This is Bradford city, we have fans that completely dismiss a player before the ink on his contract has dried. Give the guy a chance, what has happened at other clubs is irrelevent, its what he now does for us that matters. Its till the end of the season, it does not work on his way he goes.

Peter Thorne, Gary Jones, Matt Killgallon was 32 when he joined, we have had players join towards the end of their playing career's who have done well. We have young players join who have been utter shite, we have paid money for players who were loved elsewhere and again have been shite for us, every signing irrelevent of age is a gamble and i can assure you i am wide awake, just willing to give someone a chance and not write them off before they have kicked a ball

 

We never learn. This division is about pace fitness and physicality with players who can get wide and pass quickly. We seem to be signlng up the old age version.

 

Only time i can remember having frozen trousers at a football match. It was cold, worth it with the score though

 

Donny fans say his legs have gone.

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

 

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.

 

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

 

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?

 

We were relegated that season. Not much of a success story....

 

I wonder whether too many games in a short period of time has contributed to Clayton's injury?

Will be a big miss, but chance for Ryan East perhaps, with Smallwood dropping back deeper

 

Clayton has, on the whole, been absolutely fantastic since he signed for us. Everything about him is what we were needing in a midfielder, so will obviously be a big loss

HOWEVER with East, Osadebe and Derbyshire all champing at the bit & hopefully raring to go cease their chance, it shouldn't be as big a loss as it usually might have been

And it is worth mentioning that Grimsby have not had a midweek rest since the end of January, and have played every weekend & midweek since then, as well as away at Crawley tonight. They will have played 9 games in March alone including the FA Cup ties away against Brighton and Southampton. They must surely be feeling it by now!

 

That's a fair way to think, especially with the play offs in mind. My worry though is who anchors in midfield. Does the simple stuff and the set pieces (smallwood is awful)

 

Clayton has obviously been round the block a few times and his experience will be missed.
That said Ryan East might be lacking the above but he makes up for that with shed loads of athleticism and drive.
Hopefully he will get the nod on Saturday and turn in another descent performance.

 

As you and I know, recovery from ailments takes longer, the older you get!

 

Pass the zimmer old chap!

 

Why? Alex Gillead had been an almost ever present.

 

Its not an unreasonable opinion of him tbf. I'm not his biggest fan by any means but the habit of using assist stats to judge a players efficacy is extremely limited.

 

That would be a far too positive move, wash your mouth out.

 

Clayton is a big miss but he's been poor in recent games. East deserves this chance now and if Hughes picks someone else then he wants his head testing

 

Bizarre signing again. We need creativity! Doncaster fans saying he’s been a disgrace for them this season. Not overly impressed but he brings experience I guess.
