There was a post on another site that suggested that Sheehan would sign a loan deal until the end of the season with Luton, but would sign a permanent contract with us in the summer.  This does seem to rely on 'the grapevine' again, in this case I hope it's not grapes of the sour variety we end up with.

Signs on loan for one club but wanting to sign permanent for us in the summer...that sounds strange! Really I would hope that amongst the squad Fullarton can sort out a decent back four, maybe McKenzie will get a chance, Is there more quality to see from Amevor? 

I seriously doubt we will ever see Amevor again, but I can see Fullarton going out and getting a centre half with physical presence, which is our priority after all. Good luck to Sheez, but we are covered at left back and I would rather see the money available go elsewhere in the team. 

He might come back in the summer, as I'm sure we will want to talk to him, but it all depends on if the manager wants him, or not.

 

Both Amevor and McKenzie have looked pretty solid at centre back in the last two reserve games (clean sheets in both).  It's hard to know what standard of opposition they were up against, but neither did their first team chances any harm.

I take it that Sprockel has been banished from the club for impersonating (badly) a footballer? Wouldn't mind seeing McKenzie again, as I have only seen him once and he did OK, but I think he is made of glass.

Sheehan would have been useful today, I didn't praise Hollis in the match thread but the lad lead well. It's a shame he didn't have support in Sheehan, as he would have brought awareness to the game.

"Questions will be asked why I didn't sign?" On BBC Radio Nottingham, he said he had an "offer" from the old manager (Moniz), but he had not subsequently spoken to Jamie... and "who is the someone who didn't want him"?

I didn't hear the interview, only from a third party who said the same thing. I can only think that it was GB that didn't want him, but haven't a clue why as he is miles better than anyone else who plays in our back four.

I still stand by the fact that we need a big ugly centre half though and not Sheehan in that position. Sheehan as a left back and centre half cover? It would have been a yes.

 

I see Guy has said elsewhere "Sheehan was offered a contract and turned it down"

Not consistent by what was reported by our own media I am afraid.

I highly doubt it if Spencer can bang goals for fun in reserves then gets realsed what does that say for the others not a great deal

It's hard to know the standard in reserve games, the rules state a certain number of under-21 players have to play so there are plenty of kids on the pitch.  In the game against Scunny Spencer was up against a couple of big, strong typical League 1 or 2 centre backs, and he barely got a look in.

he's 5x better then stead so end of 

stead is the better finisher but spencer could have improved more with the quality of strikers around him.

only thing to jimmys advantage is hes more mobile and holds the ball up. i do not think we tried sign sheehan despite what branston has supposedly said, i think its regrets talking or egos.

Good luck to him wherever he goes.
