Latics_Fanatic Posted January 3, 2014 Share Posted January 3, 2014 Needed defensive cover anyway, can't be expensive. Good move I reckon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alex_balls Posted January 3, 2014 Share Posted January 3, 2014 I've no idea if he's any good or not. I'm simply speculating. Please don't be a dick about it. Sorry wasn't aimed at you, I quoted you as it as the one that I saw mention Bury first. The jist was, there was like a page of posts that hinted at posters being unhappy he's from non league, but seemed happy if Bury hadn't released him and we'd signed him direct from Bury, he'd have been a good signing.

HarryBosch Posted January 3, 2014 Share Posted January 3, 2014 So, he's been training with us all season. How did that not get out? One positive out of this is that it doesn't look like a replacement for Tarkowski - we were always going to sign him anyway, pretty much.

dec666 Posted January 3, 2014 Share Posted January 3, 2014 LJ said on Latics Player Lockwood has been training with us for four months. Like somebody said earlier he could only sign for a conference club as he was paid outside the window, so he went to Guiseley to get games and LJ has been impressed with him in training and while playing for them. Had a hip operation while at Bury which halted him there apparently. He could still be crap though, obviously. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He will have been training with us when Guiseley haven't had training which considering they are part-time will have been 1 or 2 days a week. As to how it didn't get out perhaps because he is a relative unknown, unlike say Jonathon 'Jon' Macken, so some regular watchers of training didn't recognise him, or regularly confused him with Rooney.

Latics_est_86 Posted January 3, 2014 Share Posted January 3, 2014 Just got off the phone from my mate "bury fan" after he'd finished laughing on the phone at us signing this chump he told us the nickname bury fans had that sums him up apparently, they called him deadwood as his legs were gone after 15mins appartenly! Not the most encouraging of phone calls to say the least!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not the most encouraging of phone calls to say the least!! I would hope LJ has seen enough of him in training and while playing for Guiseley to determine whether he has a fitness problem, or if his legs have gone completely. If he was suffering from a hip problem while he was at Bury hopefully that explains his form there. Edited January 3, 2014 by dec666 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrs synic Posted January 3, 2014 Share Posted January 3, 2014 As the recently bumped DP thread shows as fans we really don't have a clue how the signings will work out so I really can't see why people are moaning about this one. He good be good he could be :censored:e, lets just wait and see. At least he has plenty of experience at this level. mmmm experienced :censored:e ? is it white ?

lookersstandandy Posted January 3, 2014 Share Posted January 3, 2014 Interesting interview with LJ on LP. Lockwood been training with us for 4 months. Played at Guiseley because of red tape [release by Bury] he wasn't allowed to play any higher. Didn't feature at Bury much because of a hip operation. Prior to that was captain at Donny. Had him watched at Guiseley. Knows his new team mates already. You can't say LJ hasn't done his research, even if he did know him from his Yeovil days. I feel much better about it now.

I'm not sure I like your feeling of superiority over the fans of Guiseley, however they do have a fans forum and it looks quite well populated too. Clearly their numbers do not deter them from getting together to talk about their team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Scratch2000uk Posted January 3, 2014 Share Posted January 3, 2014 Hopefully LJ has brought him in, to mow down the worldy player and part time cannibal, Or,maybe he thinks there's too many mistakes happening at the back, and this fella is better than some of us may think he is. If not, then he'll probably get rid without too much fuss,costs come the end of the season, Give him a chance, you never know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WIZZO83 Posted January 3, 2014 Share Posted January 3, 2014 Sick of people not understanding football and having a pop at a new signing. Firstly, he was released after the end of the transfer window so conference north is the highest level you can play Would have been on big money at bury Some conference north teams pay big money and if the guy had a family to provide for what's wrong with him taking that This guy has pedigree give him a chance to show us, plus we need experience Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
