A good solid pro at the twilight of his career. Probs do a job for us but no point in signing him because he'd be injured after five minutes. They all are.

Looks just what we need big centre half with plenty of experience however the past two seasons has hardly played. I guess this would be a gamble.

heard it from 2 people now hes meant to be signing - was a good CB for Carlisle and got his move to Exeter too.

would of been nice having him and Mattock in that back line.

we need to replace Johnson now too or give Pruti a chance back in the fold.

Mattock is injured and gone back to Harrogate. Its a hamstring so I doubt he will be back.

Since he joined them, they have played 14 games. He started 11 and was on the bench in another.

According to official site Brennan, Johnson and Seaman's loans have ended and they've gone back to clubs. I presume Lenny didnt rate Brennan. The other two were injured. Pruti is confirmed as back so I presume he will be CB with Manni O. We are a bit short in defence if either of them go off injured which is course par for the course.

As I say Parkes on paper looks exactly what we want but records show he joined Livingston in 2021 and has only played 12 games. I am not trying to be negative but those figures do not have me jumping up with joy but I do remember Mick Smith who could hardly walk but was a giant for us.

Fully agree as I say Mick Smith was the perfect example but the figures I show that he hasn’t been playing. I’m only been cautious .

Made the Livingston first team match day squad 17 times this season, but only started 3 games.
Not much game time.. hasn't completed a full game.
Been used as back up squad player.

Absolutely right Mr Stomper.
Missed one game through suspension, on the bench the other, and played every other game since joining Farnborough in October.
Yes, Pruti is more than good enough imo.
And his return is the best news of the day tbh.

Err... I think you will find there are many many more "good pros" who can only train but not play.
We have a few.
Train well, look the business, but come match day go weak at the knees, and fold at the first sign of trouble.
Not many get away with being a George Best type of pro in this day and age matey. :)

Well we have a very thin defence for tomorrow, unless we reveal new players in the morning....
