    Even with our backs to the wall and seemingly no where else to go, we still managed to burrow under it!

    Yes that same Hanson who has 5 goals.

    Grimsby built a team around him

    That’s because it’s easy to jump on a bandwagon and be a sheep as everyone agrees with you and backs you up. Hanson with his experience etc was always going to be an effective league two player. However be cautious as the season is a long one

    Exactly. August has only just ended. Way too soon to write people off or hold people up as resounding successes this season.

    Can't agree mate, I like POC and think he's a decent CB but AOC has been pretty solid and has done everything this season to warrant being in the first choice CB's with Richards-Everton

    Agree about AOC. Just wondering though whether he could do a job as holding midfielder sat in front of BRE and Paudie. Cannot be any worse than Akpan, at least he would be strong and put a tackle in
    Did he not play there at Aberdeen?

    I think his style of plays endeared him to the fans quickly as well, I for one love watching him boot lumps out of people with his massive boat feet.

    Swap him for O'Connor. No brainer.

    He only came on at half time against us after they had a player sent off, but I can’t remember what he was like.

    Last season in Accy's league games ...

    Started 15 games and 2 from bench (6@ CB, 4@ LB, 3 @ RB, 4 Not specified)

    Started on bench 23 games and not used in 21 games

    Not in squad 6 games

    He doesn't appear to have been Accy's regular starting CB last season despite his height! And given the number of occasions he either started or was on the bench, injuries don't appear to have been an issue last season.

    We'll all just have to wait and see what he can do for us and where he can do it.

    He was in the squad all season, nothing to do with injuries.

    Poor post.

    Scannell (if he stays) will certainly love him, from those clips of his cross field balls!

    Fits the “Bowyer mould”. Get Pearce in from Mansfield to partner him and we won’t be bullied this year that’s for sure

    This site is full of happy clappers and people just happy to have a club to support, not really helped has it ? And if you call facts a negative then you're only deceiving yourself. It's not an awe inspiring signing is it but let's wait and see

    But you loved edin and berated anybody who had a go at him. Yet now you're berating last year's set up. You're a strange bloke

    He didn't do much in the playoff games I watched. The centre half who impressed me was monthe at Tranmere who's out of contract too I think.

    If true @Bronco@Bronco then i hope we don't just give him away cheap or for nothing because he's on good money, make Ipswich pay the going rate.
