I've just read your other post lyndhurst and me thinks you might have a bit of a sneaky motive for the Ashes comment. Worse than Baldrick and his cunning plan.
No need to delay the football season kick off now. The Ashes will be all over by Saturday afternoon. I was having brunch whilst listening to 5 live today and nearly choaked on my salmon. Couldn't believe what they were saying.
Now in the old days that would have been "Test Match Special"......do I hate Sky......you bet I do......
Derek Adams makes his third loan signing......20 yr old Oscar Threlkeld a Bolton defender who has played six first team games for them.....he is English by birth......giving Adams more options in defence.
Had a little look around and this one seems to be another reasonable loan singing. Thought he might have gone for a midfielder and sounds like this one is an out and out defender. Still, the rest of the squad are well ok in my book so hopefully Adams knows best. Reserve judgement as usual until I see him.
It seems that Adams was after Threlkeld during pre-season......but he picked up a thigh strain and it never happened. Recently returned to Bolton's U21 squad and Adams was back in for him straight away......definately rates him......this is why Adams held back from bringing in another player.
Right sided and can play in midfield as well as defence according to my secret source at the Western Morning News, so a dcent all-rounder. Presumably could free up Mellor to play further forward too if required.
