    4 goals conceded in 10 games with Stubbs & Platt I believe.

    You can’t say that!!!! It’s just so 1990’s.

    I mean it never worked for Man U with Giggs / Kanchelskis on the wings with Yorke / Cole in the middle did it? They only won the treble and the PL title year after year.

    No, Bradford City have to re-invent the wheel and bore their huge fanbase to tears in the process.

    As the poster said, imagine him receiving death threats from our d1ckheads, after going through something so sad as this.

    I suppose if someone hears a rumour that's a fact....whether the rumour is correct is another thing entirely. They're normally bollocks in the end, that's the "fun" in rumours and tbh it's something that rumour threads are all about really. It'd be quiet on here without them over the summer, so, for me, keep em coming

    Getting great reviews from Swindon fans. Seems they hoped he'd come back on loan. Few said he's quick and great in the air. Left footed CB too.

    Went to Plymouth to cover as they had loads of defender injuries at one point in Jan, when everyone was fit again by February they went back to the partnership they knew.

    Inconsistent? He's only been a pro for 3 seasons. Spent the first in Hudds U23s, second in the U23s with a handful of games in the championship.

    Last season was his first "proper" season as a pro, only missing 3 matchday squads at his time at Swindon, called their best defender during his spell. Then Plymouth just needed cover until their usual lads came back, would say that ones is Huddersfields fault knowing the lad was pulled from playing weekly to being a backup. Much like theybdid with Daly, pulling him from Hartlepool.

    He had an injury going into the game against us last season, went off at HT after a bad game. Tried playing again the week after against Oldham and again went off at HT injured then missed the next two games healing. When actually playing, he's been far from inconsistent.

    You lot need to wake up. He is getting very good reviews from Swindon who were a top end good footballing side. He is reportedly quick and good in the air. what more do you want.

    I can see why people might see this as a strange signing mainly because most were expecting Odusina to sign. The reviews from Swindon fans are positive its difficult to form a judgement after one game we've all seen the majority of our team have stinkers in one game or another. Let's hope he really kicks on with us be refreshing to see a bit of pace at the back!

    Why just give him a chance. FFS Mark Hughes, seasoned International footballer and International manager has signed him not stephan rupp.

    Rahic gas gone. Get over it.

    People on here like to rave about Mark Beevers even though in his most notable game against us, he got skinned by James Hanson. Based on that game, I wouldn’t touch him with a 10 foot pole. But people want to comment on the validity of a young centre back who had one bad game against us, 8 months ago??? Get a Grip

    I've only read one comment about him by a Plymouth fan and it was on their forum. Something about being 'weak as Carling'.

    I'm actually getting NKP vibes from all the comments.

    Swindon fans seem to really rate him very highly. I remember similar comments about the ability and style of NKP. 'Rolls Royce of League One defenders', wasn't it? Let's hope the Swindon fans are right and he's top quality, then we'll all be very happy indeed!

    Wasn't NKP close to getting player of the season, during the McCall play-off one?

    Let's remember than NKP played 29 times for Morecambe in their promotion winning season - most of those during their impressive December onwards form

    Or are we only remembering his subsequent dodgy seasons with us - because it suits the point to be proven?

    Crichlow could indeed be like NKP and so in that case just needs careful management to get the best of him - which I'd expect a good manager to do anyway. I'll take his first season been as good as NKP's first one with us!!

    And if he is as good as NKP was I will be very happy.

    What? I'm sure you'd heard of Luke O'brien. Just to remind you - little blonde guy whose legs gave the impression he was running faster than he really was; came up through the ranks and played LB for the 1st team until he got found out; left us in the lurch to play for Exeter. Brother plays for 'Udders with funny shaped balls. That Luke O'Brien! ;)

    I would have him in a heartbeat……He’s got his faults for sure, but not as many as other L1/2 defenders?

    Couldn't agree more Kevin 1954. Rom is a star in the making and I hope we can keep hold of him as long as possible. He clearly loves being here, his team-mates, the fans. Yes he makes mistakes but he's young and still learning - but what he already has in terms of attributes is impressive.

    Alot of credit has to go to the new system at City. Any other L2 - and alot of L1 - teams would rip your arm off for any one of Rom, Banksie and Tyriek. Our lads managed to get all three.
