If he can get/stay fit he would be a good signing for us next season in National South. He looks a proper player , the sort of midfielder we need . Will wait for someone to chip in with 'but he's not got any pace !'

Moyse will play pro football for a living, I would lay money that Johnson will release him at the end of the season as he is not one of his, you have to have played for him at different clubs at least twice before he trusts you.

yes it makes no sense, surely city or argyle have players needing minutes that would make more sense. glad GJ brother is earing his wage!! shocking

I agree with Devonbee that Alex Moyse is a fine prospect and I cannot understand why he has not been recalled.

If on loan as he is surely we have a release clause in the contract.

You could see from his 20 minutes on Saturday he is / was ! a good player. Looks just the sort we need in midfield but way off the pace , slow and unfit.
Only 32 but dropped down to National North 3 years ago which seems odd.
Perhaps he's not that good now ! or got plagued with injuries - should fit in well !
Desperately need another striker though,
we just don't have the sharpness and quality to convert chances. Don't think Fadahunsi is the answer, Collins looks the part at times but seems a bit lightweight.

Personally if Dawson is the best option..... I would have called Alex Moyse back for added cover, from what I saw of him pre-season he will add more to this squad than Hanson . As for Hall, was it Yeovil away on Jan 1st he last played ?

it screams desperation, a league below, not played all season but its good enough for us.

the recruitment has been awful. how are we not knocking on Exeter or Plymouths door for a forward or midfielder.

as soon as lee johnson left bristol city that was it we couldn't rely on the loans from them and its all coming out in the wash how the recruitment really works.

Another one to add to the 'Dads Army' probably unable to last 90 minutes Brigade.
They are going to have to get him fit pretty damn quick or the season will be over. Let's hope his experience when fit , will count and make a positive impact for our survival hopes.

Whose idea was it to sign a player well past his prime and who isn't fit enough to play 90 minutes?

The club's recruitment over the past two seasons has, on the whole, been an absolute joke!!

I will reserve judgement until fit, but hardly an inspirational signing is it 🤔

He has played 4 games this season. Although he was supporters' and players' player of the season for the 2021/22 season he has struggled to retain his first team place this season within City's squad of 32.

It does make me wonder if my hunch all along is right, are we gearing up for relegation?, Strange signing from a lower league club, and not match fit..

According to the Gloucester City website he has joined us so he can regain match fitness.
So there you have it, we're in a relegation battle and we sign a player that is not even match fit.
Still GJ has worked with him in the past at Cheltenham so that's all right, Dan Holman mk2?

Hardly a signing to set the pulse racing!!
