I'd like somebody signed permanent but it doesn't look like we will get any
He will get a mauling from the resident maulers

strange signing if you ask me,a 19 yo defender,when is he going to get a run out?

or get on it

It's really strange, at least he's getting reserve football where he is.

Maybe Lowry is off?

It says on official site he's been brought in for cover in case of injuries or suspensions,he probably won't come off the bench.

we have 4 CB already at saltergate. What does this say? Greys injury is worse than first thought? AOH is not rated?

Lad is a right back who can also play centre back and midfield. Currently Picken is out for a while with this hand injury he's picked up so we only have Lowry at right back plus we've had to play Rooney or Ward on the right recently due to a lack of a wide right player.

We have a busy few weeks coming up so need to cover these two positions and a bonus that he also covers two other positions as well but one of them isnt left back so doesnt effect O'Hare in the slighest and he is still cover for Robertson at left back.

Looks like a good signing, I see he won young player of the year last term for forest.

Taken from Forest site:
The Irish teenager was crowned 'Young Player of the Year' last season following a marvellous campaign at Academy, reserve and first team level.

He underlined his impressive versatility by operating in a number of positions, culminating in his elevation to the first team squad and his debut as a substitute in a 1-0 win over Gillingham in March '07.

Although primarily regarded as a right back, he's equally comfortable in the centre of defence and also operated in midfield at times last season.

He has a keen eye for goal - as he demonstrated by bagging the winning goals in a couple of reserve games - and is poised for a big future at The City Ground

Thats not my slant on it. To me the announcement suggests that we need more numbers in the squad, to provide more cover, NOT that Moloney has been aquired as a reserve.
Sure we need more cover, but let's let Rooney provide it. We should play Moloney to release Lowry for RHS midfield. I see the lad is 6 foot 1. Sounds very very much like Lowry.

Keep Lowery at fullback where he has regained his form of late. If the new lad is as good as they sayplay him in front of Jamie, with Niven and Leven centre, Wardy wide left. (Fletch.and Jack uo front).

Sounds good so why let him out on loan???

But you can't ingore Lowry's habit of popping up with a goal or an assist. He's the best we have in the rhs position.

Signed him on loan on Football Manager for Chesterfield before. My football manager game = real life!

He sounds decent but I don't know how many chances he'll get in the team...
