New additions

I’ve missed much of preseason and not followed the games, can some people breakdown who we’ve signed and who’s performed well (and what positions they play)!

From the top of my head we’ve signed 2 right-backs, a left back, a centre back, a central midfielder, a winger, a couple of forwards and an old fashioned big striker.

Some of them performed well and others not so much.

I’d expect some of them to start the season in the XI and others not too.

I hope that’s useful.

Thankyou.

More incisive than most tv pundits.

There was a guy a few years ago who would offer the most in depth analysis of every player, every game.

His posts were always insightful and helpful for an exiled fan. Though he did get a bit carried away sometimes.

I’m not sure what happened to him. Probably drowned in his bullet points…

Crooks (LB) - Looks a very steady and assured type from what I've seen. A Gregor Robertson type, consistent every game.

Michee Efete (RB) - Engine like a mustang will look to get forward whenever possible and another attacking outlet, don't think we've had a full back with that much imagination to get up the pitch since Aswad Thomas. Could be a gem.

Ryan Sears (CB, RB) - Utility player who can cover a number of positions, good height and looks a very physical player. Think it was he who was at fault for goal Saturday?

David Longe-King (CB) - One of the ones I'm most excited about. Looks absolutely monstrous and will probably win just about anything in the air. Think if played next to Shaun Pearson all year he will develop leaps and bounds with positioning ect.

Shaun Pearson (CB) - Should never have been allowed to leave.

Ben Fox (CM) - Think he will turn out to be best signing of the lot, proper ball playing midfielder with absolutely bags of energy. Can see why Burton fans wanted to keep him.


Erico Sousa (LW, RW) - Another that I think will be a fan favourite. A winger that likes to get a ball and run at people, sometimes will be worth the Match day ticket price alone. Look forward to watching him play!

Joel Grant (RW, LW) - Great pedigree at a higher level and you've obviously got something about you if you've got over 20 caps for your country. If his head is in it then another gem of a signing.

Jason McAtee (AM) - Anyone who leaves Scunthorpe for Grimsby must have abit about them, looks like he will run all day and chase down balls, the sort of player who's work will go unnoticed.

Ryan Taylor (ST) - Fans everywhere he's been haven't got a bad word to say about him, only seen him for the brief cameo against Clee - hopefully his injury isn't going to keep him out for a while. Could be very very useful in this league.

There’s a new candy girl

There’s always one…

Maybe 80’s glory was shot by his own bullet points rather than drowned in his bullet points?

His analyses were very thorough and helped any discussion. People did not have to read them if they didn’t want to,
