Jolley and Gregor sign until the end of the season

Jolly was instrumental in Newport's promotion and was certainly a stand out player against us.  If he shows the same form for us this will be a great signing and if we don't get automatic promotion then the play off's just got a bit more interesting.

I don't want to be negative but lets just take a step back, it does not matter what they have done in the past it is what they are going to do for GTFC in the coming months.

I remember all the posts about Mackreth how he was a great signing, one of the best wingers in the division, tore us a new when when we played Macclesfield etc etc etc but in reality he is not much of an improvement on Colbeck.

Lets hope they will greatly improve the squad and even maybe help us make a challenge for top spot.

Christ some more Mackreth bashing again? He's currently having a really good run in the side after a slowish start. Nothing dramatically shite, the guy has the joint most assists and has chipped in with 3 goals too, Joe Colbeck scored 4 in his whole career for us.

People talk about not slagging off players because it dents confidence seem perfectly happy to do it when it suits them.

On for Jolley, he may not had done it lately but I'm hopeful there's still a player in there. My big worry is, where is this player actually going to fit in? Robertson seems a cracking signing though, great pedigree.

There is something wrong with him. He's bone idle

A bit harsh but he can drift in and out of the game, reminds me of Peter Bore its all there but sometimes it isn`t if you get my point

One improvement we needed was from corners and set pieces hopefully Robertson and Palmer should address this bring it on. Hurst now has lots of options really looking forward to the rest of the season now. We look a bigger outfit more able to do battle we will treat to take every game as a cup final, especially at home we need to dominate more.

On the plus side - January has recently been the start of a struggle for Town to make a consistent run in for promotion and we have either made no signings or we have made mistaken signings like Brodie. These two lads look as though they could make a positive impact not least by increasing the competition for places.

On the plus side - the supporters have been waiting for ages with tongues hanging out for a sign of intent from the manager and the club. This double signing goes a long way towards enthusing the fans, especially as the side is already a winning one, they could be the icing on the cake.

On the minus side - the manager has a reputation for tinkering, playing about with his formations and being too defensively minded. If he slots these signings into the current side playing a pressing and attacking game then the momentum will continue. If he messes about with Jolley it won't give him chance to show what he can do and he will be a wasted asset. Let's hope he is allowed to do for us what he did for Newport.

Matt Dannatt tweeted something about it not being the only business we're going to do. Another new player or Palmer until the end of the season?

'Led to believe that today might not be the end to #GTFC's business either. We'll see...'

Just wondered how many games you actually get to see, yes he has popped up with a couple of goals recently but his overall play in games has been poor in my opinion as was the case last Saturday.

I assume you are trying to compare the constant vile abuse john Lewis experienced last season with a one off post that actually doesn't personally abuse or really even criticise the player- just highlight how signings on paper don't always rip the league apart for whatever reason.

macreath wasn't the main point in his post. His main point was to be wary until players actually start performing to levels they have previously reached.  He could of easily used many other players as an example. It's in fact more of a dig at fans getting over excited during every transfer window thinking our latest signing is going to win the ballon d'or.

It isn't exactly the same as the repeated unjustified abuse, that verged on bullying that john Lewis got last season.

It still annoys me when I think of the treatment that john Lewis got from a certain small section of the fans. Great credit to him as a player and a person to turn that around and become one of our best players this season.
