Think this is a good signing, just wondering where it leaves Joel Grant and Sean Scannell. Also what about Bapaga who has been very good when selected, can see him gone come January……
Bapaga is a loan player, so surely it is better to have a contracted player on the books? Regardless of whether Bapaga is lower in the pecking order or not he could still be recalled by his parent club in January.

Good grief, don’t get too excited …. absolutely awful whilst on loan for The Imps a few years back, but could probably do a job in the 5th Tier.

I fairness you lot said the same about Nolan and was outstanding for us... Not every player will perform the same at every club, he's got every chance of succeeding here, maybe he's arm round the shoulder type and didn't take to 2 bullying ex PE teachers.

I wouldn’t mind those ‘bullies’ back tbh, they absolutely skool’d The Imps last Tuesday evening with Pompey …. it’s a painful watch at the moment.

Take it Appleton is sh!t then?...not having a go, but do you think league 2 is a distinct possibility and how's the attendances doing now?..be interesting to see how many have stood firm now you're going through a slump... As for JMD, we are lacking decent balls into the box so hoping this lad can work alongside Macatee and gives our forward/forwards something to work off .

I have a few Lincoln mates considering i live and work here. The ones i have spoken to felt he struggled to get going at first but towards the end he was quality and would like to have kept him. This season, i think Lincoln have tightened the purse strings a little, and unable to bring in the same caliber of loan players they had last season. From what my work mate says at the minute they are playing with a 17 yo striker but have already got new signings lined up in January.

No, I think he deserves the January window at the very least based on last season's highest positional finish for almost 40 years. Box to box we are more than decent, just up top (since Scully has been injured) we've been absolute gash ... plus the odd gaffe at the back means very few clean sheets. Attendances remarkably have kept at an average of 8,500 that's with big games v Sunderland & Sheff Wednesday still to come. Saturday v Hartlepool is VERY important with a chance to pull out a big gun in the 3rd Round of the FA Cup. Injuries to the spine (Walsh, Bridcutt & Hopper) have hit hard in terms of vital experience on the field too, plus the loan signings being poor in comparison to last season.

Hi all. Woking fan in peace.
Those of you who've checked our forum over the past week or so may have seen a 6/7 page thread lamenting the loss of JMD. Hugely exciting player, looked good for us, fully contracted, and we'd finally got him back to fitness after an expensive rehab process. Why on earth have we terminated his contract so he can join another side in our league?
As part of the regular video catchups we do with our gaffer, he was asked about the situation. It appears that JMD lied about his mental health in order to leave the club.
Jordan came to training and then to the management team in tears, saying that he'd been putting a brave face on for a while and wanted to quit football. He promised the club that nothing else was lined up - he just wasn't in a good place, and needed a change of scene. He could live off his savings in the meantime. On that basis, our manager wanted to do what was right for the player, and agreed to let him go.
36 hours later he signs for you chaps, and does [url=https://www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/p0b6zv6b]an interview[/url] saying that his agent was contacted by Paul Hurst a few weeks ago. "As soon as I could get out of the contract at Woking, the deal seemed to happen in a couple of days."
If any of you speak Geordie, here's the section of the interview where our manager talks about it:

I agree it seemed very strange to leave Woking after being a contracted player and then to sign for Grimsby.
You could say that Woking is my second team in the National League as I only live 3 miles away so feel for them.
I am sure I would be very cross and annoyed if it happens to Grimsby.

It did, when James Tilley went to Crawley as soon as his contract was terminated. Clearly something made JMD change his mind about his time at Woking. These things happen unfortunately.
