I'm not too opposed to this, we could have signed a lot worse. 

[Otto_Man]

Did you call this ages ago Walks or have I made that up?

[Reesh]

I suggested he would be one I would look at.

 

I'm happy enough,  if fit he's a warrior, we need a header of the ball like Heneghan,  Ihiewke and McGuinness were, we don't need him trying to channel his inner Beckenbauer,  get it shelled and put us on the front foot.

Exactly, no fannying about.

I like him. Milk turns quicker but he's just what we need at the moment. 

[Andyben]

Don't need to turn if you don't let the bastards get past you...

Think we can add another goal scorer to the list, he's great attacking corners in both boxes. Pleased with this, very pleased.

You just like his Alice band 😄

He is but better. Or at least played at a better standard. Don't get me wrong I think we've done well to get in a player like him. I had my doubts about Heneghan but he did ok. They both do the basics of defending very well

He’s no Cannavaro, but should be reyt for the run in

I'm glad he isn't. As he's retired.

Still be best player in lg 1 retired or not

[Reesh]

Like how positive he seems to be.

[Owling_Wolf]

This looks a cracking signing if he's owt like he was before he got injured last time.  🤞

Is that a euphemism?

Didn't even know he was musical!

Very happy with this.  He should be an excellent player in League One unless he’s really declined in the past two years.  Lack of cover at the back is far and away the biggest worry as far as our automatic chances are concerned.  

People are going to piss and whine and pick holes in everything, but for me this season has pretty much gone to plan.
