Told the other day a young lad is joining on loan from West Ham soon, and I see we’ve got some player news coming up according to RN so this may be it

Knee jerk reaction to Saturday?

By all accounts (so far) a decent player.
We can all go on about the merits of signing youngsters on loan, and I think it says something about the situation we are in as a club.
But, if they come in and do the business that’s all that matters hey?
Welcome Joe!

MY OPINION is Joe Powell is POTENTIALLY the type of creative, hungary and quality player we require to unlock defences!
I hope on Saturday (2pm!) Cobblers fans make that extra effort to get to the PTS and back the team in a game that could have a massive bearing on our season.
Welcome Joe.

good luck to the lad I hope he smashes it for us. However, we need a bit of a Jason Taylor type , urgently, I can see a couple of names leaving and im worried we don't have the depth of experience, with MCWilliams injured again, I don't want to see a midfield of Pollock and Jay Williams again. We need to get away from the bottom, on Saturdays showing , we wont

Another young boy who has never played in the EFL , a damning inditement on the finances. Hope he does well, really not sure L2 is where you blood these young lads.

Seemingly it’s ok to throw other teams kids into our starting line up when they have no experience, but plenty say we shouldn’t do it with our own..... Bottom line is I guess you don’t know until you try them...but that should be the same argument for our own youth players too......

I am not sure if it works like that. The guy coming in is 20yrs so whilst young should be near his physical peak unlike a teenager. Was impressed by Cox on Sat both by his play and attitude. If for instance the young lads have the physique and skills by all means play them. If Saturday is anything to go by I would be relunctant to play them just yet.

A 20yr old footballer isn't anywhere near his physical peak.

I get Evers point, but it’s also difficult to judge someone on 45 minutes in one game...unless it’s Chris O’Donnell we’re talking about! 😉 It’s about striking a balance, yes granted Powell May have a bit more about him than Pollock, but Pollock is ours and part of his development should be exposure to the first team. Bringing in a young player from another club helps us out short term, but doesn’t do much for our kids long term does it?

He is certainly near it - that's why the army likes to recruit 19/20yr olds. So what is your yard stick for footballers age?

a. No. He really isn't. b. Still young enough to be brainwashed.

Blimey, it's impossible to please...
If the requirement is we sign a player who is at their peak, say 26 or 27, then presumably they're as good as they're going to be. And at our level that's not very good. A "good" to "very good" 26 / 27 year old, at their peak, will be plying their trade at a higher level than us.
We're not going to sign "good" ready made players who are at their peak unless we are very, very lucky.
L2 is journeymen, ageing good players on their way down, young lads on their way up or just bang average players.
List all our squad out and they'll fit into one of those categories.... (maybe throw in total, utter, $hite as an extra category....)

Tend to disagree with you as you do not allow for any lateral thinking.What on earth are you about ref 'brainwashing'?
