13 games in probably the best midfield in L1, not bad going.

Confirmed on our OS

Quoted from Northbank Mariner

Anyone spotting a trend here.....pacey centre back, now a pacey midfielder, think Hurst has picked up on our lack of pace, just need a decent pacey striker and there's a good spine there!.Hope the boy does well for us!..UTM..

I note on another thread that Billy Chadwick may also be back on our radar. What’s surprising about the two signings this week, all three if Chadwick signs, is that they are all very young players and not sure why but I was expecting Hurst to bring in some experienced players.

But think your point is correct that we seem to be getting in young powerful and pacey players which added to the return of Scannell, Wright and Hanson, starts to give us a very healthy mix of experience and enthusiasm with the two signed this week also have had experience playing in L1. Maybe with a better blend of players the likes of Rose & Bennett will start to show that they are not a waste of a shirt and will add the value we expected when they signed.

I always have a positive outlook on signings, normally lasts until I’ve seen them play a few games, but optimism is starting to rise again.

Giles Coke may be signing too, this will add some experience in the middle/up front too.

Typical Hurst, didn’t hear about this or his name until obviously done this morning.

Really like this one, looks like someone comfortable on the ball but also brings much needed mobility in the middle of the park. We’ve been broken through far to easy at times this season.

With him and Rollin looks like we are much more solid and mobile through the spine of the team.

Expect we may see some permanent deals towards the end of the window when clubs have to let players out.

Just watched his interview and there were a few clips of training this morning. Hanson looked like he was moving freely, with Scannell and Morais also running about in the background. We seem to be edging toward a better starting eleven.

That is a huge positive. Scannell looked a class apart in that game before he was injured. I think it’s probably fair to say if Hanson is fit for the rest of the season we will stay up, big if though, I imagine he’d be like a pig in excrement with Morais on the wing raining the crosses in.

“On ma tête son”

Everything to prove to his own club so should be an exciting addition.

Quoted from Gainsbro_Mariner

OS has said he has played in 13 games this season in all competitions.

All in all that's 13 from a possible 31 in his first season as a pro. I remember some of our first team pro's in past and some in present getting 1 or 2 games over several seasons, if that.

I suppose we can only judge when we've seen him, looks a promising young player.

7 is the number of league games, I dont recognise the football league trophy  😁
