Let's not get carried away

He was pretty decent for us last season but like the vast majority of players this season doesn't seem interested.

good call on sutcliffe, average at best. Replacing 3 centres a challenge though with possibly limited quota spots unless these 2 new arrivals are just for this year

He did OK last season, formed a decent partnership with Swift. Poor this year although he's hardly alone in that respect.

I never thought you would become a happy clapper

I wonder if they intend to use Litten as a backup centre as that is where he seems to play for us these days.
Not saying we should, mind you, but just a thought.

I've stopped using physical size as a guide after Kane Evans who looked like a tank, was actually a reliant robin

Yeah same, hence my comment about been able to actually run his weight. Okunbor is another example. Looks to have all the physical attributes to be a great player but just doesn't use his size properly.

Feel like Cartwright could break this mould though and actually be quite good. Not based on anything granted, just got a good feeling about him.

Going off Rovers statement looks like we've not had to pay a fee for Abdull

We were never paying a fee for Abdul. Rovers are desperate to get rid

JWH not playing for free

Stewart and Cartwright will be the 39th and 40th player used this season.

In contrast in 2017 we used just 25.

Busy day with the Stewart, Cartwright and Sutcliffe news from the HDM and Abdull now officially confirmed by the club. Surprised we are bringing in a full back so are we presuming Walker is on his way out? Don't know much about Stewart and Cartwright and have spoken before about Abdull's return. From the HDM article it sounds like our new boss is in daily contact with the club which pleases me.

Not bothered about losing Sutcliffe. Played pretty well last season but has struggled this year (as have others). Definitely need more recruitment in the centre spots though.
