    I stand corrected, cheers. Thought he was left sided probably cos if memory serves me right he played there against Gateshead last season.

    If he can play in a few positions across the back line it'll be a big help if injuries hit like last season but let's hope lightning doesn't strike twice

    obviously we have seen very little of him with which to 'judge' him...but sometimes there are players who just 'look right' and he is one of them.

    his stats would back this up but as with any player he is going to need a decent run in the team but he looked a confident and capable player.

    The fact he's an international and still very young says quite alot. He's back in full training but getting eased back in slowly. Hopefully we'll see him play for the U23s soon and then slowly come into the first team pictue. That would drop Flannagan down the pecking order aswell.

    I think once he's back up to speed, it'll be him and Doyle maybe fighting for one place. Even though Doyle looks a hell of a player, we have to remember that he's only 17 and will probably go through patches when his form won't be as good and he'll need to be taken out of the team for his own good. It could be a really good battle between the 2 of them plus who's to say they couldn't play together if the needs arise

    The "young lad" IS a top quality centre-back.

    Whilst Doyle looks to have all the potential, he is still a young lad and needs the guidance of a more experienced centre half alongside him.

    I’ve been out all morning but I’m surprised to have not seen any further paper or media links to Jebbison. Have I missed something?

    the only bits I’ve seen are echo saying it’s not agreed as plenty of competition, and Nixon saying it looks like it’s happening (but seems to be guessing)

    The fact he was at the game last night looks a solid pointer though don’t it?

    absolutely - that’s why I’m surprised it’s not been picked up more

    I know it's frustrating bit If the club have a list of players they want to bring in, if these are taking time to sort out , what do you route do you think the the club should go down.
    Carry on trying to get the deals done or look at a different option that they can get in now.
    The biggest problem we all have is not knowing at what stage any of the talks are at about the players we want to bring in.
    I think all we can do is trust the club to get it right, the fact they pulled out of a deal to sign a player when it was so close makes me think there is something else in the pipeline.
    Hopefully with a week to go we will look like a different squad next week
