    I like his attitude and he has skill.
    I also like his big barrel chest. We haven't had a muscly bugger like him in ages.
    Similar to Norwood.

    He’s a player. R’postie is a Wigan fan says he’s a top player but lazy. If we can keep him keen he will be a top player

    We could solve a lot of our problems by playing two big lumps up front and 4-4-2. Might not be pretty, but I think it would be effective

    Except we have no one really suitable to play full back

    Cotter, Earl, Lofthouse and Gent could all play full back

    That would leave us with a bench consisting of a goalkeeper and six centre mids.

    Yes he looked decent as did Lofthouse and Jalo. Has there been any news about Jalo's injury?

    Liked him when he played for Wigan. He’s a bit of a maverick in the way he plays but an excellent player non the less. Did a great job this afternoon too.

    Always rated him when I've seen him play. Hope he can play more than he has so far.

    He looks like he'll be a real asset to us and a 1 year contract and Darrell's man management should keep him keen.

    My favourite because he looks exactly like at least ten blokes in Chennels every Friday at 4pm in hi viz gear.

    I'm not sure if his neck is normally the same width as his head but he's carrying too much extra timber at the moment.
    Spoke well in the post-match saying he wasn't fit due to no pre-season and felt like throwing up on the pitch at times. Would be a clear upgrade on what we have up-front when fit though.

    I bet there'll be carrots in it even if he doesn't eat carrots.

    Earl maybe. The rest not in my opinion

    I absolutely love Cotter and really rate Lofthouse but they're both essentially wingers
