Same height as Lockyer 1.8m Exactly. We need a commanding centre back not a sodding stumpy one. Coventry fans said he wins most things in the air. JCH didn't get a sniff at Coventry web we played them. You didn't realise someone at 6ft 1, might win more headers than someone who is 6ft 4. Depends on how high they can jump, thier positioning, the timing of the jump etc. Why not wait until your see him play.

Coventry City are essentially our development squad nowadays.

Height is irrelevant. For example, Broadbent was weak in the air but was a man mountain. What we need is a very good centre half to replace the one we've lost. Hopefully Tom Davies is that man. Weak in the air? Thought all he lacked was experience, which was hardly surprising. I agree he lacked experience but to be fair he wasn't a patch on Tony Craig in the air IMO, but better on the deck, despite his size.

For those who saw Davies play against us at the Ricoh, what’s this lad like style-wise then?
Any pace? Any good on the ball or is everything a hoof? Strong in the air? Etc.

I thought he had a good game and JCH and our other forwards really didn't get a sniff. Big build and very commanding in the air.

Coventry City are essentially our development squad nowadays. Keith Houchen is being unveiled tomorrow. Rumours that Steve Ogrizovic is in talks to be our new keeper. Exciting times.

Just a Goalie, and that is the defence sorted. Then a midfielder, a winger and another Striker. Done

I remember when Gasheads moaned that DC only signed ‘ex team mates & buddies’ for our Conference journey. That didn’t work out too badly at all. On such a beautiful May afternoon, surely there’s better things to do than come online pretending to be outraged, over a ‘potential’ signing you’ve never heard of? Anyway, back to the crossword & glass of pino. Pinot.....holy sh1t and I'm not talking about the spelling.

It almost like Coventry are our big brother club. We get their hand-me-downs and then we pass ours onto our baby brothers club, Walsall!!

It’s so hard to call but I just cannot warm to Ronaldo. I know personality shouldn’t come into the conversation but the guy is a grade A plum. Ronaldo isn't even the best Ronaldo.

Another good signing on paper. We started off last season with a very short team lacking in pace cogs has brought in 3 players over 6 foot out of his four signings so far, add some pace out wide and find us a top keeper for this level and we’ll have the makings of a good league 1 side.

I must admit to feeling a lot more positive with the recent additions. As you say add some pace out wide and a decent keeper then we may have the makings of a potentially decent league 1 side , fingers crossed ...
