I saw him play last Saturday and thought he looked raw, good in the air but not so good with the ball on the deck. Having said that DC hasn't given contracts to too many trialists the past 3 years so he obviously thinks he is good enough so that is good enough for me...that and the fact I know f**k all!
Welcome to the Gas TB.

Really think this lad will be great asset to the squad. Left footed ball winner with a point to prove. Still hoping Sweeney will come in on loan for season which gives our coaching set up time to develop this lad as his replacement.

Really don't want to knock this signing but does he add anything more than what we already have with James Clarke, Jonny Burn or Joe Partington - seems a bit odd to me. James Clarke is a solid defender who can play at CB or RB , plus how can you compare broadbent to burn or partington when between them they haven't even played a handful of games ? Your Comment seems a bit odd to me

I heard he's been excellent in the pre-season games on GasChat therefore why are people now saying it's a "meh" signing? Get over yourselves - Sweeney wont be coming back. I can't see how you can judge a player on pre season games v WSM etc No you can't. But neither should we judge that any player is not quality because his experience is less or we don't recognise a "name." Welcome to the guy and I hope it works out. Whatever, he should be judged on what he does from now on and if DC judges he us worth a go then that should be good enough. UTG!

DC knows more than all of us put together. Stop being cretins and wish the guy a good and successful time with us ffs.

We've already got Partington, Burn and Clarke as back up CB's, I'd loved to be proved wrong but I can't see DC now re-signing Sweeney or an other CB. I'm all for signing non league players but dropping below the National League for players seems a gamble.Come on Topper, every signing is a gamble! I suspect someone costing £200,000 is an even bigger gamble. There's no guarantee with any signing. This guy has cost very little, wages won't break the bank, DC sees something in him so I think it's probably the least gamble of any of our signings. UTG!

Really don't get some of our fans at times, the bloke has been in the army so hasn't concentrated on a football career as a priority obviously, DC has had him on trial for weeks now and watched him very closely I would've thought.
Some on here bang on about we should be signing all of these players from non-league clubs and post lists and lists of them, backed up by googled stats, yet when DC does exactly that people just say meh signing!!
I for one like the look of him (haven't actually seen him play) and I'm sure DC knows what he's doing, welcome to the club.
I make that 6 new signings now and I'm pretty damned happy with all of them, if we can get another 1 or 2 in permanently and a couple of loans as well, I will be very happy with our business knowing that DC has kept some back for a squad boost in Jan as he does.

Looking at the pic on OS... looks like it was done before they left Superimposed. Yeah... not sure they would've taken scarves to Portugal though, unless Boycie is running a booster stall!?!

You like the look of him but haven't seen him play? Good one. Lol. Meh is an interjection used as an expression of indifference and is occasionally used as an adjective, meaning something unremarkable. I think having seen him play meh is fair enough. I also twice said good luck to him and hope does well...

It does say to provide competition for central defensive positions. As we have no other left sided centre back, I presume another is on the way? Hopefully. On the evidence of the Weston game and the clips online I can only see Broadbent being back up. At 25 he's still very raw. Eas you say very raw but I'm told is a bit like Sincs and prepared to do anything for a late chance at League football. Very much back up I guess but probably very cheap and rated by DC so ok by me - UTG

You like the look of him but haven't actually seen him play? Do you mean you "like the look of him" in that he is handsome or has a good physique? That must be it. DC and his coaches trawl through men's clothing catalogues and invite the best looking with good physiques down for a trial! Why didn't I think of that?
