Done National League level, then broke into first team with Burton and 27 games in League One before injury sounds really promising. Another Danny Andrew style signing?   Welcome our new Fox in the box.

Team spirit and good attitude - all promising qualities forming with the new signings.

Research and due diligence when making the player search, so perhaps no more wrong 3 year contracted players ?

Good reference from Charles Vernam to Ben Fox as well !

Sadly, the 1st background noise interference interview !

Shut that door.... but quieter !

You're not wrong. He looks like Hurst after a good night out and a course of steroids.

I noticed that and assumed it's new for this season, mentions 1878 so it must be.

Heard really good things about this lad.

In my opinion, and that of Burton supports in the family, he's probably our best signing yet.

Genuinely excited by this one.

Think of craig disley on steroids

We're paying him to play football, not to be a video star.

Just saying.

As nearly every footballer interviewed says “ erm” about 3 times every second he’s probably a genius if it’s only 1/2 per sentence.

Bet if you filmed any random person talking there’d be loads of erms and other fillers, like. You generally don’t erm like notice them.

If he bosses the midfield to be dominant against other teams, and scores a few good goals this year, he can stay mute for all I care !!

Based on today's game I think we've got a really good player on our hands. Works as hard as Harry Clifton but with more composure and better passing. That's not to knock Harry btw - he played well today and looks to be carrying over his form from the end of last season.

Really like the look of him, good vision, likes a tackle and can pass the ball.

I might be wrong but hasn't he had a couple of long-term injuries? Danny Andrew was quality but was seen as a risk at the time.

He's defintely had one bad injury not sure about two. A few of the players signed seem to fit the bill of promising young player who broke through at a higher level, got injured and then covid prevented a come back and then they were out of contract. A pretty good strategy from Hursty I think, so long as they're not serial crocks

I think any team with ambition needs to take a gamble of some description. Whether that is one or two players with pedigree but doubts over their fitness or pushing the boat out on a player or 2. If they work, you probably go up.

Being in non-league as we are, we have to take gambles. If we want quality, it probably comes with injury risks. If we want players who never get injured, they probably have limits on their ability.  

We’re unlikely to get the full package, so to speak. As we always say, if there’s nothing wrong with them, they wouldn’t be signing at this level.
