Even if we find someone better on the Right, why not sign both... Means we've got something called backup which I think is what everyone has been calling for since the moment RD took over the club!!
Yes he is limited in his ability but our success when we won League One in terms of Right-Mid wasnt all down to Danny Green.

What is it with fans wanting to bring back old players (and managers) to this club?
FA, you do realise he scored those 10 goals 6 years ago, what an earth makes you think he would be any good for us now?

Like I've said... Last season we had a squad of players where the majority none of the fans felt any connection (Jackson / Solly / Cousins being all but a handful)... We need players with experience of getting out of this Division and for me Wagstaff ticks all the boxes.
Its not like I'm calling for us to resign Bradley Pritchard or Danny Hollands from League Two clubs... Waggy is someone who is suited to League One (Championship level yes, it probably is a step too far) but thats the Division we are in!!
Fair enough we all see it differently, but personally I would much prefer us to be signing up and coming young talent such as the winger from Crawley that we have been linked with, rather than an old has been such as Waggy!

I do agree with you and see where your coming from though
I always like to see younger players coming through and being signed but we do need a good amount of experience too to deal with this League; i.e. I've always felt that 25/26-years of age is experienced age of a Footballer and when you compare our Title winning year with the players that are still here we do need some more older (British) players.
Title Winning Year Hollands ... Kermorgant ... Cort ... Russell ... Hughes ... Jackson ... Taylor ... Hayes ... Wright-Phiilips ... Euell
Current Squad Jackson ... Solly ... Henderson ... Johnson
I'm waiting excitedly for the Belgacom League "released" list to be published. That's when the action will really start hotting up! #fingerscrossedforchristophebertjens

Barker has a lot of ability. Bit concerned he's not put it all together yet.
If we are going after Manchester City reserves, there are three or four I'd have as they have a lot of really talented 18-19 year olds who I suspect are a year or two from breaking into the first team.
Wagstaff has everything a footballer needs .. except talent .. (as Tommy Docherty often said about Alex Ferguson) Perhaps Wagstaff should be appointed joint manager with John Jackson ((:>) .. couldn't make a worse fuck up than the recent incumbents

Right... Dunno mate but that bird in the middle is a right sort!!
Wagstaff released by Bristol City (not offered a new contract)!
He's a League One player who has got out of this Divison (the right way) twice now!!
He's shite!
Said it before and will say it again (and again).
Solid, hardworking, goalscoring winger who tracks back. Been part of two sides promoted out of League 1 and he's free. What's not to like?
And new assistant boss JJ knows him well. Clark will have been at the club when Waggy was here too so both coaches know him at least.
Welcome home Waggy.
Not to mention he scored 10-goals for us in the 2010/11 season...

Shame we're not in the Championship as Joao Teixeira (Liverpool) and Tom Carroll (Spurs) are both available
