I understand the new striker signing is close but not over the line yet. I knew about Welsh but have no idea as to who the striker is!

Well I did want a couple of old heads to balance the young 'uns.

Not quite that old though. Journeyman coming to the end I reckon, just hope and pray he has a couple of seasons left in him, could be outstanding

Journeyman to me is a guy who goes fron club to club picking up a wage. Welsh hardly fits into that catagory

Not sure you understand what a journeyman is. We're his third club in 9 years.

Proof that the Jolley honeymoon is well and truly alive, if Hurst had given a 34 year old a two year contract having not played for the last couple of years due to injuries there’d have been a meltdown on here!


I've wasted my life in black and white, a pathetic act for a worthless cause

When I look at previous "old heads" who made a big difference to Town in the 1980s and early 90s, such as Whymark, Birtles, Futcher, Nicholl, am hoping this is the kind of experience and guile this guy will bring.


No attempt at ethical or social seduction can eradicate from my heart a deep burning hatred of the Tory party. So far as I'm concerned they're lower than vermin. Aneurin Bevan.

What is the sweet spot for an 'old head', but not too old? Let us know and we'll give Jolley a shout.  

Journeyman and older player do not go hand in hand. Huge disservice to someone who has shown great loyalty throughout his career.

Just been on the Lincoln Vital Forum. I don't normally make a habit of it, just interested in what they say about other clubs signings. There are others and not just comments about the Mariners. Anyway John Welsh is over the hill and not the answer to our woes, and apparently we're gonna be relegation fodder and are 'done as a club' which I find laughable with 140 years of history and one of the most optimistic, tactically astute managers in League 2 or that's the impression I get.  I really do think our seven fingered, carrot crunching friends are getting deluded and see the bit of recent success a platform for making them the Manchester United of Lincolnshire.

I never have had much time for them, I've worked with a few over the years and the bitterness towards Grimsby Town FC is sometimes embarrassing. Say what you want about Scunny fans but the decent ones are much more grounded and would be happy to see both clubs succeed.

I'm not sure where we'll finish but it won't be near the bottom of the table.

I would take no notice of people like Scotimp,if we signed Messi and Ronaldo he would come out with some crap that they were done players, i often look at there forum to see how there plans for world domination is going, the way they talk I think they will be building an 80k stadium and winning the champions league in 4 years, bless them ,that's what comes from mating with your sister.
