In his interview he says he has played one friendly match and "no problems." Not sure that would be enough to convince me but let's see how he fares in the PSFs.
My thoughts exactly. I'd want a very rigorous pre-season at the very least as evidence. And then some kind of contract with get out clauses. No news on Ince as yet, surely he's been released by now??

I think one thing he has on his side compared to Ince is he's a lot younger. Only 22.

Aldershot fans were talking about him moving up a level when he was the starter in the fa trophy win. Interesting to see how he does.

I'd like to see some wingers soon. Our defence is looking rock solid on paper.

It was an ACL tear which required surgery twice, last time in August 2025. Been back doing running drills since January.

Also at least he seems to be mostly fit now unlike Ince when we signed him.

Only signing so far i’m not super keen on is Mathers, definitely need some more fire power up top. But i assume that is where Dowse will utilise loans
