Sammy states on the Bay interview he has joined us. A young pacey forward/winger :D

The next Duffy?

Aley has done well and should be a decent acquisition, we were never close to getting Morris, he has played 7 or 8 times in the prem this season. Similar Blackburn players have either gone to Championship or Scots Prem, not bottom half dozen of league 2.

What makes people think Hendrie is any good, his amazing performances in the reserves, oh hang on...............................

He is ok and deserved a longer run in the side before being shipped out

Don't know anything about him but all is good if it helps to get us away from the bottom of the league.

In the Bay interview, Sammy says he can play on the left or anywhere across the front line... Hendrie sent out on loan to bring him in.

sounds good to me put him straight in there in the left of midfield then Hurst backover on the right side where he looks more effective than he did in that left-side slot against Bradford

Nice to know we've got a decent player now that might be-able to work some magic for the club.
Does anyone know what foot he is?

Should he be thrown into this relegation 6 pointer after only playing in non pressurised reserve team football?

For me it's best he starts on the bench and gets to see how we play for 70 minutes or so.

Play him. We can't afford to be cautious.

I agree marky . We can't afford to not play him this is a really big game for us and Barnet and it is a must win.

I can't see why it would be such a big problem. I think the midfield needs changing from Saturday's performance. We played 4 central midfielders and never created anything until Shuker came on. People can blame the Strikers all they want, but since Duffy left, I haven't seen any spark from the midfield. I think Sammy needs to push Wilson back up into the left midfield slot, and have either then new lad or Shuker on the right wing, otherwise we're really going to struggle again. Then let Drummond, Fleming, Hunter and Hurst (along with Brown) battle it out for the two middle slots. If he goes straight into the squad, then maybe the current players might get the message.

I wonder if he will start tomorrow? It would be just like Sammy to throw a guy who has probably trained once with the first team straight into the mix.
