Town to Sign OIlie Palmer

Harry Pell which was a bit of a pointless signing.

Quoted from Mrs Doyle

Lets hope he can score a few and become a big hero with the fans i for one am willing to give the lad a chance.

You maybe but will Hursty?

Quoted from pontoonlew

The guy could be a good player, my worry is whether or not Hurst will actually use him. He's excrement scared of bringing new players in and I swear half the time he just does it to please the fans for a few hours before reverting back to what he wants rather than what we need.

We're not threatening enough up front, instead of waiting for his old methods to work, why not try something new? It's a crying shame we're seeing nothing of this Watson, just give the guy a start and see how he does. Palmer has to start Saturday otherwise it's pointless him being here, you bring in loanees because you think they're better than what you already have. Who was the loanee central midfielder we brought in? I don't even know if he's still at the club nevermind his flipping name.  

Nicky Walker from Rotherham? We played him in a friendly against Boston and he looked great, scored a very good brace. So Boston signed him!!!!!!

Will hurst give him more than 20 mins a month on the pitch ???????????

I would guess he was sent on his way because he couldn't see why a winger should spend most of his time holding hands with his own full back as instructed. Arnold will probably be the next one to find that out.

I feel that I need to comment upon the negative comments about Hannah not becoming the player we expected when he signed for us permanently.

For me this is not a case of him simply not being good enough, not interested etc. It comes down to how the team plays. Look at the goals that he has scored for us and the common theme is that the ball has been crossed on the ground quickly, or a slide rule pass has been played into him quickly, and he has reacted quickest and scored. Essentially he is a fox in the box/ quick counter attack striker.

Now look at our style of play, which more often than not is simply a high ball up to the front man, which often comes straight back again. Now I understand that LJL is better at holding up the ball, and so will look better in this role. However, change the tactics with pacey wingers counter attacking, and wiping balls into the box on the deck and Hannah would score a hatful.

Just a thought.....

Porky

Seen him play for Woking a few times was nothing more than a bit part came on with 20 minutes to play etc. was nothing spectacular but that was a few seasons ago now.

Spot on Porky, when came on loan along with Neilson, he put a few away with assists from Neilson. Sort it out Hurst and play the players to their strengths.

That's because Neilson thinks quickly and plays the ball to him at the right time. The others are too slow and by the time they pass Hannah is offside.

Let's hope this new kid is another Ryan Bird, not a turkey. He must be decent though as Hurst said he would only sign improvements. Needs a game of three before we see what he's made of but will he get a good run at it?
