To give more context, we were in dire need of a midfielder who could handle pressure and help create opportunities. We weren’t performing well in League One, ending the season in 18th place. He came from Chelsea, so he might have wondered why he should put in effort at this level. I hope his stint at Ostersund has helped him improve, but don’t expect him to be like Matt Palmer. From our recent games, I’d say Palmer is an excellent hard worker, a quality that Charlie Colkett didn’t display during his loan spell. That’s one of the reasons why we ended his loan.

I respect Notts and hope the new signing works out, but I’d advise not to be too hopeful. He’s a bit of a mixed bag. His stint at Shrewsbury isn’t remembered well and we ended his loan. He only played one league game and a few cup matches, which speaks volumes about his impact. We were optimistic when he joined as he clearly has talent, but it soon became clear that he’s idle, lacks drive and wasn’t that good. His injury record is a concern, even Jack Wilshere is less injury-prone. If you can motivate him and keep him fit, he could be useful. Otherwise, he’ll likely spend most of his time on the bench. I’d expect him to fall into that category. Don’t be misled by his Chelsea footage. It’s very misleading. Apologies to the Pie fans.

Long time, Magpie friends! I have just seen who your final pre-season game is against. Will any of you be coming to the game? Will it be your first trip to Montgomery Waters Meadow? I hope to see some of the older faces that might remember me and @friendlyshrew.

Unbiased, that is why I like this site. Thanks for mentioning this! Big day for us, one we can be very proud about. I see the game as being a draw myself. Good Luck Magpies! -

apart from your youth setup and his time towards the end of his career i'm not familiar with him. this gives outsiders or those with limited info a much better idea, so i can actually glance at his career with this nice write up.

praise for the work to both Joe's. this is an excellent write up, as I didn't hear the match, relying on comments it's nice to see that they was fair after reading this. great write up! well done for pulling back the game.
