Whoever writes the biography section got bored around 2013 by the looks of it too.

This looks a reasonable bit of business and a signing for the next few years.
Over 100 competitive appearances with 70 of those in the national league with Hereford and Telford. A good size in 6'3" and a player done his grounding climbing back up in his career.
A Widdrington signing on the looks.

Three signings already and it is only mid-May.

This is exactly what needed to happen last year.

Glad to see Robins on it so much.

 

[Nick]

Wasn't a winner that night though was he?

Oh, this one

He enjoyed his best game in a Cobblers shirt in last weekend’s 2-1 FA Cup win over Coventry City at the Ricoh Arena, and is performing so well that he is likely to keep his place alongside Zander Diamond this weekend, even though Ryan Cresswell is fit and available again. “Rod has had to play in a couple of big games,” said Town boss Wilder. “He played in the Newcastle game and he was outstanding, and on Saturday I thought the two centre-halves were really good, backed up by two really good performances either side of them.

 

[lift tower]

He was decent for us and well liked by the fans. When Wilder first brought him in he was inexperienced and a bit nervous having come from non-league but playing alongside more experienced defenders he blossomed, probably due to Wilder's man management, and was very good in our title winning season. This season Page didn't even want to give him a chance and following his sacking Edinburgh seemingly didn't want to risk him either.

Hope he does well for you, he deserves it.

yeah its almost like sisu admitted recruitment a problem and will change it up for next manager.

 

[IrishSkyBlue]

hopefully he can do a job, early signings are good wonder how many more will be signed MR is doing the right thing getting in bodies early while they are theyre on the budget he has.

 

[steve82]

Just hope this Rodney ain't no plonka!
A 24 carrot diamond!

Or the manager we had during the last pre season just fucked it up?

 

[Nick]

So for CB now we have:

Willis (if he stays)
Turnbull (but can leave)
Harries
Rodders
Stokes (if he signs)

Still need an older head I think.

 

[covcity4life]

i may be mistaken but is this now 3 signings that have played a role in league 2 promotion in past?

yeah that makes more sense doesnt it?!

thats a good unit now so we will be good to go if we dont buy anyone. but i agree one experience dlump would help

Rumoured to be in the region of 300,000 .
We've signed
Doyle : league 2 winner
McNulty : playoffs with Pompey
McDonald : league 2 winner

The spine of the team , new keeper would be great

Absolutely superb business so far , how can you not start to get excited

maybe sisu are starting to wise up,you gotta give back if you want fans

nopm is working?

 

[chiefdave]

This is getting a bit much now. At this rate we'll have all the players signed and ready before the first match.

Willis will be gone, got a year left so can walk for free if not sold now or peanuts in January when we will need to get a replacement. It's not good business sense to let his contract run down and he's very unlikely to resign or extend terms.

Interesting that Rodders can also play left back so I assume he's left footed? Spells the end of Cian Harries who rodders is the more likely replacement.

I also agree a experienced head needs adding to the back four. My money's on Scunthorpes Murfin.

That t shirt.....

 

[superskyblue]

I don't know this guy but I like the sound of him and prepared to trust Robins/Tommy's judgement. Taking this as a positive for sure!

 

[vow]

I quite liked Nathan Clarke and believe he would have been that "lump" in L2.
He had a couple of bad games toby fayre, but the rest I thought he was solid.

 

[jackdg]

His nickname should be either 'Old' or 'Ronald'

Or Cody

Younger realtive (or just a shave and a different shirt?!)
