Alex Bray from Swansea signs

[pastiesforlife]

Not the first time of loaning a play from up the leagues who's never played a competitive pro game.
I don't remember one working out, great gamble that it is.
But one day...

Scott Sinclair, without even thinking about it.

Lee Martin wasn't too shabby either.

Sinclair had already appeared for Bristol Rovers and Chelsea by the time he signed on loan for us - though I take your point that he wasn't exactly experienced.

Everyone has to start somewhere, and while we're in League Two we'll be seeing our fair share of other clubs' kids I'm afraid.

Like Sinclair, Bray was born in Bath. Must be something in the water there to produce wingers.

It does mean Alessendra can play behind or with Reid.

Personally, the two formations I like so far was the 4-1-2-3 (saw against 2nd half Leyton Orient) and 4-2-1-3 (saw 2nd half against Southend).

The two advantages are it gives us natural width but more importantly gets the support up to Reid and stops him being so isolated.

This hopefully gives us even more pace but also someone who can cross a decent ball from out wide.

Still would like a CM though of an attacking nature.

[Suffolk Green]

Well, very happy to see an out and out winger join us, if he is anything like the 2 keeping him out of the first team in Swansea we should have some exciting times ahead.

Of course, always a gamble, but had a good football education so fingers crossed.

Will also mean Lewi can revert to being a striker again and re establishing his fruitful partnership with Rueben.

Good business for both clubs.

Was trying to think of the last time we signed a player from Swansea but couldn't recall a single one. Must be because it's Monday and I'm still in a state from Saturday.

But 'Welsh'?? :think:

 

[Lundan Cabbie]

Back to the winger.

Announcement coming soon.

Make your mind up. Signed or yet to sign?

 

[Quintrell Green]

Sean McCarthy?

Yes. That was in the day when being transferred from The Swans to THe Pilgrims was seen as promotion. Oh, for those days again, eh?
