Pollock can still improve over the next 8 years or so.  He may not get faster but his reading of the game, positioning and experience should all get better.  He is selling potential.

This.

Easy to criticise but the lad is still only young. Won’t reach his peak potentially for another 5/6 years at least. Needs to keep playing to develop and play alongside someone that compliments him. I find the Waterfall/Pollock combination too similar in style and that causes imbalance on the back line. Agree with some other comments that he needs a bit of pace alongside him.

Quoted from Tommy
There's a tough balance here between waiting patiently to get the "right" signings in, and needing players desperately because our next 4 games are against other teams down the bottom.

It'll make it very hard to stay up if we get some players in at the end of the month after potentially losing, or not winning any of, our next 4 matches.


We could sign 4/5 players tomorrow, stick them in the starting line up and get beat worse than we already have done. I appreciate what you are getting at but if we don’t get it right and sign players for the sake of it, we are doomed. Just have some patience and we’ll get there.

Re: Pollock... Josh Gowling came to watch him didn’t he? He’s Hereford manager (who are semi-pro) and does part-time scouting for West Brom.

Our best hope is two or three good loan signings.

I know I will be hammed for this but we have a very mobile CB
Hewitt
Every time he's played in that position he's been better than the CBs we have.


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.

Better on the ball and more mobile and quicker than pollock n waterfall.

Personally I’d go pollock and Hewitt.

Glad it’s a defender, you only have to look at the goals against column to see we have issues there.

Hewitt is a wanderer and often loses his concentration. He’s often failed to track his man throughout his time with us.
