Absolutely fantastic signing, one of my favourite players from last season. Hopefully we can now have Quigley, Richards and Bowen starting and have 3 of our best players from last season playing again. Just seen Oulton's nearly back to fitness so I'm excited for what's to come.

No doubting we need a winger. How many games has he played this season. How many goals. How many assists? Is he fit and match sharp?
Answers by 5pm tomorrow please.


Last season 25 starts, 5 goals and 7 assists. A pretty good record then but he went off the boil and then sulked off.

I think he may be well rested!

He joined Soham Town Rangers but played only 2 matches with the last on the 27th September against Wroxham.

Yes that is what concerns me. He needs to hit the ground running. This feels like a desperation signing.

I think Duane Darby might be free saturday. And Burgess and if Corbys game is off then Mills and Bell.Not sure about Butterworth.

He didn't get a look in at Brackley but to be fair Shawn is not a NLN player.

He will need to regain match fitness first as I understand that he has been training to be a paramedic hence the lack of games - but glad to have him back.

Just need Westwood, Oulton and another striker & we should be OK for the play-offs.

Billy Sharp has already scored 26 league goals. I'm sure now the Blades have all but secured the title they wouldn't mind loaning him out to us until the end of the season. :joy:
