    Tbf it's difficult to access a defensive midfielder in early pre-season due to the nature of the games. I'm willing to trust Slade on this one.
  • Bury away will sell out for sure now

    If we don't sign Lewis I'll throw my season ticket away

    Woopdy fucking doo.
  • Haha.

    Sandwich news. Comms 101.

    Sponsorship deal - good news.
    Hendo - bad news.
    Crofts - good news.

    N.B the sponsorship deal isn't good news for me, they should have no sponsors at all...

    All we need now is a three year Roger Johnson contract extension and we're sorted for the foreseeable.

    Plebs usually get thrown bread and circuses, we just get the bread.

    Think they got desperate and offered him a deal - beats having to pay money for a decent signing doesn't it!

    Is he the box to box midfielder we need?

    a Slade choice, I don't mind this along with Foley & Buxton to beef up the squad as long as we are also going to add a few first team players signing next week or two.

    Oh fuck, we signed a defensive midfielder? How fucking dull and depressing! Sack everyone!

    Yeh, and full of creativity.

    General rule of thumb.. If you have to give him a trial, there is usually a reason why you did. Underwhelming .

    510mins for Gillingham last season, not a goal. Infact he hasn't scored a goal since November 2013.
  • I liked him when he was at Norwich, whether he's anywhere near that level now I don't know. His injuries last year are a bit of a concern also... Should fit right in.

    He's a good player.

    Look forward to seeing him play at away grounds.

    Not really IMO. But, he provides cover for Diarra and Kashi, which we need. The question of course will be where he is in our pecking order. If he's behind Kashi, Diarra, JJ, and 1-2 more (ideally with a creative streak), then I think it's ok.

    Good grief, seriously underwhelmed. When will we sign an attacking, box to box midfielder? Expect Buxton next, maybe even Foley too, chances of the play offs getting ever more remote.
