    Experienced, talented, Left back from Ipswich. Good recruitment, that.

    Did you know you could still sign good defenders in League One? I didn't!

    We could have done with some more full backs

    No re-sale value...... Therefore strengthening of the squad with experienced players is secondary

    At last, a sympathetic voice that understands and appreciates the boards policy. Well done, sir.

    Strengthening an already very good League 1 defence, with an experienced player others can learn from in the back line.

    Keeping us in league one and avoiding relegation seems secondary to our board based on this summer’s recruitment.

    Behave, how can we possibly compete with clubs like Oxford?

    It's character building getting pulled apart every week by teams you should be wiping the floor with.

    I don't know about relegation but we obviously haven't invested in the best players available to strengthen our promotion push....... We have invested and prioritised the 'hope' of future profit over anything else.

    Clueless/inexperienced/ delusional are all words you could use to describe the board of directors at BFC.

    oh, Steven, you are terribly, terribly, wrong. I don't think it is character building at all.

    Maybe they are sacrificing this season

    Short term pain for supposed long term gains

    Prioritise filling the squad with potential

    I get that impression anyway.

    Well the jury is still out for me, if he does turn out that way you can only blame the person or people who hired him....... Again. How many times do they get away with it (cough) flatbread.
