I've just watched the scout report - he flies along, doesn't he?

I just hope we play the ball in front of him for him to run onto
Nothing more frustrating for a winger than having to check his stride from a poor pass
As long as we have some good ball playing midfielders our service out wide shouldn't be an issue

Excited with this signing.

Opposition fans haven't even slagged him orf. St Mirren fans on twitter that I've seen are all disappointed he's left them. When did that last happen, normally we're told straight away how rubbish our new signings are!!  Grin

He's bound to be inconsistent, 99% of wingers are. However, his pace along with Pinnock's will clearly mean teams will set themselves up a bit deeper against us.

Good stuff!

Graham Carr plundered the non league to produce a fantastic side, JB is plundering Scotland.

I just hope he stays away from the national team.

I'd hedge a bet that JB hadn't even heard of any of these players north of the border prior to the arrival of Martin Foyle.

I guess if we sink the finger will be pointed at Martin Foyle. If we float JB will take the credit Smiley

Well at the very least he will have competition now, something he amazingly didn't have at all last season due to Curle's bizarre squad planning!

I hope the addition of pacey wide players will make Rose and/or Smith look better this year. Neither are particularly capable of making things out of nothing (bar Rose's bicycle kick wonder goal) but both seemingly could score a decent amount if they are getting crosses from the byline more often. That didn't happen enough last year as we didn't have that pace or invention in wide areas so fingers crossed that Pinnock and Connolly can add that, and Hoskins raises his game to what we have seen from him before!

Cobblers twitter page, 20 quoted retweets mainly from St Mirren and Bradford fans. Not seen any overly negative comments. A few 'inconsistent' ones but that's always the case with wingers at this level.

What I do know from following a lower league football team all over the country for 30 plus years is that if you've got a bloody quick winger, it definitely gets you playing further up the pitch because the opposition are scared of pace and set up deeper. It appears we've now got two.

So even if they are inconsistent, which I have no doubt they will be (!!!) it wont overly matter because they will be tightly marked and our other lads will get less attention.

As a former winger himself, let's hope that Brady can get the best out Pinnock and Donnelly.

The recruitment so far has a 'traditional 4-4-2' vibe about it: two wingers, pacey striker, midfielder known for getting on the end of crosses. Nothing wrong with 4-4-2 at L2 level, but it will be interesting to see how we get on against teams who employ more defensive/midfield-heavy formations if this is to be the case.

Besides from the obvious centre back, RB and GK, I would still love us to to sign a creative attacking midfielder with guile and an eye for a pass and a dominant centre forward who can win headers - not convinced we have one of those yet.

Perhaps Chuks can emerge properly and provide that elusive creative X factor this year.

Quite pleased with the signings we've made from a style of play perspective. If we can muster some decent quality to plug the obvious holes at he back, I'd be fancying us for an exciting season.

Same for me. Think in a lower division we would have seen the best of him. He has quite a decent passing range but we didn't have the mobile targets for him to find last year!

So far we have signed 4 players and in every case the forum of the club they are leaving are filled with negative comments about them.
A selection from the St. Mirren forum:-"He's lightning quick but has no end product"," I was surprised we offered him a new contract" and "it might have been worth keeping him to use as a sub". It seems that although he has featured in most of their games he has not made the starting 11 for a while. St. Mirren fans have not forgiven us as somebody was reported to have told them that Junior Morias would score 20 goals a season for them.
I'm not expecting too many more signings until our main targets have finished playing in the euros.
