25 years old, played for chesterfield and crewe. Most comfy at CM but can play across midfield and at RB. Highly rated by chesterfield fans but slightly injury prone.

decent signing

Keeps his cards close to his chest does our Carl.

Only a striker & a defender to go and we have at least covered minimum options.

Don't know diddly squat about him. Looks like Walton's replacement?

He's got a breadstick knee.

slightly injury prone! Another one, great!

Crewe would have signed him but their physio didn't like the look of what was going on inside his knee,so they did not proceed.Argyle are taking something of a gamble one would think on that score.

One could assume that if this guy is a gamble because of his knee. It makes him a very cheap option.

Par for the course then

He won't be featuring much next season then.

Same old Argo, same old shit

Fairly underwhelmed again. Looks like another 'squad player' type.

Who was that fullback with the dodgy ankles that hardly played a game in his career when he came here ..... Coventry ?... yet ran up a hefty wage bill ?
Looked a decent player, but oh, couldn't you just tell from his gait what was going to happen next.

That was David "Knackered me knee" McNamee.Argyle have been down this road many a time before.I can remember Argyle signing Alan Peacock many years ago,he also had had a bad injury and made very few appearances before he retired from the game.Just have to wait and see how this new guy fares.

Hit the bar once did Peacock .... I saw him play, as the Fanfest song goes no doubt... you had to be quick to catch him....signed one month ... consigned to the scrapheap next month.
The time of year for Hole in the head Peddelty stories.
It's all very well saying the club can just give a crock appearance weighted money, but there's more to it than that ... it's all about building a team, not wasting time and effort on someone who has a body that has continually failed him ... that's good energy for the NHS, but not for a football club

Ah, back in the day where at least the crocks we signed had played for England

Lowry seemed well-liked at Chesterfield as well as Crewe. His injury was a cruciate ligament and he was out of the game for many months. But he came back and did very well for Crewe on loan. He is described as a hard-working, tough-tackling player with flair.

11 goals in 100 games for Chesterfield.

According to Sky, Crewe wanted to extend his loan but they couldn't agree terms with Chesterfield. And then questions were raised by the Crewe's physio about the condition of his knee. As might be expected, nobody has come out and stated his injury is a liability. In fact when he came back from being out for so long he still performed well.

He is ours now so lets wait and see.

Hmm not sure on this one. If Crewe wanted to commit to another loan period, they weren't sure enough to buy him.

We were stitched with a club announcing they had doubts about BWP's dodgy knees, and he hasn't done too badly since we got a bag of sweets and a can of fizzy pop for him off Charlton.

If he doesnt end up with splinters on his arse from the treatment table then I see this as a shrewd bit of business from CF.
A player with decent League 1 experience, versatility and a good work ethic judging by the comments from Chesterfield & Crewe fans.

Bar the injury issues ?? Certainly the best addition to the squad so far.

Jamie sicknote signs for us, bet Asda were gutted,

He is a local lad to from Newquay.
Talk on the Farm that he turned down that lot up the road down for the opportunity to sign for Argo!

Reading this lot I wondered if somebody had died. No it turns out we signed a player. Hope he hasn't got a computer to sign on to. I'll wait and see which is my usual stance with anyone arriving. No idea how it will turn out as does anyone else.

I'm sure he will "work his socks off" like everyone else for Carl.

There's a need to start moving players out of Home Park as the squad is far too big for this level. We're extremely unlikely to have more than 50 first team games in a season so I can't see the need for this "rack 'em & stack 'em" policy.

Too many players won't be getting a regular game, which on a playing level leads to discontent & loss of form. On a financial level it looks like CF is using his budget on a couple of dozen mediocre players rather than 18 or so "first teamers" with a bit of quality,

Think the reaction on here is over negative frankly,doesn't look a bad signing to me.Decent pedigree,played well for Crewe in their run to the play offs last year.Type of player that we need,can't really understand the bad vibes on this one.I guess it comes back to making your mind up early about Fletcher and being critical if the bloke as much as farts in the wrong place but prefer to judge him on merit myself and he looks to have done well here.
