Watters heading north of the border on loan to Dundee

[Chris Black come back]

Crawley Town cleaned up there didn’t they.

[Metalmicky]

He signed a 3 year deal in 2023 - so still has a year on Barnsley's books.  Had a glorious season at Crawley and Cardiff saw something in him - but the reported £1 million fee they paid appears OTT now.

Wasn’t it just half a season?

Goes to show that paying big money for a striker just because they’ve hit a bit of form and are top of the scoring charts mid-season is dumb. But most fans would want their club to do it.

[Harrogate Rover]

Cameron John signed for Hartlepool on a season long loan from York.

[Chris Black come back]

Oh dear. Moving from second placed York City to mid-table also rans Hartlepool
United seems a backwards step for the lad. Thought he had it in him to be a decent EFL player.

Thought he was good at York last season. Strange move.

Yes, Micky, it looks like Crawley had Cardiff's trousers down.

[Chris Black come back]

John Lundstram signed for Hull City on season loan from Trabzonspor. Decent move for him at 31.

[roversdude]

Thought Hull were under an embargo, does it not cover loans ?

[Chris Black come back]

Danny Andrew gone to Stockport County on short deal as cover.

[ncRover]

Street looking electric for Lincoln here. Unlucky not to be credited with that first goal. Typical movement from him.

Not unlucky really, he played a cross that was not on target and the defender put it on target and in?

Cant believe the space he had!

Would've loved him back but it ain't happening.

[Chris Black come back]

Hiwula I think is trial at Boston United this week, and played yesterday in their match against Sheffield United u21s.

[Copps is Magic]

haha.

How is this not a penatly at 9:46 and ours was?

Anyway, good to see Joe Wright back in England. I didn't notice he signed for Bradford.

Olowu on bench for Stockport with Danny Andrew.

Teddy starts for Bolton.

[Chris Black come back]

Clean sheet for Big Tom on his debut yesterday along of course with a booking. Uninspiring 0-0 home draw with Bromley is a bit concerning though.

We cant talk after our record against Bromley last season!

[Chris Black come back]

Actually I had thought that as they were in League One last season and signings like Big Tom and Sam Stubbs, they would be a far better bet for promotion. As it stands they are also rans with the bookies, not much different at all to Bromley. So maybe that was quite a decent result for them!

Superb ball into the box by Andrew by the way leading to Stockports second goal.

I wouldn’t say a 0-0 first fixture result would be concerning, for any side in any division.

[Jimmydee]

Max Watters scored a beauty for Dundee

Are Marquis and Biggins still there?

[Ye-Aul-Tavern]

I watched Brandon Fleming play for Derry City my local team Shamrock Rovers yesterday. He played well although Rovers won comfortably enough in the end.

I really rated Brandon Fleming.

Yep, both started on Saturday along with Big Tom. They had Sam Stubbs and Sam Clucas starting also. A strong side for League Two. Managed by Michael Appleton as well. Ex-Rover Sean Parrish is their first team coach.

[BobG]

Now there's a player we could do with in our midfield right now!

They look a good bet for promotion.

[Chris Black come back]

That is what I thought but they are absolutely nowhere with the bookies. Odds closer to relegation than promotion.

[MachoMadness]

The thinking is they have signed a load of big names who are either past it or don't fit with Appleton's preferred style of play. Plus in the last couple of years there is a trend of sides dropping into L2 then being relegated again. I can see it.
