CMG by now

Tom Brewitt signing for Seattle Sounders

Anybody know what happened to Lamin, because if i remember rightly he used to get a bit more game time than carlos before injury

[al1]

Adam Phillips appears to be having a rough time at Accy. Several comments on their forum from last nights game including.

I’m not sure what Phillips role is in the scheme of things ?..
No tackles... misplacing of passes.. aimless running !
With this midfield we’ll win nothing !..

What on earth have they done to him? Grass isn't always greener!

Never mind we'll have him back after Burnley release him.

Hard not to feel a little schadenfreude!

It was a little bit of a risk going to League One mid-season. He was pretty much the best creative midfielder in League Two with us (numbers back this up) and had he kept it up with us, would have probably sealed a decent contract with a good League One club or maybe even a Championship club next season.

The risk of him going to Stanley in League One was that if he couldn't find his best form, he dents his reputation far more than if he'd continued strutting his stuff with us in the league below. Will be interesting to see if he's able to find any form during the rest of the season.

Completely agree. He was a shining star within a group of players who had developed an understanding. Carlos was on the same wavelength, but equally Wildig & O'Sullivan were all playing well too, so no matter who he was playing with, they helped him to look good. Now he has to very quickly form new understandings. Carlisle or Barrow next season? It would be very funny if we went up and he was in League Two.

Not that I'm bitter, but...

Phillips for us this season: Played every league game. 8 goals, 6 assists in 25 appearances.

Phillips for Accrington this season: Played most games. 1 goal, 0 assists in 12 appearances.

Following him and Tanner, maybe loan players will think twice before taking a "better" opportunity in January?

[Bristol Shrimp]

I came on here to post exactly that Tim you do wonder about making decisions like that halfway through a season sometimes. I get he understandably wanted to test himself at a higher level but he was settled in here and who knows could have possibly hit 20 goals the way he was going, his stock would have risen significantly and would potentially be looking at moving to a championship club but now surely he's done more damage than good.

To be fair, I think Tanner was upset at being recalled and didn't want to be.

He came on today as a sub in Accrington's 7-0 defeat at Posh. I don't think we are missing him as much as he is missing the Shrimps !
