It will be if he’s any good.
They have spent long enough looking so he better be an improvement on what we have got.

Maybe someone heard Stephen Dawson’s interview and offered him a contact.

Much needed. Hopefully someone that is genuinely different to what we have and an upgrade over what we have.

If we have waited to secure our first choice then even better.

Fair enough but we've been crying out of a Stephen Dawson / Vinelot type midfielder for ages now so please God he's a central midfielder like one of those.

About time too, let's hope it's the kind of player we've needed for far too long and not another Brentford 19 year old on loan.

Well let’s hope so.
It’s important that we don’t panic and bring anybody in.
He must be an improvement and be the right age and 100% fit.

Yep, exactly. Also needs to be an upgrade to the starting XI and not just squad filler.

Perhaps this might mean Jobi's role in the playing side may be even more limited than what was projected before.

I pray we don't get this one wrong. Two years ago even Steve Davis was wanting an enforcer midfielder, but we stubbornly thought we could make the tactics work by just bringing in a superior passing midfielder.

I do feel that all fans are pretty much on the same page as to what midfielder is required, and that if we get him there will be an immediate improvement.

Gut feeling is that we might try manfully for a few more months to make this formation work, but Ling, Widdowson, Judd or Turley are never going to be effective wing-backs which puts a bit of a limit on the effectiveness of it all.

Considering the injuries Stevenage had I think it's unlikely we'll play a weaker side this season, and if we can't break them down I'd think that many games against the better sides will be simply like what we had against Plymouth.

There is no use bringing someone who doesn’t tick all those boxes.
We must look to improve, and that means taking our time and signing the right players.
Anything else is a waste of time and money.

You can’t keep relying on a player in he’s late 30s.
We must now look at bringing in better quality.

Instead of writing not another 19 year old Brentford player, why can't you write hope he's another Ebou Adams.

Interesting to note today that 19 year old Zain Westbrooke played 90 minutes in a 2-0 for Coventry today as they went 4th in League 1. Maybe just maybe the people at the club do actually know what they are doing rather than us Laptop Football Managers 😂

I said this about Jobi months ago on here and was howled down by the usual MB banshees. The whole scenario makes our inaction in not signing a mid earlier absolute madness. Nothing has changed from six weeks ago, so why are Ling et al only considering recruitment now?

Bizarre.

Dunno what the relevance of a player in a good league one team is.
Not only is the National League an aggressive and physical league but we also needed a ball winner in that league and we got zain. I’m sure he’s a good player in league one.

Also the Westbrooke of nearly two years ago was clearly a different prospect to the Westbrooke of today. You can't say that because a player is more well rounded and better developed player now that he was actually suitable for us nearly two years ago.

After today's performance, I'd rather we bring in a forward as that's the area I fear we're lightest in, but a different option in the centre of the midfield would be welcome.
