He'll push a fairly capable Preston for his position and hopefully overtake him. He'd be a fantastic backup option and we'd be a great option for him to prove he's fit and capable.

No brainer


Think you’ve got it the wrong way around. We need to be bringing in better than Preston and hopefully Habergham is exactly that.

Given he’s not played for two years a six month initial contract on a small weekly wage with an additional payment each appearance, or something like that, would appear a sensible approach to adopt IMO.

If he wasn't fit, I doubt he'd even be getting a trial. The question is whether his knee will hold up to the exertions of playing in a game. Today will go some way to answering that.

No I absolutely get that it's needed, but lets be realistic in the fact that he's going to take a few weeks to force Preston out of the team

Quoted from Stew0_0
Hurst stated the other day that he is going to split the squad into 2 training groups as the squad was too big to train in one go, so am sure the players under 23 and not yet ready for the first team, i.e, Sisay, Idehen, Hope, Jackson Jnr, Starbuck etc will continue training aside from the first team so Hurst can concentrate on the smaller group.

Good idea I feel


Its the obvious thing to do now that the support staff numbers have grown. Previously there was only Ben Davies who used to do the training for the whole team. Ollie just used to shout at players and 'teach' them by waving his arms around.

But now there is Hursty, puppy Doig, and Ben Davies, so splitting them up makes perfect sense.

I have deep reservations about signing a player who hasn't played for so long but if he's on a 'pay as you play' or some variant of that (ie not a full time 18 month contract!) then let's go for it.

Surely PH isn't stupid enough to offer him a full-time contract due to his recent injury problems. As you say a week to week pay as you play contract seems far more sensible, until he has proved his fitness.

Good job things have changed or he may have had a 6 day rolling contract

      I didn't realise that we had so many football managers in this town, just let PH get on with it.

     In Hurst we trust ( well i do)

What we don't know is that he might have been training like a dog for the past 6 months and is fitter than the rest of the squad, all he lacks is 'match fitness'.
