Clay is very poor from what I have seen of him. Bizarre signing.

glad pittman has signed but for clay that is a shocking signing.

I cant believe he has signed him.


You only really know if a signing is shocking after a sustained period of time, we don't know what Hurst has seen in him and we don't know how far down the pecking order he is, how much he is on or where and how he wants him to play.

It might be worth giving players a chance before writing them off completely.

Neither were messers futcher, tillson or Mendonca


Yes but we are in the conference premier now. Having said, I having seen Clay play once, I said I would be disappointed if we signed him and I am. I cannot believe there are no better central midfielders out there who could offer something different and could be pursuaded to join us. I agree Clay gives us a bit of height which we lack in the middle but apart from that now much. Ido hope he turns out to be ok but will need to improve a lot. If we play 442 then I guess we will perm 2 out of 3 from Disley, Brown and Paddy so clay will warm the bench for a good number of games.
Pittman is a gamble but if he comes good then he might get back on the goal trail. Personally, I think Nathan Arnold could useful playing in a more central striking role, if the others are not finding the net.

if its alright with you I will use the judgement of me seeing him in 4 matches and the very good knowledge of a few York fans who said think jamal fyfield but in midfield when he joined on trial thankyou very much.

have you seen him play ?

We'd be moaning if we were forced to play Disley/Brown in an FA Trophy match due to injuries... At this level can you expect a squad player to fill all the criteria us fans expect?

I don't expect we'll see much of him anyway, if his wage equals more to spend on the missing striker then it's a master stroke IMO. Time will tell.

A friend of mine watched Wrexham play at Hednesford on Sat and says Wrexham looked like a good team and that Jennings was excellent. The one that got away eh? I think Paul Hurst was pinning his striker hopes on signing him and was clearly disappointed when he didn't. Oh well water under the bridge as they say.

Can't help but think this is the result of Hurst not securing his targets and panicking. Not only are the hairs on my neck not standing up, I'd go so far as to say this is prehaps the most disappointing summer of signings yet. The best is by far Mackreth but other than that it's a huge anti climax.

Anybody think we've got a team that's going to win a title?
