With Brindley being out for around 6 weeks we've bought in some defensive cover and it's a familiar face in Sam Graham, but I do wonder if he was second choice ????

According to reports we’ve been unsuccessful in our attempts to sign Geraldo Bajrami from Kidderminster, a young centre back and former Birmingham City U23 captain who's played international football for Albania's U21s.

 

A young loanee from the Championship is always going to be a short-term fix, while Geraldo Bajrami (fantastic name) would presumably have been for the longer term. I think it's generally better to get someone on board who will be in the side for the next two or three years, and that's no reflection on Graham.

I'm not a massive fan of Sam Graham. I saw him play in the Australian league before he came to us and I wasn't impressed. Nothing I've seen from him in a Notts shirt has changed my mind.
