Already played for Bristol city first team.
Just signed a 3 year contract with them (they must rate him).
Naturally left footed centre back.

He’ll do for me.

Always good to have another option. He's likely to have a bit more pace than our other central defenders and, if he can pass it a bit, could help us set up with a 3-5-2 or perhaps a 3-4-3 at times.

I’m guessing this is to cover for Longe-King.

Always thought we'd bring in another CB.

I think most will understand that Saturday's pairing of Waterfall and Pearson is lacking a bit of pace and mobility. And the general plan would be to have one of them alongside Longe-King or another more mobile type in his mould.

So now should be Longe-King/Towler alongside Waterfall/Pearson.

Makes sense to me.

And to those who might say...booo thought we were after a striker.....well clearly we still are. It doesnt mean we cant improve other areas of the team too.

Quoted from RichMariner
Comes highly recommended... from Bristol City...

Let's hope it's not from Holloway's scouting network!

Just kidding. But having loaned a few players from the Bristol area last season, and it not really work out for any of them, I imagine we have to sell ourselves even harder given the reputational damage Runaway and Fenty caused.

Hopefully, before too long, we don't have to do the hard sell and good people will want to come and play for us.

I always think four centre backs is more than enough but then I remember the time we went into that Palace cup game with Hall-Johnson and Luke Hendrie as our centre backs because of an injury/suspension crisis!


Going back to that Palace game, I thought Cardwell was brilliant when he came on and slotted into the centre of our back 8.

Echo what Tommy has mentioned. Think we won't see a Pearson/Waterfall partnership unless in a 3-5-2 this year. He will rotate with Longe-King and get his chance in the next few games to prove his worth.

Yep, Hurst even said last week (?) that there might another one coming in that wasn't a striker.
