Tank_Owl2,0 Posted January 24, 2023 Share Posted January 24, 2023 (edited) I wonder if the club knew they werent getting him last week and decided to look at Hector?? Id hope they have other irons in the fire though. Tbh Mark Robins will develop the lad as much as if not more than we would Edited January 24, 2023 by Tank_Owl2,0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MAL Posted January 24, 2023 Share Posted January 24, 2023 The problems i have on mobile... The quoted text keeps being highlighted, then when i try and type the cursor shows then disappears. If i do it quickly i can get a letter on, then i can complete the word, when i then press for a space i have go through it again for the next word, and so on. That is on Samsung It used to jump down the page with spaces going waaaay down the page for ages, as Reesh knows, but it doesn't do that bit any more.

Samsung’s own browser is causing the site some issues. It’s that which was inserting those huge spaces. No other browser did it. So I suspect that’s what’s causing the quoting issue too. But, the site / platform developers are always working on things so it’ll likely be something they notice too. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"So when recruiting a player, as good as it is to come and play down at S6 there is that expectancy, which for all of us who are here, we love. “It’s a wonderful driver but certainly for some players that have put the shirt on at this club we’ve seen the pressure get the better of them. This "pressure" at Hillsborough boils my piss. This club apart from the odd spell has been fucking wank for 25 years. We've put up with some reyt dirge in that time and any player with an ounce of spark would get the full backing in the ground. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HoylandOwl Posted January 26, 2023 Share Posted January 26, 2023 Are we going to sign someone then? Of course there’s no rush with Hector, and if we are to offer him anything I’d just offer him a pay as you play or even a 6 month deal max for now. I get the feeling we’re holding out to see if Ihiekwe will be back before we pull the trigger on Hector. Other than that…. It just seems very quiet. I’m not overly concerned or owt, I just expected a little more movement. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tylluan Posted January 26, 2023 Share Posted January 26, 2023 Sam Reed is the best full back at that level and only 19. Sticking him our 21s, though, might actually be a bit of a backwards step. What's he gonna learn from our 19/20 year olds players against other 19/20 year olds when he's playing 'adult' football. Better to sign him then ship him out to National North.

KrolMong Posted January 27, 2023 Share Posted January 27, 2023 I wouldn’t touch Hector unless it’s a pay as play until the end of the season. I didn’t rate him the first time, and his lack of football will only send him backwards. Flint on the other hand is a good signing IF he stays fit. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark Posted January 27, 2023 Share Posted January 27, 2023 Flint would be an excellent signing at our level. I'd like to see us sign a forward with a bit of "mystery " or flair/pace.
