Just the type of man required for a National League battle/title tilt .... like Bobby Cumming was back in 87/88

Agree with diehard, I think it speaks volumes about the ambition of the club and the players we try to keep. I think you’ll find most centre backs playing for the top 6 are of better quality.

Don’t doubt his commitment and he’s okay as a back up but we need better if we’re too progress.

He's had a good season relatively and with Pollock and Morais, is one of few leaders. Exposed by a shocking midfield, a goalie in crisis, and an unfamiliar play out from the back tactic. You need at least one Waterfall in a L2 squad and he has earned his extension.

I don't have a strong feeling about him either way but...

As a former defender, there was nothing worse than playing in a team that couldn't keep the ball and has the defence under constant pressure. You could be a brilliant centre half but something had to give if you spent the best part of 90 minutes under pressure.

And of course, if a striker makes a mistake you don't score a goal. If a defender makes one you go a goal down.

Hsppy with Waterfall as one of 3 or 4 legitimate options in that position. You need to be able to change a player when their form dips and we've not had that since Ohman left.

If this was done under Runaway, why was we never told about it?

Not that it matters, and i'm personally happy about it.

Would be great in non-league if that happens, and good enough for league 2 for sure

Quoted from GollyGTFC
Solid League Two centre-back. It's not his fault he's not been paired with a central defensive partner who compliments his lack of pace and is better on the ball than him.

I remember when we had 4 centre backs of which 2 were comfortable on the ball (Handyside & Futcher then Smith) and 2 who were more no-nonsense defenders (Lever & Rodger).


Better on the ball than him? I’d say Pollock is probably worse than Waterfall on the ball, Waterfall actually uses the ball quite well even if he has made mistakes. I wouldn’t say Pollock was capable on the ball either, half the time his passes hit row Z in the stand, which is why I think Hewitt would be an ideal centre half partner for either of them because he’s the only player we have that seems capable of the cross field diagonal and actually finding his man and not the back of the stand behind him.

I think we have been sussed out with Waterfall and Pollock. Other teams just have to put a ball over the top and if they have someone with Anyplace at all then those two are so slow in turning and we are in trouble
