Hope he does well and is another Nico Lawrence but a series of young loanees from under 21 teams learning the game is not the answer. Is it any wonder we are where we are ?

Come on, let's put 2 and 2 together. There's been no money to get these type of players in. Obviously the chat this week has included Osborne, who is now allowing some cash to be spent.

Face the facts Johnson has blown the budget on his old favourite crocks. The Dads Army mob. Now he is trying to save this embarrassing season. Just like last season it’s probably to late to rescue a season in Feb.

Doubt he'll go straight into starting XI??, He probably hasn't even had a training session with his team mates, you can't just throw a defense together with 3 new defenders an expect "take off" , this season is so reminiscent of last season, SO many players coming and going, new faces in/out, it takes training, drills, understanding and HOURS on the training pitch working as a unit, NOT throwing in players any old how and expecting instant results, the more I think about tomorrow, I've said 2-2 but I can see us getting beat, it wouldn't surprise me.

He chucked Jude-Boyd into the starting 11 after meeting him for the first time at Reading services on their way up to Maidstone, so knowing him Nelson probably will be playing tomorrow.

Is it GJ realising the defence needs stengthening, or just reacting to Moxey, Marshall and Tomlinson possibly being injured?

Either way, welcome to the club and good luck tomorrow!

Yes, this has also been my main criticism of Gary Johnson. It has been bleedin obvious right from the start of the season where the problem was. 50 goals now conceded in 30 games. Very very frustrating but better late than never I suppose.
Still feel that we should make the playoffs.
Welcome Ronny

3x defenders in over the last few games. It has taken until February to work this out ? Glaringly obvious for all to see where we needed to strengthen.
Pleased we have strengthened but now probably far too late as we play catch up.🙄

He’s 6’4” so certainly a presence!
