Wasn't Bernie Slaven about 33 when he signed him? 

Not a bad short term signing imo. 👍

31 when it was full English breakfast pie n chips for tea followed by 6 pints and 20 park drive

I disagree but let’s see how it all pans out

He's on here somewhere, along with Aspin. Some crackers on there that make me feel that I've actually aged pretty well.

Edit: Can't embed a link, I'll try and do it but otherwise have a look for 'footballers aging badly'. Well worth a trip down memory lane.

Pretty pleased with our January transfer business, though Clark moving on in the short term increases pressure on the right back to perform. 
Paton, I wish it had been more positive, a really likeable guy.

Number in and out including Hart, Richards  and our junior goalie, have trimmed the squad and balanced it better. It is now up to them and JB to put in the effort and see what we can do. Have we got the skill to do it? We will have to wait and see.

Supporters, it is now, putting any individual feelings to one side, up to us to generate the support of the team with noise and togetherness.

 

We've got this! UTV

Does anyone know when Gray is likely to be available? 

Still undecided on the andre gray signing, mega name, but 15 goals in 3 seasons suggests his best days are behind him, id call this a gray area #PVFC

We are now stronger than before the window. Different strikers up top let’s see how it goes. We had too many wasted chances previously so let’s see if these can hit the net. 

It's almost impossible to say whether or not we are stronger given we've only seen Archer properly yet.

His club in Turkey are rock bottom of the Turkish Super League. So that could explain why he struggled to score.

One would imagine he could have retired by now if he wanted to, with the money he has made in his career. So, quite probably, he just wants to play football as you're along time retired. David McGoldrick is 38 and can't stop scoring at this level, so let's see what Gray can do.

Can't stop scoring at this level?

He's scored the same amount of goals as Devante Cole did for us. 😂

Agree with this too - big question marks on the front line & service. We've seen bits and pieces what JB wants to try and do - get the ball in behind, etc and we've done well to win at Orient with a set piece. But it's a bit of an unknown at the moment, can't be sure what what we have on paper and not seeing anything in action yet. 

I hope that Gray still has some pace about him and I'm worried at the idea of him & Stockley up front being a very slow pairing.... will just have to see what combinations JB puts together and how we get things going. 

Billy Sharp is 39 and still playing so he could be good for a few more years. 
As long as we don’t put him out wide à la Cole and play him as a CF we should be OK. He's got to be more mobile than Ryan Loft otherwise some knob would have tied a flag to him

We had stats saying we had the most missed chances. The strikers before Cole included could not plant those chances. Those players before were here when we sank to the bottom. We can’t be any worse.

People were moaning that we released Johnson the other day who is 35?? 
 

Damned if you do, damned if you don’t.

Yeah that's a great point. He'd still be our best wingback if we'd kept him and he's older than Gray.
