Big Clayton doing what a lot of us knew he would do - getting goals and running beyond defenders. l hope his injury isnt too bad.

Wouldnt surprise me if Wilder is non commital either way.
Bolton and Norwich then won't know for sure whether to prepare their defense against Donaldson, Ched or Brooks.

Donaldson is a player I wanted at the lane 5 years ago, 4 years ago, I could go on. Yes, he probably isn't as mobile as he used to be, but he's powerful, got an eye for goal, and has got experience at this level.

I'm happy with this signing, plus on a 1 year contract with an option to extend we have got this deal spot on. If he chips in with 7/8 goals it'd be worth it. When Clarke's back from suspension our options look better, and when Lavery is fit again I'm fairly content with our striking options.

I would've liked some more pace in the side, but that's not what Donaldson was bought for, that's what the 3 failed signings were for by the sounds of it.

If we had only signed Cole or Sinclair I'd have been much less enthused.

Not available tomorrow but could make Saturday is what Chris said but he hesitated and I'm not sure they've reviewed the scan yet.
 
Seems the Clarke injury rumour wasn't true which is good news.

Clarke, Sharp and Ched to choose from with Brooks as the ace in the hole. Not as bad as many of us thought after Clayton's injury.

Or Clarke, who everyone seems to have forgotten about.

Being fair - wilder had always said we have to be clever and get players from different pots.

Duffy last year was 30 odd and free but could do it at the level required. First impressions of Donaldson is the same think he can do it in the here and now. And surely that's the entire point a good cost effective signing has been made to add to the team - wilder was clever enough to see that even if no one else in the league wanted him.

And let's face it we couldn't afford a 27/28 year old Donaldson at his prime.

To be fair we could have afforded a 27 year old free agent Donaldson who had just scored 26 goals for Crewe but apparently Danny Wilson preferred Chris fucking Porter.

Feck me, I've seen far worse up front for us than Chris Porter. I liked the guy, he always gave his all and scored the odd crucial goal.

Agree with that Gray. Not half as bad as many make out. Always seemed like a confidence player to me and when he found a bit of form under Clough he looked pretty good. Then of course he gets shipped out to be replaced by Higdon.....jesus wept.
