brill news! we have two wingers able to take on players which should help us a lot. good signing! regardless of what his attitude is like, he needs to prove himself and if he dont well he will be in the same situation as he was last season.

he will come good here!

Notts are pulling out all the stops for my visit to tthe lane.Looking forward to this match even more now.

I like the slightly passive aggressive comment from the BBC

 

"Campbell-Rice has played for 11 different clubs during a career that began at Charlton in 2002"

I'm waiting for the deluded brigade to start mentioning playoffs again We should avoid a relegation battle now.

It was probably written by either a Sheffield United fan or another rival team, perhaps even Preston North End???

I don't read the BBC, I only obtain stories.

Playoffs?? We're on for Automatic pal [emoji13]

You Pies!

Good news if he plays like he did towards the end of last season and definitely a good signing if we are going to play 4-4-2. I'm looking forward to Saturday now with renewed optimism!!

It makes me laugh because highlights how stupid the move to sheff utd was. did not work out and now he's back! good for us mind.

Good move, makes sense to get a player like him but do we really have to do this each year? We loan too many players. That said, we need it right now.

Have to say this signng left me completely stunned when I saw it yesterday, really not sure what to think!

I'm going to wait to see which JCR we're getting before I start getting excited. If we're getting the JCR who was simply unplayable in April during that incredible run that kept us up, then this is a fantastic piece of business. If we're getting the mardy little s**t we had to put up with for two years before that and who then decided to go about his contract negotiations in public, then god help us.

Can't say as I shed too many tears when he left, as good as he was at the end of last season it didn't excuse the fact he didn't look interested for the two years before that, and the fact he then demanded a pay rise having turned up for 12 games of a two year contract certainly left a bitter taste in the mouth.

That said, this move must have taken a lot of humility on his part, he's certainly had to eat humble pie, and he came across well in his interview on Magpie Player.

I think Sheffield United must have looked at our fixture list before sending him here too. They surely noted we play Swindon Town, MK Dons, Bradford City, Preston North End, Rochdale and Doncaster Rovers in the coming months, so it's pottentially a win win if he does the busienss for us...

Fingers crossed we're getting the JCR we had in April. He single handedly tore Port Vale a new one last season, so a similar performance this weekend would be great!

@weymouthPIE, wasn't it Sheehan who started his negotiations in public immediately after the Oldham game? Can't remember JCR going public on anything, might be wrong though.

 

I'm glad we've brought some genuine talent in in JCR and McCourt, even though they're erratic. I've gained the impression that we have been predictable and one-paced all season. It'll be interesting to see how SD sets the team up now, and which role Thompson will take - lone striker? Or will we finally play him and Bajner together up front?

 

I hope we follow this up with a quality centre half. We're currently playing an old man and our fitness coach in that position, with the only alternative being Hollis, who has never struck me as being anything more than your typical "hoof it" non-league defender. McKenzie seems to have boarded that flight to Mars.

When he can be bothered he's a quality player at this level. Let's see tomorrow.

Interesting signing - I'm not as optimistic as many others. He was hit & miss before and he was his ineffective, wasteful, self at their place earlier this season, despite tearing Cranston apart at times.

However, at his best he is miles better than the tripe we've had to endure like Hayhurst, McLaughlin, Whitehouse & Santos!

Welcome back JCR, let's see some razzle dazzle.
