Can't believe some on here said he looked overweight against Barton! Looks in very decent physical shape from that photo...

Could be a good signing. Imagine he'll start as back up and challenge Pearson for the second CB slot. Jury out.

Its good to see Fordy back at the club, he was the best of a bad bunch of unfortunate kids we brought in still feel for Chris Thompson still after all these years.

I really hope he isn't just seen as a back up option and can compete with Miller/Pearson for that CB pairing. Good luck to him! UTM

Weird how things turn out...

His regular centre back pairing at Kilmarnock, [url=http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Gordon_Greer]Gordon Greer[/url] between 2003-07 who is the same age has been a regular player and Captain at Brighton for the last two years from League one to the Championship!

Useless info, but I hope Ford does well and welcome back - hope he is just as good as his old team mate! lol.

Great signing I thought he was good first time round needed a bit more experience which he should have gained by now.

Nice one S&H.

A quality addition. Got the experience now and still capable of playing at a higher level. The squad looks much stronger than last season. Just a quality midfield player to come and we will be challenging this season. UTM

True. But I wouldn't have thought it would be on the OS unless it was nailed on.

I dont think these managers believe in the words "back up". Its either first team option or we dont sign you.

established himself at prem Scottish side Kilmarnock for 6 years -quite impressive   well done to the managers for securing his services.Though given he has only penned a a 1 year deal indicates the managers are not entirely confident in him(ala Church)

Maybe that's all Ford wanted?

I would like a defensive utility player or left back plus a left winger.

If we sign a left back it would allow Hatton to be the fourth centre back.

Happy with the squad so far. Roll on August 11th!

A fit Jamie Green would cover left back and left midfield.

you maybe right which is what I thought as well but given he is in his 30s now I think possibly would have liked a bit more job security(eg moving up/ travelling to the area for a year is big ask ).Makes you realise that in this game especially at the lower level job security is poor  the predicament that a lot of our players /and others in the bsp are in.

A good central midfielder, akin to the expected quality of this close season's signings; perhaps to partner Thanoj and we're good to go.

Our squad appears incomparably stronger to last season's.

Dont forget we have Bradley Wood who can play both sides! I agree another defender is important, possibly a CB. Sorry if I have misunderstood what you mean but I thaught hatton was naturaly a RB

Did you see him going absolutely mental at their linesman after the penalty fiasco? He's a bloody nutcase, but he's our nutcase.

He's only practising for the forthcoming season. Penalties and Town don't seem to go together too well, remember Cambridge away ?

He is but I would prefer him at centre half to Bradley Wood.

I don't like Wood at left back - I feel a bit uncomfortable. Someone mentioned Jamie Green - who would be great - if he can get fit and stay fit!

Are there any decent YTs who can step in a centre half / left back if needed?
