Unless Bonham fractures his tibia, Smith is placed on compassionate leave, Slocombe comes down with Norovirus and Alexis Andre is loaned out to the Bristol and district league (division 3).

FIFA scrapped it a few years back. There will be no more loan signings this season. Hopefully there are a few left wingers out of favour with their current club and whose contracts expire at the end of the season - they can negotiate a termination of contract and become a free agent allowing us to take them on? bit of a long shot but our only hope now! No can do. You can only sign free agents who were released before January 31st.

Manager Graham Coughlan said, "Jonson is a player that I have worked with before and someone who I believe is a top player at this level. Ha. Could you explain a bit more?
It strikes me that JCH's career has stalled a little since Rotherham, but GC's comment made me think he feels he can get the best out of him. He's definitely got pace and power and by all accounts will put in the effort.
I'd see him as someone with good potential if handled right.

Pretty sure we signed them on the 1st Feb so they were most likely released on the 31st Jan, otherwise any club could sign a player after the windows closed by just getting their present club to release them.

Yes I can explain a bit more. A "top player at this level" doesn't score 17 goals and get a few assists from 111 games and have a questionable attitude. I hope that helps.

I’m pleased with this signing. First saw him playing for Coventry youths against us and he was head and shoulders above the other players on the pitch. Have followed his career since and I believe that he’s a bit of a “rough diamond” who can mature into a very good player. Does a lot of running , gives 100% and is very strong. Just the sort of player we need to lead the line, bringing other player into play. He will be 25 in July, had loads of clubs and failed to score regularly at any of them. If this is the guy to keep us up then god help us. Cov fans glad to see the back of him. Hardly inspiring. Nice to another positive post from you again

Lets hope we can get a loan winger in The window shut last night and there is no longer an emergency window after FIFA scrapped it in 16/17.[/qupote] Sheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeet I really don't want to see Sercombe on the wing. Will have to be THD and Kelly at LB. At least we had some success with that in GC's first few games. Matthews hasn't looked up to it of late but its hard to make an impact from the bench. I think he's got some talent and won Eastleigh's player of the season last year. Maybe give him a go in the cup semi?

Good signing I think,but we’ve got nobody on the left wing to provide the ammunition still.Would not be surprised if we play JCH himself in that position. Maybe he thinks Matthews could do a better job than Bennett.... not that difficult in this case

Welcome to the club JCH really hope you can help keep us in the league and look forward to seeing you play.
However, we didn’t sign a left winger which now makes us weaker. We have blatantly left everything to the last minute and got a chap that hasn’t ( to me ) got the credentials and goals to help keep us in this division. In my opinion we are as good as down , everyone else around us seemed to have no problem in getting in their primary targets , so I will not buy into any of the excuses , we are and have been totally incompetent in this transfer window and because of this I feel we will go down. On the plus side we managed to get rid of Payne who came across as a right arsehole , and the new midfielder seems to have a great attitude. I will continue to fully support the boys but I am seriously worried about our long term future with the current bod

Anyone seen anywhere any rumours of what the fee might’ve been? I haven’t seen any figures at all, not even an estimate.

I will continue to fully support the boys but I am seriously worried about our long term future with the current bod I'm with you on most of that and almost always agree with your posts, however to be fair it is a pretty big assumption that most clubs around us got their "primary targets" isn't it? Sure one or two may have, but I'd be surprised if most others managed to recruit their number one targets.

I think him and Nichols could work nicely.
