LWB, am I reading between the lines that Nursey maybe out for a while?

Finally the lwb that allows Shipley to move forward.

Makes sense really, with Nurse out. Gives back up to Shipley or a more natural option at LWB for Shipley to play further forward. Wouldn't be surprised to see back 4 used at times too and so a much better option than having Shipley there. That said, there are multiple players who can also cover LB/LWB already, albeit not their first choice position - Anderson, Thorpe, Sobowale. Definitely have a lot of defensive options!

Ollie Westbury has just said he was surprised by this, however he understands Nurse's injury to be very serious. I'm not expecting Benning to be playing much but we have some cover which will hopefully avoid some of the ridiculous things we saw last season with players out of position

According to the Vale statement he activated a one year extension to his contract a few weeks back. He has subsequently been told that he is down the pecking order and not likely to play much, therefore opted to come to us. Seems to be viewed as a L2 player by Vale fans. Will have to wait and see

A sensible addition for cover purposes. Best of luck, Mal!

First British Asian town player?
Numbers are increasing but still very low. But can't recall another?

I don’t think he played for the first team and left for Kidderminster. I vaguely recall he didn’t play for an EFL club and I believe he also played for Telford, Solihull Moorsand Tamworth.

I dont think it's an issue, unless anyone is looking to try and make it one.

Another 1 year deal. But a good one none the less. Welcome Mal!

We could have done with a few signings like this last season. Solid squad player for cover that will probably be cheap but can bring experience to the squad.

Good Move, I'm guessing Nurse's replacement for the season.

Welcome Mal.
Symbolic of a new regime who look like they're not going to take any chances and want to ensure we'v egot cover in all positions.
Things coming together nicely on the eve of the season.

It feels like all bases are covered, but whether they’re covered by sufficient quality will soon become apparent. Also good news that the supposed exodus that was started by Leahy hasn’t gone any further, yet. We have a squad, and if we can use those two remaining loans without losing anyone else we’ll be more than stocked.

I heard It was a relief to the others when he left , he was stuck up the arse of the previous manager 😝

Horrendous. One injury like that has a huge physical and mental toll, but to have two consecutive ones must just be awful.

First British Asian town player? Numbers are increasing but still very low. But can't recall another? Why is this an issue? Odd comment. I presume you are referring to the numbers of British Asians being very low as an issue. I'm guessing you probably don't really care, but I think the lack of diversity of any kind is an issue in football. The numbers of British Asians playing professional football is something like 0.25%, so there is next to no representation. The fact that he is the first player that may appear in town's first team possibly ever, despite the large communities across the West Midlands shows how rare it is. That is always going to harm integration and inclusion and football and therefore society. We have seen many issues about racism, homophobia and sexism across football (and society), and that may give a fairly clear nod to why there are no or very few open gay footballers and no women football managers across professional men's football, and very few officials. You may not see that as an issue but I do

Out of contract so those things happen. I was more thinking about the worries over some sort of fire sale of every single one of our saleable assets.
