If we had just signed Messi and Ronaldo some fans on here would still be underwhelmed. Too true StP....Sad to see that humility we had as a non-league club, grateful that any player wanted to take up the challenge of wearing the blue and white quarters to strive to turn us around, has evaporated. It has been replaced by the usual arrogant, toys thrown out of prams attitude that infects so many Football Clubs and their "but I want better" fan bases. Yes we should all aspire to achieve more, improve the team's quality and position...but that can take the form of small steps as well as large, and sometimes you need to take stock and regroup before you make headway again. At this stage of this season, a player has been identified that can add value to what we currently have and can address a temporary imbalance in our available team roster, let's just encourage them to be the best they can be whilst they represent our club eh?
Many fans are still living in the past. By all means use it as experience and motivation, but don't still live in it.
We are shipping goals, playing badly, losing games, real danger of a return to L2, and all the club can muster is a loan addition from a lower league who cant even get into their team.
Whilst I agree the lad should be supported, as im sure he will, it hardly inspires confidence for the rest of the season, or at least until Jan when we can look forward to not a lot again.

Martin is one of the top left backs in league two according to our Manager. Wonder who told him that?

His agent probably.
I can safely say the lad keeping him out of the Stevenage side, from what ive seen, is awful, and likes a red card.

The good thing with this loan signing is that you have nailed your colours to the mast and backed your judgement by clearly stating the lads replacement isnt good enough never the player we signed. So we will be able to see at first hand how good your judgement is for ourselves in the coming few months.

I cant say I know a lot about Joe I just know the guy keeping him out of the Stevenage side is not very good, that's down to Stevenage's judgement not mine.
Although I was disappointed this was the only loan signing ill see how he plays first.
Even without seeing him id still prefer him at LB than Tony Craig!
PS. I see Bennett is reverting to type now he has settled in?

I thought bennett spent the whole match arguing with the ref v accrington ,i thought he was our best player v portsmouth,i thought he was ok v southend compared to most of the team. Lets see how it unfolds.

What type is that? Does he have a reputation as a disruptive influence then? Genuine question.

Just that he flatters to deceive and cant shoot which is why I wasn't that impressed when we signed him. this was just what I saw when he was at Pompey and from others who have seen him.
Bluebutterfly seems to have the impression that I think I'm a good scout, so has brought this up recently due to his decent form at the end of last season.

A bit like Bodin and Taylor when they first arrived then?? Confidence can be a big thing with some players, too early to write him off yet. If he had the end product already, he wouldn't have signed for us, in the first place.

Bennet flatters to deceive? Is that what you're saying? That's what I saw and was told before he joined us. Granted he has been decent since he joined but I was waiting to see if it carried on into the new season.

I'm sure he's been way out of position this season, which is a shame 'cause the fella really has it in him to make play after play. Unlike our current midfield.
