I'm sure though that we'd like another inbound or 2 for shake-up purposes Ineson left to Bradford… it’s common knowledge http://tombatley.wordpress.com/ Give it a read..

phildog Posted November 10, 2022 Share Posted November 10, 2022 I believe he did play for The Bulls, thinking back but was then seen at numerous games after that in his monogrammed Dogs gear. Maybe was a peg to fit a hole at the time. Certainly nothing was made of it by either club then or since. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing wrong at all in that if that is what elliot decided. It's not always about money. We have and have had players that have had better offers by other clubs, but stayed with us. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not impressed by kear signing player coming to end of his career thought we were past getting those type of signings but guess its our budget Just out of interest, are you happy with any of the signings? Josh Woods? The thing about Hall for me is he would have been back up at best. As good a runner as he is, he had clear weaknesses at full back when covering for Hooley. Would he have been ahead of Campbell and Morton? Maybe he chose to go to Doncaster for reasons neither you nor l nor anyone else know. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Isn't that the case for all signings? Don't they all deserve a bit of time. My opinion of woods is the same as yours, but he wasn't fortunate enough to be playing behind as good a pack as ours, so no grunt in front of him. He also didn't have much to play with in the backs, so not much behind him either. I was always impressed by Woods at most other clubs he has played at, just not Newcastle. I do feel confident though that he can thrive under our coach. As for Hall, l felt that if he had stayed, he would have improved under Lingard, but was not first team upper Championship club material when he left us. I also think going to Bradford was a backward step, and his season proved that. What impact did he have at Dewsbury on loan?

phildog Posted November 14, 2022 Share Posted November 14, 2022 EH would IMO have been vastly improved by Linners and would have drifted automatically into Hooley's hole AND have had longevity. Not that EK isn't greatly welcome. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
