Made his debut at Derby and looked decent, but every game after that he looked like a rabbit caught in headlights.

Seems to have done really well at Gillingham last season though

Amusing clip I thought.
They're going to have the toughest centre back pairing, but also the slowest.

Agreed, assuming Boyle plays more than half their games, which I doubt he will. Anyway, another genius move from Micky Moore. When in doubt, go ex-Cheltenham.

And he appears to have grown his hair, so he's even less aerodynamic than he used to be.

Right...how many ex-Cheltenham employees, on and off the pitch, have they got now? It's getting a bit ridiculous, isn't it?

Yep, but our potential acquisition by Mike Garlick trumps anything they're doing.

OK I know I'm repeating myself, but my smugness overfloweth.

Worked best when he was bombing forward on the overlap with Jordan Thomas. There was one game where they were absolutely on fire. Only problem was we rarely played that formation. Good player when deployed as an attacking wing back.

Reece Hutchinson is reported to be leaving Sligo after a release clause has been triggered by an offer from Crewe.
If a fee is paid we may be due a share.

Signing confirmed.

Not sure whether we’d get a cut of the fee? Was there ever a clause anyway?

I have a distant memory of one being mentioned for him or Chapman. Someone else might have the answer.

Nothing about a clause here, but we did get an undisclosed fee for him

It might have been Grant Horton. A question for the press regarding Reece.

He's ended up at Lausanne which is about National league level in fairness.

Both in League 1? Strange. I guess the boy wants to be closer to home.

I hope that he does well - remember Mo Salah built his reputation at Basel so I think that it's a decent league (or at least it was a few years ago) and Lausanne are owned by Jim Radcliffe's INEOS so could be big spenders in the league.

5th out of 12 last season isn't very good though... (Edit - on the other hand, lots of room for improvement)

That's true but he'd be a massive upgrade to what we have currently...and a good test of our new medical team.😉

14 appearances for Oxford plus a handful for Wigan in 18 months

He’s only 23 and players made of glass don’t tend to get more resilient as they get older.

That‘s overstating it. All his appearances for Oxford were off the bench, except for one start in which he came off after 45 minutes. That‘s 400k for a player who hasn‘t even lasted half a game for them in 18 months.

Ruben Reid has left WSM and joined Weymouth.
Nearly 37 although I thought he was older.

Re Callum Wright... Not sure about moving home. Maybe a recent ex-Plymouth manager now at Wigan is the catalyst...?

I bet the expert who came up with the no resale line, must dread the transfer window

who was it at the club who went on record that Barry Fry told them "Alfie May has no resale value"

that statement should be painted on the wall in the directors box :roll:
