Yes a Northampton fan messaged me earlier to say he was returning to the scene of the greatest and worst day of his career!

How are the errr defence doing
It's like trying to put out The Towering Inferno with a stirrup pump.

Can’t go wrong with that

Interesting to see if and when he makes his debut..he has not played since last Season..Will he be another Bench Warmer or can he get fit enough in a short time.? Will he pick up an injury in training like several others have ? At least we only have him until January which is less then 10 weeks away...OR will he prove to be another Super Quinn type and help save the Club from the dreaded Drop ...I await with bated breath and silent hope
That is a bit of a concern for me. Not his fitness, but the fact both Walsall and Stevenage havn't been impressed enough to award him a contract. Stevenage are as bad as us at the moment !oldweststander wrote:diablo wrote:adamstag wrote:Now that’s a singing, really happy with that, seasoned pro who will know how to boss things a bit more either in defence or presumably midfield/defensive midfield.

Apparently, he has been training with Walsall for 8 weeks and Stevenage too, wait and see?

He’s been brought in to give a bit of Jamie Maguire style fire and passion. He’s not been brought into score goals. He’s not a striker. You do know that ?

With Forrester and Nartey being our future, this seems like a blast from the past
He wears Amber and Blue welcome JJ

We are in a relegation scrap so having a few more experienced heads in the team should help us out. It's a shame we didn't sign a few at centre half and another as back up left back. Some fans have a go at Steve Evans but he always makes sure he has two players competing for every position so the players don't get too comfortable.

Why not? A squad of 22 players and a few youngsters isn't financially viable?
In goal we have Bishop, Shelvey and Stech
In Clough's favoured narrow diamond we've 4 right backs Perch, Hewitt, Gordon and Clarke. 4 CB Rawson Nartey, Forrester and Cooper. 2 LB McLaughlin and Burke (2 CB, a LB and RB also out on loan, I'd forgot completely and Aaron o'driscoll).
In midfield we have.... Maris, Clarke, Quinn, Lapslie, Charsley, Stirk, Ward, Law and O'Toole (with ethan Hill out on loan)
Up front we have. Hawkins, Johnson, Oates, Bowery, Sinclair, Gale (with knowles and Caine out on loan)
Up front we have 3 players for each position, midfield a touch over 2. However all are central midfielders limiting options to go 4-4-2 without losing Clough's preferred full back options. We go 4-4-2 we have 8 players in Central midfield vying for 2 spots with 2 more vying to be a makeshift winger.
That's 28 players all in, as for youngsters only Gale hasn't played a first team game (like it or not the trophy is classed as a first team game) plus Cooper who have only every played trophy games. So that's 25 players with some degree of league experience plus 3 youngsters.
It's likely I missed someone. But this is the reality we find ourselves in.
