1 good game every 8 id say. Talented but if he could practice final ball we could be more excited. Much rather see James Hurst return minus the twattitude. But i guess Ajala is definately an improvment on murombedzi. However Ajala was more effective cutting in from the left. So will butler play left back and nicho drop himself?

Anyone know how Hurst has done at Guisely?

Hurst was not in the team or on the bench for Guisley today. Injured?

Probably in a cell

Butler and Ajala would certainly be a decent pair for this level. The only thing is Butler has proved he can be an attacking threat, possibly more valuable in that area than at left back at the moment.

Seems odd that Ajala started for Dover yesterday if he is about to join us, unless Dover have some injury problems.

Nicholson is ok so long as he's got someone who works back in front of him it's his selection that has let him down.

Tend to agree with that. Despite some rating Nicho as having good games over the Christmas period, he was still getting roasted 1 v 1 defensively, and he'll continue to get roasted in a 1 v 1 situation.

Will Butler/Ajala make us a stronger team that Nicho/Butler, yes, by a country mile.

If Ajala is off why would Dover start him yesterday and why would he leave a side at the right end of the table to join a relegation team?

First team footy or maybe he preferred it here. Cant see it being any longer than a deal til may.

Slightly off the point, but I think that 'Davysbartab' can join the list of good to excellent (not quite great - that epithet is reserved for names like 'Bert' (where is he by the way?)) - but davysbartab is a good 'un.

Cheers. Can u work out who it refers to?

I've always presumed it was about David Graham.

I don't think he was very good when he was here. He couldn't really beat his man. Granted he was better at Cheltenham but presumably he is at Bath for a reason?

On that basis I would go for Ajala or Daniel.

Ajala has signed until the end of the season:

A good signing for us - no doubt about it. A tad inconsistent but better than what we have and for me our best player last season. Can't for the life of me understand why he has come back here but its a positive move.
