I see johnson has said on twitter that jarvis will be out till about christmas with his knee injury, I hope that is more accurate date than his dawson prediction, he did mention last week that the club had a bid in on another striker, best he crack on and make that happen, preferably before saturday.

Now there is a surprise (not).

Good to see some contact from the club, any update on De Silva or Martin though?

But we have got another forward in from fleetwood, theo williams, if he is half as good as dolan then we will have a good acquisition.

Another one loaned from the extensive Johnson scouting network!

Skillsy, absolutely!

Let's give the player a chance and be thankful we got someone in. I wouldn't mind if GJ signed 2 more from Fleetwood. I don't give a hoot if they are half decent, and so let's give them a chance to see if they are! Coyy!

We have been very fortunate with the Lee Johnson connection, and had some good loan players from his clubs over the years. I posted in support of the Dolan loan, and I will support this loan as well.

However, football clubs can be fickle and Lee could be sacked in a few months if he does not do well. Therefore please forgive me for not jumping for joy that we can seemingly only get players to join us from Fleetwood.

We got a great loan player from Soton last season and hopefully aided his development - why have we not further developed that link? Pearce came in and barely got on the pitch.

Why shouldnt we mock it though - we were told that noone wants to come here yet we get 2 players in a week from Manchester where his son happens to manage - bit laughable really.

Will have to change the strip to red and white soon as Fleetwood reserves!!

Close contact with Fleetwood?? Just as well Johnson Junior doesn’t manage Plymouth Parkway!

Hopefully Dolan and Williams would know each other and there might be some understanding between them.
Maybe they might even gell with Ash .. we can but hope !!

Who is Noone? ....and loanees are from Fleetwood, not Manchester.

Try to keep up!

Noone does want to come here, but GJ just won't sign Noone.

I do hope these loanees are better than Noone

We don’t want Noone, he’s 75 FFS :-

Well, we do need some experience and if we’re struggling to sign players then what’s the difference between 1 x 75 year old and two 32.5 year olds

Plus, GJ talks about playing entertaining football and this chap won Noone won the “Entertainer of the Year” in 2019
