I'm not normally one to be pessimistic about a signing but sorry - this is really bad. I didn't realise how bad of a situation we're in. Craig is considered to have a lot of experience at this level and he's awful. This guy (going by his career) is worse than Craig. It's very nice that he has appearances, but if he can't get into the Stevenage team - how is it he will walk into a L1 team? I think this just shows the situation DC is having to deal with & why a lot of the criticism isn't all on him, his budget is absolutely peanuts I’m going to see him before I make such sweeping judgements. We have a left back with really good pedigree in Holmes-Dennis, we can’t really afford to have two on the books. This guy has played a good number of games at Millwall so on a loan I think he’ll be alright. He can’t be worse than playing Tony Craig there or Clarke out of position. Hopefully this will only be for a couple of months at most before Holmes-Dennis is fit again. And normally I'd be there with you - but this one has really hit me unfortunately. I'd rather have a Bola equivalent on loan personally - a young hungry player desperate to play minutes, rather than a has been who can't even get into a L2 team

Not very hopeful, was kept out of Millwall's first team by TONY CRAIG in the game where they beat us get in the playoffs!! You couldn't make it up!!! www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/39682628

Desperate times me thinks - time to get my boots back on and offer my services FOC. Signed a crock and now a player who cant get anywhere near a L2 side - this is a total water take. Persevere with Kelly ffs - if he cant get into this team I feel sorry for the lad. BTW, Wael & Co time to get rid of DC's mate he's done little or nothing to earn his corn since he's been here.

No, he didn't step up a level when he joined us. Did he not have a club we he joined us and did we buy him from somebody ?

Just a reminder to all the moaners and Wayne(s) - the easiest thing in life is to criticise. At least wait until the lad has a game

I don’t think this is as bad as people are making out it is. He has plenty of experience of playing at this level with Millwall and seems a solid stop gap with plenty of football league games under his belt until Holmes-Dennis returns. This does leave me wondering who will be leaving as DC said it will be one in and one out. If Martin comes in and does well, we can make this a permanent and he could even keep Holmes-Dennis on his toes and challenge for a first team spot in the future. A good move for all parties concerned. I'm not normally one to be pessimistic about a signing but sorry - this is really bad. I didn't realise how bad of a situation we're in. Craig is considered to have a lot of experience at this level and he's awful. This guy (going by his career) is worse than Craig. It's very nice that he has appearances, but if he can't get into the Stevenage team - how is it he will walk into a L1 team? I think this just shows the situation DC is having to deal with & why a lot of the criticism isn't all on him, his budget is absolutely peanuts Unfortunately I think you are spot on there.

Whether this lad is any good or not I feel we are having the water taken out of us as this is about as low budget as you can go. I would have stuck with Kelly and got a centre half which we clearly need more
