Well done Tilly, you said on another thread there’d be some signings. Does this mean you’ve joined the ITK club? 😉 Good experience in League 1 and still young. As to losing his way at Sunderland, I think most have done that over the past 4 years so no disgrace in that. Basket case of a club atm. Seems likely he’ll be a candidate for captain. Welcome to the gas Jack. UTG! My guess if Max from Gillingham joins us then either he or Jack will be captain. Experience defenders make good captains, they have a good view of everything in front of them.whatever I think Jack has been brought in to have a senior role in the club, not just a squad player. If Ehemr does join us and Kilgour isn't off anywhere does that mean we'll be playing 5 at the back as I can't see AK moving to RB now Hare should be filly fit.

Great news. Welcome Jack. BG putting thing’s together nicely. No mention of cost for either recent signings? On a free perhaps?

As I said last week, I think that 3 at the back is what we are looking at.

Seems like a ball playing CB, fits into Garner's intended style. Not a bad signing at face value, excited to see how he performs.

If Ehmer does join then with amount of central defenders on the books I would say its looking like he'll be playing 3 at the back as I feel playing 5 at the back is not BG style. Then again if he wants to bring in wingers like Sam Nicholson then players like Little, Hare And Leahy they will be more defensive rather then attacking full-backs. I'm just pondering how he will fit I'm Kilgour, Ehmer and Baldwin. Just my opinion

CH was also brought in last season and highly regarded, if Max Ehmer joins us it will be interesting to see how we line up.

Ends up as RB2 and CB3.

1) Tilly was right! 2) I thought BG was only able to sign teenage academy cast offs and couldn’t handle experienced pro’s?

I think Ehmer will be Craig's replacement and Baldwin will be Davies's, who by all accounts looks as if he will be out for most of next season with the problems with his knee that he currently has.
3 centre backs seemed to work against Sunderland for Garner and is conducive to the playing out from the back style that he wants to implement I suppose. So that then would leave us with Ehmer, Baldwin, Kilgour, Harries and Menayese which would be healthy competition for those places if Ehmer is to sign.

Ends up as RB2 and CB3. He’s only just signed a new contract so I’d assume he is in BG’s plans. Normally attacking and possession based football is started with 3 at the back, cause you’ve got the cover needed when the full backs are attacking, so I’d image it’s gonna be a 3-5-2 or 3-4-3, with the latter making room for wingers as the front three.

Being slightly cynical but you'd want him signing a new deal purely because of sell on value at the moment, but you're right that he's likely in the plans. Agree that the 3 at the back seems like the reasonable solution but even then you have 6 CBs on pro deals and that's before you start to include the likes of Grant and Little who can play there. Seems like an awful amount of money to have spent on one position when we have glaring frailties in other places. Although if Davies is out until at least January and Rollin went out on loan then you'd still have 4 players available who can all seemingly do a job in league one so maybe that's what ends up happening.
