I was pretty much expecting these sort of signings tbh. Still waiting on a first choice striker, centre half and probably a box to box midfielder though. Missed them saying that. Wonder if they have signed anyone else as all we’ve heard are those who have went straight in to the first team. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it was part of the half hour interview with Ian Fergus and Holt so you're probably right it could have been communicated better.It says in the signing announcement that we'll hear more about the actual development squads this week so will be interesting to see what it actually looks like. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Back Post Misses Posted July 20, 2021 Share Posted July 20, 2021 This screams we don’t have the cash to sign proven professionals so let’s pad out the squad with kids. They really must think fans are absolutely thick. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They really must think fans are absolutely thick. I think we have tried every other half baked idea as much as this is a long shot, how many folk would have thought Will Vaulks would have turned out the way he did if we didn't take a chance and at least it's not journeymen. The other thing is at least they have been seen playing (allegedly) and not like Hartleys zeroes whether they fit in or any good remains to be seen but a couple might just surprise us with being decent.

That for me is exactly what our board think of our fanbase and a big part of the reason they won't get a bolt off me until things change. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wilson has been seen playing too. It obviously means feck all. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was a golden generation too. What we have is a few young adults whose best option was apparently to sign for a League One development side. If their best option was a League One development side then that’s a worry however if they were approached to be a part of the first team then hopefully they turn out to be good. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Get him up front 6”4 irrespective of his ability on the ball he will be more effective than Wilson . 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
