Matt Dean thinks its a done deal, Telegraph hinting at the same. Even Jolley implied it was very close.

Well I’ve only had a ‘source’ once before this and it was absolutely spot on. So I’ll stick my neck out again.

Literally talking to a man in the pub and said this was rumoured. Guy knows Luke so phoned him, did not get a yes from Luke more a I cannot comment. Would expect a denial if no truth in it so do expect this will happen.

Always believe what I get told in the pub.

Shrewsbury have announced his left the club, mutual agreement of contract.

That explains why it’s took ages, we have signed him on a free and haven’t paid a fee by looks of it.

Okay, so if we have signed him, who do we drop from what has been a pretty solid back 4 in the opening 2 league games?...can't see him leaving the shrews to come here if he's not been pretty much guaranteed first team football.

I suspect Ludwig is concussed but we’re just not letting on to try and keep Forest Green guessing. Yes, Pollock did well on Tuesday but he’s not the solution for a long run in the side just yet. I think (providing Waterfall isn’t concussed too) he’ll partner Davis on Saturday.


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

The wife was going away for a girly weekend.
I jokingly remarked  'I don't know whether to spend it watching porn or watching football'
'you may as well spend it watching porn' she replied
That's understanding darling what makes you say that? I asked

She said 'Well you already know how to play football'

Anyone got a sneaking suspicion that maybe Davis may move back towards Manchester now?...
Good signing and at the right age and experience for a centre half...could be a good pairing with Ludwig...

Couldn't agree more, he's been excellent, last thing I would want to see is him leave, but it came out through the closed season he wants to move back to the north west...
And, this signing will now push Pollock down the pecking order...

Pollocks 17 years old.. he’s got a hell of a lot to learn and being around Davis waterfall and Öhman day in day out will only improve him

Excellent signing and potential captain, even if he doesn’t actually wear the armband. Don’t worry about Pollock dropping down the pecking order, he’s only 17 and from what I’ve seen has potential but still has bits to learn and there’s no better players to learn from than the 3 centre halves in front of him. He’ll still get game time as well as Ludwig picks up his weekly yellow cards and Harry Davis seems to pick up the odd injury or two.

2 clean sheets from 3 games and now adding Luke Waterfall into the defensive equation tells me we should be quite water tight this season.

Think MJ has said that Davis will be here all season. Don't think he was bullsh***ing.
Pollock will see plenty of action for a 17 year old who is still developing.

There is a bit of a theme with some our signings this summer and opinions of the supporters of their last club.

Hanson was said to be past it, legs gone (even though he only uses his head   ). Looks an absolute beast so far, including some lovely link up play using his feet.

Hewitt was meant to be the worlds worst RB yet so far he did well at Morecambe and was a lot of folks MOM against Bradford.

And now Waterfall...

Hopefully he’ll prove the Shrews fans wrong. And as a Sheffield lad he’ll love being at Meggies.

Just hope he fits in with the flow of the team

Puns aside really hope we don’t go back to a 5-3-2 surely not - but MJ now has to keep Davis - Ludvig and now this new lad all happy 🤔

Ohman is nailed on to get suspensions and / or injuries the way he plays. Seems to get clattered a couple of times every game and isn’t adverse to a daft challenge. Four players fighting for two starting spots sounds perfect to me.

Waterfall Ohman Davis


In his three stints as Grimsby Town manager spanning over 10 years the club was never relegated and he also guided them to three promotions.
Only 14 managers have reached 1,000 matches in charge of a Football League team by 1998 and Buckley is one of them.

Well happy, need to keep Davis though and MJ better not go with this 3-5-2 nonsense as 4-3-3 has worked so far.

Yes I know they sing it at Man Utd but surely we gotta get a version of Jolleys at the Wheel to the tune of Waterfall by the Stone Roses going - come on guys let’s make this happen

2 players for every position so can't see him going with 3 at the back. The plan will be to use various formations throughout the season and games no doubt.

4-3-3 is versatile and if used correctly, allows us to attack teams. When under the cosh or defending a lead you can easily shore up the midfield.  With the versatility in a number of players you can easily switch to 3 at the back with a maximum of one substitution.

The only danger with 4-3-3 is that if you use the wrong players, it becomes a flat 4-5-1. With a midfield 3 working as hard as Hessenthaler, Clifton and Whitehouse you can afford to have an extra attack-minded player up there. Not saying our wide forwards shouldn't track back but their focus should be on attacking rather than "keeping us shape" which leads to an isolated front man feeding off scraps.

Tell you what just watched his interview and I’m impressed - what a sound bloke he is! Proper northern and an old school English centre half

Also nice to see the gaffer smiling in his pre FGR interview- refreshing to see

Exciting signing and you would assume he will be a guaranteed starter alongside Ohman. I just feel bad for Pollock and Davis especially as they’ve started the season well. But it’s a team game and I’m sure they’ll all get opportunities.
If we could sign an exceptional (L2) central midfielder, then I might just start getting giddy about this season.

excellent signing, Ohman I think needs a bit of a kick up the bottom, hopefully this will do it.

I don't think he will be a guaranteed starter besides Ohman. In my opinion, Davis is our  est centre back and one of our best players and theres no way he can be dropped on current form.

To play 3 at the back you need at least one of the 3 to have some pace otherwise the wide players have to keep coming back to cover and you end up with 5 at the back. We ain’t got pace so if he has sense the manager will do the simple thing and go with 4 defenders.

Davis & Waterfall for me.  Ohman is immense in the air, but a bit of a liability and a red card waiting to happen.  With Waterfall we're keeping the aerial dominance that Ohman brings.

It’ll be Davis and Waterfall purely cos I think Ohman’s concussed but they’ve not bothered to tell the authorities until we were sure of getting a replacement in!

Form and circumstances should be the deciding factor on what the pairing is (I'm in preference of the 433 or some variation of), they'll all have a part to play and no one should be guaranteed starter. Peed me off a bit Collins coming straight back in at times last Season.

Let's say Ohman is concussed and Waterfall steps in, if he and Davis play amazingly well while then Ludvig will have to wait his turn to impress. Likewise if Ludvig comes back and puts in stellar shows he stakes his right to be on the teamsheet and somebody else has to bide their time.

But they will all be utilised, perhaps Jolley would prefer a certain pairing for certain opposition but in any case over the course of a long Season they will all be called upon. Especially if we do well in the Cups and fixtures start to pile up.

It's a squad game and competition for places is healthy. Pollock will certainly still get a good amount of game time and he's proved already he can be relied upon so we don't have to panic ever and get a loanee in in that position. Heck we've even got Hendre and perhaps Hewitt if needs must.

Not much to add, other than his first twitter post as a GTFC player avoided the usual "buzzing, can't wait to get started" cliche. It simply read "Let's Go" followed by a black dot and a white dot. Perfect.

Davis Ohman Pollock and Waterfall all fighting for 2 spots, selection headache but I would rather have selection headache because of the quality of the defenders rather than a headache because none of them are good!

Jolley's at the wheel tell me how, how does it feel?
So good to have equalised, to lift up the lids of your eyes.
We'll carry on through it all, we've got Waterfall.

As someone in their late 30s I find the love for Oasis, Stone Roses etc from young kids a bit strange. To be fair you can't make a football chant out of grime very easily.

I think it’s fantastic young uns today are getting into the roses and Oasis - tbh I didn’t realise they was - although bands like The Courteeners and Blossoms draw huge crowds from mostly younger people so I guess it makes sense they like the bands we liked in our youth!
