With the signing of x3 players @ 6ft + (plus a couple more rumoured additions @ 6ft +) ......it would appear that Robbie is trying to inject a bit of much needed height into the squad??

A bit of realism about the style of football and physicality required to be successful in the lower leagues is so refreshing.

Might also reduce the amount of bloody corners we conceded from last season!

Pretty sure Humphrys, Lund and Shaugnessy were all 6ft+ so not really.

Tangled up in blue.

What I find more interesting is that they're half season deals. Again in previous seasons we've seen huge steps made by clubs from January onwards in League 2 and this gives us that flexibility in January if things aren't working out.

Poll: What are we more excited for?

You need some height in lower leagues simply because no matter how you play in possession, you have to first get possession and when the other team keeps putting the ball up in the air, if you dont have some height its not easy getting the ball.
I welcome the arrival of some bigger lads to the club, I think it gives the whole team a psycholgical lift when you look around and you see you have some big lads too.
Stockdale is getting the emphasis right for me, a more direct style, some youthful pace and more "presence".... well done!

He said that he was after more physicality when he first arrived. Something which we've lacked for a few years now in my opinion

Possession with progression.

Totally agree. Other than EOC and Humphreys… could you name many other “physical” players in the last few years?!
