Lee Davey goes 'on loan' to Buckley

By Tim Channon on Nov 13, 09 01:32 PM

COLWYN BAY have reached agreement with Buckley Town for them to take Lee Davey for a month in a bid to give the young striker some games.
But manager Neil Young said the move would not be permanent (unlike a similar arrangement which saw Robbie Williams decide to stay at Llangefni), and that Lee is still a big part of his plans.
"If we are to continue to be successful we need everybody in the squad to be match fit. Lee has been struggling with an injury and not been able to get any games under his belt in recent weeks and we need to do something about that. Buckley have agreed to sign him for a month and then allow us to sign him back again - although there is an agreenment for us to get him back earlier should we need him.
"It is something we may be looking to do with other players from time to time."
Lee Davey is in line to make his debut for (Nov 14) Buckley in their home game against Gresford tomorrow.
Meanwhile, Neil Young says he is very close to signing another striker, although nothing is likely to happen until Monday because of some contract issues with the player's current club that still need to be sorted out.
The Seagulls are also still waiting for international clearance to go through to allow new defensive signing Danny Grannon to be involved in the away game at Fylde on Saturday (Nov 14).
Tim Brandreth is fit again after missing the win over Ossett last weekend with a stiff back and neck, but a decision on the final line-up is likely to be left until the manager has a chance to assess the pitch and weather conditions - with a forecast of gale force winds and heavy rain already putting the game in some doubt.
The team, however, is unlikely to be far away from the one that beat Ossett last Saturday and Colwyn Bay will hope the game can go ahead and that they can further extend their unbeaten run to cash in on points dropped in the big game of the day between top four rivals Skelmersdale United and Halifax.
Neil Young watched Fylde in action in their 3-0 defeat at Halifax on Tuesday and warns: "They are decent outfit, particularly at home, and we will have our work cut out to get a result - particularly if the weather conditions are as bad as being forecast."
Fylde are without a win in their last five league games with three defeats and two draws, but have recently strengthened their defence by signing Farrell Kilbane (brother of Hull City's Kevin) from Burscough, although they have just lost long-serving defender Dougie Shaw. He captained the side to their famous victory in the FA Vase final at Wembley last year, but has now decided the time is right to move on.
