Could he have not joined in April for a month? :)

Pleased with this even though it's another loan signing because I think our midfield needs pepping up somewhat so IMO it is a worthwhile addition. Maybe we can lose Mozika and get Joss instead, a far better player IMO.

Welcome back Joss! :bow:

Great news. Such a massive influence, not least for his goals last season, let's hope he can have a similar influence this time around.

Given the news earlier, with the recall of Lathrope, it does seem to suggest that Mozika may not be around too much longer. I wouldn't be too surprised to see him follow Chris Brass back to his former club Bury but I would imagine there will be quite a few clubs at our level who would be interested in him. It may also mean that Jak McCourt may not figure quite so much as he has been, given that Labadie, Mansell, Lathrope and Craig and perhaps even Mozika for the time being at least will be in competition for a central midfield spot.

Staggering news! I wouldn't have expected this in a million years given he came in at the start of Knill's tenure. He showed what he could do before and is a very welcome addition. I'd be interested to know whether GH made this decision along with the Lathrope recall by himself or if there is now input from another source?

Great signing. Just a shame it's only for a month. Good work to all involved in bringing him back. Wonder if he'd be interested in managing until May, at least it would keep him here until the end of the season :)

Can't say I'm disappointed. I accept he is still getting back to full speed but from what I've seen of him he is nothing we really couldn't do without. Joss gave us energy and goals last season and if he can do the same again then i'll be over the moon.

To be fair, I believe Labadie has been on our radar for a little while and would probably have joined us, if Alan Knll was still here. The fact that he has still joined us, even though Knill is no longer with us, is presumably testament to how much he enjoyed his time here last time around.

Great news. But surprising that we're bringing players in without having a manager though. Unless the decision has already been made...

As someone pointed out in another post, it was more Labadie that kept us up last year than Knill. I think that this is great news and am looking forward to his contribution on the pitch!

A certain someone had already done the groundwork for this one I believe...someone who of course won't now get any credit. Great to have him back though.
