The biggest surprise was that Holloway allowed our best ball playing defender to leave, then expected our worst ball playing defenders to try and play out like Man City
See also Hessenthaler, Vernam, Clarke, Garmston, Grandin, A Rose, Cardwell... Hess and Davis were regulars in Lge 2 sides last season making their departures particularly unforgivable. But it was all the pandemic's fault remember? We lost half our team and we struggled to replace them as Ollie could ONLY bring in 7 loanees and Mohsini, Rose, Scannell, Morais, Williams, Jackson Sisay, Gibson etc There's some irony that arguably the best signing last summer was the 1 they forgot to announce - Spokes! |

Tbf I was surprised by the signing of scannel. A pretty big name that’s played at the top level. If he could’ve stayed injury free, am sure he would’ve proved to be a good signing (although, if he’d been injury free, he wouldn’t have signed for us)

Feel like Harry would be a top signing. Forgive me if I'm wrong but he's also left footed from what I remember? He's just been part of a Morecambe team as a regular that was pretty much in the top 4 all throughout the season. I would have him back here tomorrow, that would leave us with Pearson, Longe-King, Davis and Waterfall. I think the latter will be moved on and maybe we bring one more in but if we can't Hurst will keep him as 4th choice. The standard of signings we have made at the minute seem fantastic on paper and can't wait to be back in BP.

Staggering ineptitude. I'd love to hear him explain that one. And I actually feel for Waterfall whose confidence must have been damaged after being asked to play like Baresi. Okay, he turns like a barge, but if you ask him to win his headers and clear his lines then he's as solid as they come at L2 level. Receving the ball under pressure is not his forte, yet Holloway must have known that yet played that way AND extended his contract! Absolute madness. It's why we are where we are. |

Pretty sure he’s right footed but I agree with your points |

Not sure having an attitude issue is an injury 😉 |

In most of the games he played, he played like he couldn't be arsed. |

Good luck to him. Even after dropping out of the Football League, I’d take our situation over there’s. Things don’t look too rosey down the M180. Can’t blame Davis for remaining in the Football League but with all their current in-fighting and issues with their chairman you gotta wonder how stable that club is. I can see Hendrie going there now |

I see their “recruitment team” are back to signing players we’re after.
