    Be gentle with him.
    He turns 19 in March.
    It seems his preferred position is CB.

    If he’s good enough he’s old enough, I think he’ll be good for us

    Hope you’re not giving him one of your names Rene (i.e. ‘Folly’)

    Hopefully he’s better than James Dornelly who’s had a couple of horrendous games in L1

    No, no names for him. He’s a young lad who needs looking after. Peterborough have a good academy and hopefully he does well with us and we further his learning & development.

    Can’t say I’m too impressed with any of today’s business TBH, the players coming in lack experience and Brogan going the other way on loan, well I don’t think he’s had a fair crack at it here yet IMO. Fishburn to Gainsborough is sensible because it gives him game time and that’s what he needs.

    It’s pretty clear from this that money is tight and we’re having to shuffle the deck and still balance the books.Years of mismanagement won’t be undone in just one year.Butler out!

    Wheres your proof money is still tight did we not pay a fee for Beck.

    Though if they sack Butler that would free some more money up, whoops I forgot some silly bugger gave him an extended contract that’d need paying.

    I’d rather we’d kept Fishburn instead of Beck.

    Brogan going out is a bit strange, always been impressed with him when I’ve seen him.

    Mainly because we’re told it is tight by the club .The deck shuffling makes it clear to me .If money is tight and we tried to solve a problem by dipping into funds for Beck that would make it tighter now surely? There’s no bottomless pit .Take a sliced out of a cake and there’s less cake left.

    Maybe get the new catering manager to bake a bigger cake, as if we haven’t got the biggest one already.

    64 reading between the lines. Butler said there’s another two coming in. One sounds like he’s a trialist who’s impressed.

    Pleased to have some cover for Barrows finally, not sure the winger signing makes much sense but as always, wish him luck.

    Our recruitment policy as a whole has been truly terrible for a good few years, do believe it’s a must we fill the head of recruitment position as even under the new ownership things seemingly have not improved.

    2 summer signings outgoing on loan to a Lower division illustrates the point.

    Butler is yet to sign a player that has improved the team, hopefully these two new fellas are better than the rest of his captures.

    My worry is they’re both lacking experience in senior football.

    The Fadera winger chap went on loan to Farsley in December and didn’t play a single minute. Injured or crap?

    Let’s hope they are a significant improvement on what has been brought in so far by AB.

    Seems like we’re back to bin dipping again after blowing the last of the budget on Beck.

    Probably too much expectation on Brogan from the start, with some dreamers labelling him as a replacement for Butterfield, BUT he did show flashes of quality and was one of the more creative of the summer signings so no surprise that he doesn’t fit into Butlers hoof and hope setups.

    The recruitment this season is the worst I can recall.

    3 strikers signed, one loaned out (twice) and the other 2 yet to register a single goal between them – unbelievable.

    3 midfielders, one made of glass and the other two have failed to get regular starts and subsequently one shipped out on loan.

    A defender who, for the promise he showed in the first fistful of games, has made some howlers that would embarrass a pub player on a Sunday morning kick about and now can’t make the team.

    Now we’re coming to the crunch point of the season where a strong character with some experience of what it takes to get out of this league wouldn’t go amiss, so we bring in two 18 year olds who’ve not registered a single senior start between them.

    A recruitment specialist has to be a priority, but better still would be a decent manager who has an eye for a player and can do his own recruiting.

    You would think in the modern game you could hire a scout/statto/player recruitment type on a part time basis.

    Now I know Iron414 is all for a bit of negativity, but his post above is spot on. Recruitment this season has been atrocious!

    Yeah, I thought they made a good start yesterday. Which is surprising as numerous supporters crow about Butler not making one good signing.
