Harrogate ? I won’t get excited just yet and will reserve judgement.
Knowing what competition we had to beat off might give more comfort / room for optimism I suppose.
I find comments like this mental.
A relatively young player, playing regularly and getting great reviews in the league below, is much better in my eyes than an older player, hardly playing and having to drop down a league to get game time
The bit about reserving judgement you mean or the bit about wondering what competition there was?
The reserving judgement bit. The"Harrogate?" Suggests you've already made up your mind that he won't be good enough based purely on where he plays right now. It comes across as negative straight away.
Why does it matter who else wants him? If we want him, and get him, and he does well, that's great. I couldn't give a toss if we beat Bromley, Bolton or Barcelona to the signing
Someone on twitter said that a right sided defender was our 4th biggest need. Our goal difference will tell you that is a load of crap, need all the help we can get on the back line
To be fair I read it, and my first reaction thought he was a signing from Non-League and thought he'd be one for the future, before realising that Harrogate are a League Two side now.
As it’s been glaringly obvious we’ve needed a better wingback, I wonder where he featured on our list.
Not really been linked with many, so maybe up there. Either way seems like it could be well scouted player (unless he turns out shite).
Yeah I'd like to know, truthfully I've lost all faith with them and always expect the signings to be a dud, I go off of what other fans say and then watch highlights and read ratings.
I just hope he's better than the last right back we got from league 2 in Egbo.
Plays RB this season in a back 4 so definitely not a wing-back.
This has to be one of your worst takes.
Not even close, and it's a really shit take
Dan James in England squad was the worst. Sorry SELR 🤣
It's fine.
Find it amusing that calling a player that doesn't play wing-back....not a wing-back has caused such uproar.
It really isn't rocket science: You are a wing back in a 3-5-2. You can be an attacking full back with 4 at the back. The best example was Rhoys Wiggins who was at his best when flying down that left side in a 4-4-2. Other formations are available!
The main thing if the ball is lost in transit when the wing back or attacking full back is in an advance position then a 6 or CB especially if 3 at the back covers.
As long as an attacking full back or wing back play on their Right footed or left footed side then there really is no square pegs in round holes
Was it the Wigan away match when Watson played on the left and I thought it was his best performance.
This signing would free him up to compete with Edun on the other side so we can forget Thomas in that role who never really offers an attacking threat.
Never seen him play but stats look solid, young so has good resale value and has played a lot of games this season. Can’t imagine fee will be much so probably worth a punt
If @RonnieMoore is right (don’t laugh) the fee is 300k, hardly a punt for a League One club.

Good at getting out of some rough spots

all we have to do is send their chairman a link to the will we make the playoffs thread
Perhaps they’ve delayed the manager fan fare so Jones and Scott can focus on wheeling and dealing this evening?

Swindon , Rochdale and Lincoln players if I remember correctly.
