    Donny fans say his legs have gone.

    Waste of money this. I can feel it in my water.

    But the fact remains he wasnt relegated to L2 and unwanted by Doncaster.

    Apples and oranges.

    I once listed teams achieving promotion from this division with old heads in central midfield. It's almost a prerequisite.

    You're right, you need pace and power as well... In defence and up front.

    But the best attribute of any team, no matter who plays there, at this level: balance.

    Don't worry, it will soon be preseason again when you can be hysterical and aggressive in your optimism again, insulting everyone who disagrees with unbridled and unrealistic expectations...

    ... Before collapsing in on yourself like a neutron star of negativity, as you do every single season.

    Amazing!! One of our best 25 game points tally - but apparently it's "all such a mess".

    Goodness know how you felt at this time during the previous five January's ;)

    I think you'll find I'm firmly in the good signing camp.

    We sit at the very back of A block in Midland Road. The hail and rain swirled round and hit me from behind! I remember that at half time the DJ played Gimme Shelter by the Rolling Stones. Very appropriate.

    A bit bizarre to be honest, when he played for us (Carlisle) all those years ago, he seemed to be a great player destined for the top. However after seeing him play for Donny against us this season, he seemed a shadow of the player he was, no doubt he'll put in a match winning performance against us now on Saturday. :confused:

    In what ways did you perceive he had declined?

    Speed/passing/ambition? What had changed since he played for you?

    Just looked washed out, disinterested and a shadow of the player he once was.

    I have deleted the first sentence of my original post, which you found ‘ludicrous’.

    If you just took a minute and actually read the three following sentences, in an objective way, you might see I am undecided/neutral about the signing.

    We are currently in League Two, the signing of Clayton is what it is. He has played a lot of games at a higher level.

    Unlike some, I do not think he is necessarily a great signing, nor do I think it is a hopeless addition.

    I will have to see the evidence.

    For me, that is a balanced and reasonable way forward.

    I am sorry if you feel it is ‘ludicrous’.

    Ahh...

    Well, let's have a gander.

    If he can't get himself interested in a game against a former club, as you say, maybe his time has passed him by...

    He's out of contract in the summer so I'm guessing he'll want to make a good impression to give himself the best chance of getting a decent deal for next season, either with us or elsewhere. Hopefully that means we'll see the best he has to offer.

    I was a fan of Caddis.

    Came in, did exactly the job we needed, then went to Swindon and got promoted.

    Has anyone mentioned that O'Brien fella that went to Notts County?
