    I expect that Hughes is primarily intended to fill in/take over at right back but he does have the good/bad luck of being a 'utility player' which I expect counts in his favour. I don't know if Evina is particularly injury prone or merely unfortunate in his timing but with Wiggins as the only specialised left back at the club it would be useful to have someone to fill in without taking JJ out of midfield.

    With only five subs now - we need some versatile players in the squad

    He will be brought in purely as a RB. Yeah, he may be called into playing LB if injuries/suspensions dictate and due to the amout of cover we have in CM, that's not really gonna happen.

    Thought wiggins played well, Set up bwp 1st and put in a superb cross for jackson to nod home - there was one or two times that he was out of posistion but made up ground to get in a tackle

    Jackos goal came from a superb cross by Hollands, Wiggins got forward well to support Jackson and as others have said that combo seems to be working well on the left, but we still need cover for both positions if Evina is out and Harriott is not yet ready.

    was impressed when I saw him albeit in one game.  Welcome the Valley.

    I note that Chris has now signed a player called Ben and a player called Hayes.  I think it is fairly clear what message he is sending out to the world.

    I thought Hamer looked good for Exeter (although I didn´t know his name) - tall & slim but well built, looked like he had  big hands & imposing in his yellow jersey. 

    Hughes -  didn´t know his name, but recognise his photo & always thought he looked decent for Leeds. I would take him as an experienced right back.

    And it takes to mere mortals to make a Ben Hayes, yeah? ;-)

    We need a centre half with pace, and a centre forward, not a veteran right back who by all accounts is not good enough for S----horpe!

    Wrong we need all 3. And to be fair, it wasnt so much that he wasn't good enough for scunny. They were a very poor team last year.

    Yeah looks like Hughes has signed aswell. 
    Getting a lot done today then. right back situation sorted out.

    Everyones guess at the first 11 for Bournemouth will be wrong then.

    Cant see him looking past playing Hamer and Hughes now.

    wonder - if like last season - he plays a blinder but then doesnt play again pretty much all season, solly that is.

    Be a shame as I think he'll be quality
