    Totally agree. Donaldson puts his aging body on the line game after game and never shirks. For effort he gets 100%, shame his legs have gone.

    A Menston lad so I am told Bronco. If this is an early measure of Lee Turnbull's knowledge and expertise in knowing players backgrounds and what they need in their lives, then long may he stay.

    Completely agree.

    44 appearances - 9 goals - 4 assists.

    I’ve seen worse target-men pull on the famous Claret and Amber down the years - younger, too.

    Looks like a bit has been happening past few days and most of it promising news (been moving house, a big downsize, and not had wifi for a few days)

    ps still a Woking Bantam ;)

    It has always annoyed me that some fans slag Clayton for effort. For me, he's a good pro who does the best he can. Yes, we signed him past his best years and his force is declining. But never knock him for effort. He still puts himself about as much as his body can cope with, and he still reads the game well. Novak and Clarke will particularly appreciate what he does for them.

    No guarantees with new signings but hopefully will prove to be a good one :thumbup: at our level in particular you could question every single transfer (and some will ;)) but to me it looks like the clubs new structure since late last year has started to pay off, at least it looks like there are results coming from the planning. Keep it up City

    Now that's a good signing.

    Well done Bradford City.

    Think A OC may be asked to cover right back - alternatives are Hosannah (if he ever turns out for us again) or French. Personally think AOC has been our best CB over the last 2 years

    Given the past two years that's not saying a lot but I agree, armbandgate aside of course.

    :laughing: Will try to get back 'on the ball' tomorrow mate - I guess the key position we want to see a new addition is a striker so will get my ear to the ground :thumbup:

    Completely agree, he's a decent player. I also think he is the best fit RB we currently have, although its not his best position. We now have some good competition / cover at the back

    I do however worry that the rumour that Peterborough are after Staunton has legs, he's going to struggle to get game time now.
    Really hope he stays as he has a lot of promise, however if he does go there has been a marked improvement in our transfer business by getting someone like Canavan in early.
