(how about) Lloyd Jones (signs for Northampton)

It now looks like Opoku's loan will end as planned after the Christmas games and not be extended.

Reading the Herald interview with Lowe about Abraham going back it sounds like we’ve got Opoku until 28/1/21.

Being right footed, I doubt Jones will be competing with Sawyer and Watts for the left centre back slot, which leaves the other 4.

Obviously the past few months have been dire for us, but overall I'd still say we are a better team at this level than we were under Adams in 18/19, and with better defensive protection from behind, potentially slightly better protection in front. Taking that into account, and judging Jones on how he performed for us last time, I'd say he won't be an upgrade on Canavan, will be an upgrade on Wootton and Opoku, and will be a similar level to Aimson. So not much of an upgrade overall but at least will give us more strength in depth.

And yet both Sawyer and Watts play the left back role as apparent right footers. Surely not?

Pretty much how I see it. Adding depth, but not someone who will significantly improve us (which is what we need). Hope I'm wrong.

Looks let not judge him on his last time down here. The team he played for when he was last down here was a mess at the back and free falling down the league. Adams never seemed like a manager who motivated people and he was still a young lad.

Now Lowe for his tactical faults does seem like someone who can put his arm around a player motivate them and get them back to there ability . This might be a great move for both player and club

"The team he played for when he was last down here was a mess at the back and free falling down the league." Apart from the last game this could be a description of our current situation. If he couldn't improve us in the 2nd division what makes you think he can in the 1st?

We were in League One last time he played for us.

Oops

Completely forgivable to try and forget that season.

Dodged a bullet there.

I was told he was signing for us so it must have been a money thing I reckon.

Was.probably worried about getting into the team ? Or was he worried about completely finishing his career being a scapegoat for a system that doesn't suit defenders

Not money.
