He was playing in League One with Bradford last season so that would suggest not. |  |

Not unhappy with this.
Has played at a higher level and hopefully Hilly can get the best out of him. Couple of decent seasons at Derby and Bristol City in the championship albeit 3-4 years ago. We've certainly got players who can create chances for him.
Now for us to resign Peter Cavanagh and Joe Widdowson! [Post edited 17 Aug 2016 16:36]

He scored against us from a set piece header - surprised Hill remembers them all there are that many! | |

it says
INCOMING! Transfer news coming up shortly
No : |
Sorry to be a pedant, but I love me a bit of grammar Naziism. That phrase in no way means the transfer news will be an incoming signing.
Anyway, I've never heard of this fellow but, as ever, I trust Hill's judgement (Odelusi excepted). |  | | |

He used to be a really good snooker player. | | | |

A quick search online says that he is over six feet tall so hopefully he will have some physical presence. |  | | |

He played up front for Bradford under Parkinson, I could've told you he was over six feet tall from that alone  | |

From the other video of his goals he looks like a proper striker in possibly the Murray type mould? If he's supplied with good balls he looks like he could bag us a goal or two. Could he form a partnership by feeding off Calvin's flick ons or holding play or will Calvin now make way? As much as everyone loves Calv for his effort and commitment he's never going to score the right amount of goals we need. Seems like a good signing on paper let's hope he comes good! | | | |

I work with a couple of Bradford fans: they say he is an out-and-out striker and decent in the air. They weren't overly upset to see him leave as he was a bit-part player last season; he missed 3 months through injury, and when he came back he was largely used off the subs bench. |  | | |

He gives us the options to do both - play alongside Calvin or as a lone striker. I'd see this signing as the end of Joe Bunney. In starting him against Peterborough, Hilly was asking him a question - have you progressed? The answer was emphatic - no.
We need to offload Joe and Odelusi, and use their wages to sign a left-sided defender and/or holding midfielder. We might then just be somewhere near a competitive L1 squad. |  |

The LB position is now the most important to address but can you actually see Hill dropping McNulty? I can't. Cover at RB is next on the agenda. I don't want to see Cannon wasted at RB he has far more ability in other areas of the pitch. | | | |

No, I can't, but if we signed someone who can help protect the back four, it'd make a difference to how exposed McNulty has been. He could come good again - he had a pretty consistent season at fullback last year and I don't recall any posts suggesting he should be replaced.
On the other wing, Rafferty started with Cannon in front of him. McNulty has Hendo. If we signed another RB he could end up sitting on the bench for the next nine months. | |

Decent signing this, I think. Don't know an awful lot about him but he's moved several times for reasonably big money in the past so somebody must've rated him. That's not always a true indication of talent I know but I spoke to a Bristol City supporting mate of mine who reckons he did a good job for them when he was there, can hold the ball up, decent in the air and linked up well with Sam Baldock. Albeit this was 4-5 seasons ago but he didn't look out of place at a higher level and is still only 28, got to be more effective than Bunney. | | | |

Last season, Davies scored 5 goals in 30 appearances (incl. 1 vs Dale on 20 Feb).
Last season, Bunney scored 9 goals in 34 appearances (incl. 2 vs Bradford on 20 Feb).
Why has he 'got to be more effective than Bunney'? | | | |

Because when he's not scoring, Bunney has nothing to contribute. If you can't control the ball, have it taken away from you very easily by defenders, consistently fail to find a team-mate with a pass, you're a liability.
Davies has played at a higher level. Can you imagine a championship side even thinking about signing Bunney? Those stats you quote include long periods in the championship, and even if they didn't, the time for thinking Bunney is going anywhere has gone. I think Hilly realises that too. | |

I said it after the Peterborough game and I'll say it again, Bunney's performance was so bad I actually felt sorry for him. He was so out of his depth it was difficult to watch. I don't understand how he can't seem to become any stronger with all the training the players are put through. He should be filling out by now. | | | |
