Played 3 of the last 4 seasons in the championship, brilliant on the ball with a strong leader like mentality.

Highly rated by all his previous clubs and their fans.... His pedigree far exceeds Jordans

So a CV that’s a bit better. Not sure it’s enough for me to go out on a limb and assume he’ll be better. We can only wait and see.

To be fair, there were times last season towards the end where we looked better without Jordan in the side and Tom Davis was playing... Just being honest

I hope they know that the goalkeeping flap that led to their second goal at SoL wasn’t an out of the blue freak accident!...

We can. McFad's not the long term answer either.

Anyway, I'll miss Jordan. We did our best to ruin him by playing him at right back, but he came through that and showed he has plenty of attributes to be a decent CB. Hope he does well for himself... just that we do even better!

Not sure if I'm just looking for it but he looks so disappointed when he's talking about Championship interest.

‘McFadzean will be better’

Can I just ask what people are basing this on?
Click to expand...

Agreed-I’m reserving my judgement from what I have heard. Pace wise-he’s really really slow and I don’t fancy him getting destroyed like Hyam did a few seasons back.

That being said Hyam rise since that game has been impressive. He hasn’t been beaten for pace since.

I hope McFadzean has a great season

Very disappointing both for him and us that he's ended up just joining another L1 rival, for whatever reason.

I think the Championship interest was there, but interest does not equate to offers. I think there are a few question marks over him regarding fitness, height etc that put them off and at most would have looked on him as a squad player who might have taken his chance should it have come about. At this level he's a starter.

I certainly hope he's not gone to Sunderland because they offered him more money than a Champ team.

I'd applaud him in the warm up if he reacts to the crowd, but I'm hoping he doesn't get a McSheffrey like welcome, applause every time he touches the ball, moves a foot, brushes a blade of grass, etc. That's was sooo cringe!

Great servant for us. Stuck with the club as we dropped two divisions. Always felt he could play at a higher level due to his incredible pace but of course his distribution always seemed to let him down.

Good luck to him.


That kit though? Jesus Christ, horrific.

In my opinion mcfadzean is a fantastic replacement and rose as understudy, we probably couldn't really have signed much better and there won't be much if any better centre half 2 than hyam and fadz in league 1.

Hyam reads the ball so well, always cool calm and collective I'm really happy we still have him, he will definitely play at a higher level one day I'm just hoping it's with us
Click to expand...

I think we’ve well too, to the extent that I don’t think Hyam is necessarily a shoe-in as a starter. McFadzean is going to be a big player for us next season as he offers something we lacked last season: experience and leadership (despite Kelly, you need more than one leader).

I do think Willis would be starter if he stayed because he’d compliment McFadzean v well, but having Hyam is growing to be a very, very good defender and Rose is also highly regarded.

Losing Willis is a loss for sure, but one we’ve mitigated very well to be fair to Robins and the recruitment team.

Yes, he says linked with Champ clubs not spoke to or had offers from. I guess he had to settle for Sunderland.

Aside from McFadzean, all of our CBs are under the age of 25 and there’s about 5 of them off the top of my head, with only Drysdale yet to make a start in L1.

Reminds me of Doyle when he arrived at County in January, very downbeat. Not his first choice me thinks. I've never rated him as highly as some, decent in this league but not sure if he could cut it higher up, looks like the championship agreed. As for him signing for Sunderland, if he was only left with teams in this league to choose from he's at one of the biggest now, hope we do the double over them though.

I’m disappointed that he’ll be playing against us next year. Arguably our best defender and i’d hoped for something more for him.
Is Curtis Nelson, who’s just gone to Cardiff from oxford, better than him?

Indeed, but the comparison was McFad v Willis. We don't know if the young ones will make it or not, we do know Willis is already more than competent at this level, probably the one above, and is young enough to improve further.

Let’s be honest, Willis thought he was billy big bollocks, on his way up the leagues, but no championship club came in with a solid offer, and we had moved on and bought in replacements, so rather than sign on the dole he grabbed the first offer that came in, hence he’s staying at the level he’s been used to. I wouldnt be surprised if he was on the blower to Burge begging him to put a word in.
As for his talents, He’s a reasonably solid league 1 centre half, strong, quick but not commanding enough in the air, and not the best at defending corners and set pieces.
He was a good servant to us, but not a big loss as I think we’ve signed a better player to replace him.

I think he's definitely very good at this level, hes definitely a good addition for them

I agree though I believe we have signed a better player, this season will show, defensively we will be sound
