Good 1st eleven but that’s not a great bench at this level. Better than what we’ve had though which shows just how hard this league is.
It shows we’re moving in the right direction though.

It sounds like we’re far from done in this window, so by the end of the month our first 11 could look even better, and then our bench will look pretty good by then as well…🙏
 
So you enjoy reading negativity on 99% of his posts about the football club you support, to which most are completely ridiculous and delusional, because it winds up other genuine posters?
I've got him on 'ignore' (one of two). It'll give him a warm feeling to know that.
 
I kind of see BDK more of an Alonso with his energy and vision for a pass, with Cam as the Gerrard, and McDonnell as the Mascherano. For me, a midfield always works best when you have one ball-winner, one box-to-box player and a playmaker
Yes, you're absolutely right, Alonso was much more of a ballplayer. Mascherano was more fitting in as McDonnell (as I understand it) in that simile.
 
Looks a great signing, welcome Jamie! We suddenly look to have lots of depth and cover all over the field which is going to be essential if we're going to try to scrap it to stay up.

Just need to get some form together now
 
My cousin is a Mansfield Season Ticket holder and extremely positive about him. Says he will not go missing and has had a huge impact on Mansfield. Described him as a bit of a throwback who loves a tackle and will fight like a tiger

Let’s hope the step up sees the same
Sounds a bit like a younger Cam Bran, could be the next generation
 
Don’t think his passing range is good as Brannagan and BDK either, which is completely fine, not his game. Should compliment and let others play to theirs.

Lost count of how many balls he won and passes he intercepted in the middle today!
Completely agree, he's exactly what we've needed.
 
I loved the way he got stuck in today.

You can tell he has come been playing in league one, in terms of the aggressiveness he showed today, which is perfect as it's just what we need despite being a Championship side.

That isn't to say he isn't a technical player because he clearly is, but we needed some raw dogged energy in midfield and it reminded me of what Cam used to offer us in league one.
 
Been waiting to see if everyone else was as impressed as me and looks like plenty were.

Complemeted Brannagan well. Added extra energy, covered the pitch and won the ball really well on several occasions.

Also gave BDK a rest. How nice was it to have him to bring on!
 
as a dm hes not there to play pretty passes...hes there to get stuck in.....an boy he gets stuck in ....great signing ....does the job he was hired to do ....cant wait to watch him improve my god he will be a beast
