    For the sake of this signing, we'd be better off shoving Hadi on the bench. I know back up goalkeepers vary rarely see any action but nothing about signing this lad would scream competition for Walker

    Crichlow is better than all of our CBs.

    simon parker saying he’s signed as cover for Kelly??

    he’s better on ball than all of them.

    superb signing and well done Stefan for this time putting money where his mouth was - Leigh, Lapslie and now Crichlow on permanent deals and loans for Khela and Mellon on top. We’ve done well.

    striker now would be the icing on the cake

    It was money, the reason why most footballers turn down two improved deals like Platt. His capabilities for good AND bad were irrelevant. He thought he was worth a lot more, the club and I thought he wasn’t anything other than average. Someone said Byrne was brought in to replace him, are we sure. I thought that’s what Baldwin was for?

    I agree. He was well regarded when he was at VP previously. But since then he was rarely a regular at Posh and never shone in the NL at Degenham. We can only hope that he regains his previous form here at VP and if so, we can then extend his contract.

    He wanted to leave for more money , they aren’t contradictions.

    We and the club should have listened to you from the very start.

    Him and Baldwin both being ball players could really improve our attack from these positions

    We need to see him playing again before we make that statement.
    Huntington has had a very good career. Baldwin played far more games , Shepherd also looks like he can go on.

    He maybe WAS better than all those at one time, but 18 months without playing much football might mean that's not the case anymore. Hopefully he can get back up to speed quickly. He should be able to play tomorrow in the pizza/car cup thing. Still, it's better having someone we have seen and mostly rated before rather than some 19 year old kid who can covers 3 or 4 roles.

    It's a shame Lapslie cant play in it. I must admit, i don't see it in him yet from his cameos. He might need some starts to get going properly.

    We play a different game altogether now, non of that tippy tappy MH nonsense. I hope he does well, on paper a lazy signing but two L1 clubs saw something in him , I liked him before the dogs pulled the plug to sell him.

    its literally a waste of time listening because the answers will likely bear no fruit to what's going to happen today.

    One of the most secretive managers weve had for definite when it comes to sharing info with the fans.

    The Critchlow signing doesn't surprise me. It's a tried and tested method by our scouting system who go back to someone who might have had a few good games for us in the past. Dion Pereira, Tyreik Wright and now Critchlow.

    Maybe it is slightly forced due to an injury on Saturday and we had to act quickly which makes sense. I'm not disapointed to see him arrive.

    Hilton signing sounds like its on.

    On Jordan Rhodes, sounds like from the Blackpool end it's Mansfield or Barnsley that are the offers being considered unless something has changed this morning. Oldham rumoured to have lobbed an offer his way too.

    Im.happy with this one too. Fits the criteria and a short term solution, with a chance of a longer view.

    My only concern is the Woking fan on here saw him play one match and didnt rate him. I just wish he had emailed his match report to Sharpe

    Like others, I'm not against the return of Critchlow. Seemed to have his best spell with us, so hopefully, he can be comfortable here and return to his best.

    Of course you will, but at least I have seen him which you haven't despite being so opinionated!

    Anyway all irrelevant now, he is back with the Bantams so he gets our totally support and I hope this is where he really starts to progress in his career. Welcome back Rom

    We have been stung lots by blabbing about possible signings.......... good signing hope he gets up to speed,,,,,, being loved does work Walker came back and performed (apart from injuries) Lord Lucan Don Pierare Tyriek not sure... I hope Tyriek comes good. Just my point of view as I was there ....Mellon looked very busy live on Satdy...

    Agree. He played well for us, so we can hope he gets up to speed pdq. Bad luck that we lost two defenders at the e d of the window. We now need a good striker cherry on the cake. Then we will have had a good window.

    If Critchlow has gone backwards he will be gone at the end of the season (unless the extra year is in his favour).

    Several of their forum members want Uncle Fester Adams to replace him……That club is nuts from top to bottom!
