Left back, Cody mugged him on the touchline for our third at their place.

I said it was him yesterday.

Apologies Simon, just repeating what I''d read elsewhere this morning.

If this turns out to be true it doesn''t leave Wiggins in a very good position!

[Yelverton Yella 0]

Just had a quick look on the Stockport boards and they say he is playing but waiting for a hernia operation....wouldn''t have thought we need another left back with injury problems!!

I wasn''t being a board policeman! Just pointing out he''d already been mentioned to add more credibility to your claims.

[AJ 1,218]

I don''t really know why we''d bring him in though, with Whiggins supposedly a very good left-back. I can understand him not wanting to move Lappin, but Hughes did the job in midfield if he had to.

I think he''s the wrong side of 30 and picking up injuries more frequently.

Has 19 career goals from left back, including 8 for Stockport. Not bad.

No, he could be left back........in the changing room.

Maybe Lambert doesn''t think he is

Apparently in need of a hernia op however so this may be a bit wide of the mark?

[/quote]As much as I like to agree with you, I''m not sure. He''s a young player with potential who may just become a good future asset.I think if he really wasn''t in any plans he would have been released this month.

[Big Slob 0]

He''s actually pretty good, apart from his mistake against Mcdonald, he was one of their better players, quick and strong in the tackle, he''s also a threat with his left foot from free kicks.

[Cestrian Canary 0]

I saw quite a bit of him during his time at Chester and also the Stockport game this season. Professional and a very solid and able lower leagues player but would be surprised if he could cut it in the Championship. I would think it would be short term solution to provide cover for Drury. Although if he were to play for us at a higher level with us I would be quite happy for him to prove me wrong.

[Canary_on_the Trent 0]

Very liable and consistent full back, 1 of the best at this level. Got man of the match when we played Stockport earlier in the season.

[Paul Lamberts Disciple 0]

Good signing, and means we''ve got cover everywhere now!He''s young, and - like Lappin, Johnson, Martin, Doc (everyone pretty much) - will likely improve in a winning team playing in front of big, noisy crowds, and for an inspirational manager.[:)]

He''s not especially young though is he? I thought he was around 23. Would seem odd to me to bring in another left-back if he was in our plans, are there any question marks over his attitude? He certainly didn''t seem to get on well with Warnock at Palace (not that that means he has an attitude problem!).

[Mr. T 0]

Anyone heard any more on this story?

[/quote]Yeah, you''re right, he''s 22. But then, who is to say that this Stockport thing has any truth in it whatsoever anyway lol?

[singing canary 0]

i cant imagine warnock being a easy manager to get on with to be honest.

[SplatCat 18]

He was pretty good when we played Stockport, very strong going forward but took perhaps one too many risksw which is why Cody mugged him.  Apart from the game against Norwich I seem to remember him scoring an absolute blinder for Stockport earlier in the season, might have been a free kick..

[Have Heart 0]

Didn''t he conceed the penalty when we played them earlier this season?

[Canary_on_the Trent 0]

[quote user="Have Heart"]Didn''t he conceed the penalty when we played them earlier this season?[/quote]

I thought that was the centre back, after the ball had been played inside to Martin?

Rose did however give the ball away late on for the last goal when he was trying to force the ball forward for an equaliser.
