    This definitely falls in the “meh” category.

    Sounds like the type of midfielder we need. We need someone to put their foot on the ball and drive us as a team upfield. Doesn’t appear to have a lot of goals. This could be a really good signing. So I have my positivity boots on today. I might put my thermals on and venture forth on Saturday. That should please @Loyalbantam@Loyalbantam ;)

    Personally I am well chuffed with this signing. Really experienced and sounds hungry, can score depending on position played, one last swansong in his career a la Gary Jones?? No ties if he becomes a shit signing

    Very happy

    I think he sits at the base of midfield.
    Smallwood will play higher up the pitch imo.
    His goals this season show we need him breaking into the box or looking to shoot from 25 yards

    Coming from a good pedigree, and compared to what we have now, could anything really be that bad?

    First of the January signings that i am bothered about. Vastly experienced and likes a tackle. If he is as influential as Jones was - another golden oldie - then this will be Hughes’ most important signing here.

    Hoping his legs haven’t gone and his appetite remains.

    Who next then ? The Edge or Bono ?

    Seriously, he has experience, likes a tackle and whilst he might not be box to box, with Smallwood he should be a good compliment. This looks like a shrewd signing to me, especially as it's short term. Exactly what we have been asking for at this level.

    The only concern is why Doncaster have shipped him out, but that could be because he's on a high wage and they need to move him on to bring in someone else who doesn't play the same game as him. Could be as simple as Donny need more width in midfield. Not unhappy with this at all.

    I think this is an opportunistic signing as opposed to planned. One which happened quickly. I'm still thinking there's chance of another player in there

    To those questioning why he is leaving Donny, we should know more than anyone that it simply just doesn't work out for certain players at certain clubs. That is football. Look at Eoin Doyle with us, for example
