Well, at least we saved a few quid by not paying a centre back for a month

Would be a coup at National League. Should never have let him go imo. Played 27 League Two games in Morecambes promotion run.

I would be surprised if he signed, as I would think one of the top 10 clubs in League 2 will probally go in for him. Money talks though, so you never know, we're not being run by skinflints anymore.

Wasn't he trying to leave us for at least a year? Wasn't settled was the rumours.
Or it may have been the previous adminstrations lack of any professionalism?

I always liked him as a player, but don’t we need some attacking players instead of more defenders?

I think we probably need another quality centre back and at least 1 left back.

Pearson
Longe-King
Idehen (potentially loan out)
Goundry (potentially loan out)
Waterfall (shudder)
Sears
Hendrie (not signed)

Pity Hall-Johnson signed a new deal at Wrexham, scored nearly as many as our strikers put together playing as a wing back last season

Maybe not but …….. Given the number of games in the early season, it is pretty important to have your squad more or less complete. I seem to remember this being quite a problem every year even in the Conference. So while he may not tear up any trees, he is a capable defender and it is essential we get a good start with have enough cover to do that.

He's been promoted from L2 twice. Not sure how much money we're offering, but doubt it's enough to do better than that

If 37 year old Nathan Clarke can play every week for Halifax the general standard of Conference centre back can’t be that good!

So had Adam Proudlock. Neither were good enough for League 2 by the time they came here.

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


"Falls to Arnold... Arnold! That's it! Thats it! He's sealed it! Grimsby Town are back in the football league!!! Just a minute to go and Nathan Arnold makes it 3-1! Look at the scenes behind the goal! Look at the relief! The agony is finally over!!!"

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 liked Harry; good solid defender, but you can't blame him for signing at a league club, even one that's a bit of a basket case at the moment. Good luck to him.

Don't think it was ever confirmed we were definitely after him was it?

He’s only signed for a year, long enough for him to find out they’re a basket case. Suspect his mate Luke Hendrie will follow him.
