Hello and welcome to the 24th edition of my weekly blog.
Before I crack on I think congratulations are in order for the first team who notched a solid 3-1 win over Leigh Genesis to hopefully spearhead our play-off push.
This week, I am noting why I miss several recently departed Guiseley players.
DAVID BROWN
As the pacey ace has left Nethermoor for fellow Yorkshire outfit FC Halifax, Guiseley are now short on strikers who can immediately change a game.
Although often used as a substitute, Brown’s quickness and feisty nature meant he’d have an effect on any match and could single-handedly change a possible defeat in to a victory or draw.
Brown was a vital part in this season’s promotion push and he will be sorely missed by both the team and the fans.
With Phil Denney having also found pastures new, Guiseley are missing clinical firepower in a now depleted squad.
ALEX CALLERY
Callery was a speedy winger who gave Guiseley lots of width and always had a fluid pass about him.
He has also chipped in with the odd goal as well as playing in a supportive role to the attack.
His unfortunate absence through injury for part of the season did see him fall out of favour but he was missed during that period.
Many Nethermoor fans have argued that if there’s one thing their team are short of it’s wingers and with Mark Whitehouse having also left, Guiseley are struggling even more in that department.
PHIL DENNEY
As is the case with Brown, if Guiseley suffer an injury to a key striker, they could be scuppered and Denney’s departure means the team are lacking badly in front men.
Tall and possessing a decent work rate, Denney was a threat to any defence and he slotted in well alongside the likes of Muller and Hanson.
Although he’s only found the net several times this season, Denney was a danger on the pitch.
That does it for this week guys.
Next week I will preview the Prescot Cables encounter and look back at recent results.
As always I appreciate your opinion and if you have any feedback to the above please do not hesitate to give it.
