Jack Walton ?

The bloke off X factor ? Lives down Aketon Road ?

Jeez - Dons' recruitment has gone downhill.

You'd have signed him if he was called Jackibibble Waltonisquob

Looks half decent on paper - bit short on experience but should all be fit lads..

With Tom out, will Danny go on wing and put Lee in centre ...still think for now Lee is a mammoth handful for most in that position. Still have Welham too so options in the backs..

Let's hope now Pas has learned the game and will be like a whole new signing - should be very Villa like if delivers..

From the few guys I know and what I hear the main thing that keeps coming back is that the atmosphere at the club is top drawer, and that is a great place to start...

Surprised at some of the numbers tbh - I thought Tom Carr and Dave Scott would be the other way round, didn't see Pas being in the centres or Welham being 17 and Waterman out of the 17 as backs are rarely on the bench and Waterman is always good. Anyway I've no doubt it will all change as and when necessary before the start of the season - afterall we already know Tom Carr is out.

Perhaps the Gateshead thing was a factor

Indeed, we would. As long as he had a visa.
