Quoted from aussiej
A player who played for Scunthorpe United  in their relegation season 2021-22 out of the Football League is all we need to help us ward off another relegation threat out of the Football.League. When are people going to wake up to our needs in the Football.League?  


Wasn't that the team that were playing 16 year olds all over the place and a 15 year old in goals, losing  5, 6 ,7's and even 8 on the last day of the season ?

It was a basket case and hardly chance to give a fair judgement on individual loan players .

He sounds a good player from Hull regulars so that will do for  me we know by now loans are hit and miss we just need him to be one of the good one's .

Quoted from LocalLadGTFC


We was told Jon Nolan was crap, we was told John Mcatee was crap, we was told Craig Disley was past it. Look at the countless number of players that have left here we thought were crap and gone on to be good players elsewhere. Football is very opinion based and let’s not write him off before he’s even kicked a ball. Hull fans say he’s a very good player so i’m optimistic.


I don't usually comment on players or managers until I have seen what they can do but I remember seeing Jon Nolan playing for Stockport against us and he ran the game so I was really pleased when he signed for us.

Can I just raise the bar a bit on McAtee, Nolan, even Disley?  All great examples of why not to write players off too soon, but here's two that have literally paved the path for Wood to follow across the Humber Bridge.

Conor Townsend. Signed for Town on loan aged 18 with no first team experience at all.  At every single point in the 13 seasons since he was first here, I would have had him back in a heartbeat.


Andy Smith, first signed for Town on aged 20 with experiencing consisting of 4 games in the Checkatrade Trophy, a single FA Cup game and a sub appearance in the League Cup.  He turned out pretty ok too.

He was on loan to Scunthorpe from.Hull...  
If you believe inexperienced players like Wood would be of any benefit to a struggling 2nd division club then you are in clould cuckoo land.and it is thinking like that what has got us into this mess in the first place.


I believe you might be the right peg of a certain Clive Mendonca. Occasionally seen on Twitter spouting "cloud cuckoo land" as their phrase of choice.

I'm not going to slate the signing, that would be unfair. Ultimately, Artell and his signings will be judged on how the team performs going forward. All I will say is that we can't allow ourselves to get dragged into the relegation scrap under any circumstances.

Think it’s the wisest approach as players can be good for one club and crap for another and visa versa. Best time to judge is once they’ve played five or six games and let’s face it a number of our signings looked very good in the first few weeks of the season now people are panicking that the same group will get us relegated.
