New signing

Post by Pompey55 »

Josh Martin previously of Norwich but on loan last season at Barnsley 23 games 3 goals but has a reasonable record of assists overall. He was training with us as he had moved locally the deal is until mid January
Moushino explained it's down to lack of wing cover with Anjorin now out for a while
It looks like he's lost his way somehow as he had been playing in the premiership for Norwich but spent last 3 season's out on loan

useful signing - low risk, high ceiling.

the club have had a chance to see him in training for the last couple of months - free trial if you like - so at least they know he is already integrated into the playing squad and they know exactly his level of fitness, personality and how he responds to the coaching staff.

Competition for Gavin Whyte who still isn’t pulling up trees. Think JM is looking for a pacey winger to bring in January hence only 2 month contract.

He’s a left winger so more likely cover for Karama until Scully is available rather than competition for Lane and Whyte

Bit of a no-brainer really. I know a few Norwich season ticket holders and they said he showed immense promise and then just fell off the edge, not really sure what happened. Certainly looks like he has lost his way, hopefully he can find it with us as undoubtedly has the ability, having played in the premier league.

Yup, I've fallen off the edge myself a few times but probably for different reasons....

I think the lad deserves a chance and brand new start he has every opportunity to get himself back on track and show what he can do!
