Would be happy with someone physical and vocal like Krystian Pearce Don’t understand the enthusiasm for Pearce as think he’s a very similar player to Waterfall and IMO certainly no better and although he may give the squad more defensive depth don’t see it as an improvement which is what we need. But we all have views on players and over the years I have probably been wrong more than right with my enthusiasm for new signings.

He's also been released by Solihull recently as they didn't extend his contract. I know our current predicament isn't attractive and the team is like a bucket with holes but I would hope we would be going for someone a bit more ambitious than Pearce. Although he's only 31, Mansfield....and clearly Solihull as well...got rid of him for a reason I'm sure. Tony Gallimore nicked my Pint and my sausage roll

Pollock & Waterfall look like they’re running in treacle and when you’ve no pace in the back line, you inevitably end up sitting deeper to avoid anything going in behind you.

I feel we need another centre half but i'd love to see Hewitt make the switch, personally feel he would be our best option there by a country mile.

Pollock & Waterfall look like they’re running in treacle and when you’ve no pace in the back line, you inevitably end up sitting deeper to avoid anything going in behind you. The lack of pace will really hinder Pollock's progress. The last couple of games particularly highlighted his lack of pace and he really is very slow even over short distances. Shame for the lad, but I suspect it will mean talk of the Premier League will be a fantasy.* *Makes diary note for 18 months as he signs for... in the Premier league.
