Jsweeting24 Posted January 3, 2014 Share Posted January 3, 2014 Let's not write him off yet. I imagine he is just cover as Byrne is likely to be off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

4froale Posted January 3, 2014 Share Posted January 3, 2014 could be similar to the paul murray signing last season, id guess he Is here to help out with a bit of coaching as oppose to playing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Diego_Sideburns Posted January 3, 2014 Author Share Posted January 3, 2014 Quote from Guiseley official site: A vastly experienced centre-back playing outside of the football league for the first time, Lockwood arrived at Nethermoor with a proven pedigree while making more than 300 appearances in total for Yeovil and Doncaster. In the 2012-13 season he made 20 appearances for Bury, before being released near to the closure of the transfer window at the end of September 2013. After defensive errors had blighted Guiseley’s early season, particularly during the injury-enforced absence of player-of-the-season Danny Ellis, Mark Bower turned to Lockwood to bring a cool head to the Lions’ backline. Adam is a tall, strong defender who reads the game well and makes vital interventions to see off dangerous moves. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simpo Posted January 3, 2014 Share Posted January 3, 2014 As he was released by Bury outside a transfer window (September), I believe Guiseley play at the highest level Lockwood could legally play at. He signed a deal til Jan 1st, presumable just to get some games in, and now here he is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IOWA1984 Posted January 3, 2014 Share Posted January 3, 2014 Ah ok.Least he has a decent league experience. kept himself playing at Guiseley, least he'll have some fitness. Can't be that bad surely? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crusoe Posted January 3, 2014 Share Posted January 3, 2014 Never really understood why Johnson shouldn't sign players he knows. It's hardly in his interest to sign poor quality players and increase his chances of getting the sack. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lookersstandandy Posted January 3, 2014 Share Posted January 3, 2014 Not cup-tied. He surely doesn't go into a team featuring Suarez after Guisley's last game was on Boxing day against Harrogate Town. He has to be cover for Tarky and Kusunga, surely.

eyres_28 Posted January 3, 2014 Share Posted January 3, 2014 Surely impossible to judge this one until we see him. However, he comes with loads of experience, which is the one attribute we lack in abundance across the squad. If you think of what happens when either Tarky or Smith have a quiet match, the team dissapear into their shadows and we lack any sort of leadership. He's unlikely to be quick, but if he can bring some calmness to the side it can only be a bonus. This should please the Connor haters as it will release Kusunga to play RB. If we add one or both of Harkins and Worall to this then it has been a decent days business. If he has come, like Muzza, to play a coaching role then delete the above comments!

Break The Silence Posted January 3, 2014 Share Posted January 3, 2014 (edited) Jobs for the boys again? Another of Johnson's mates Am I missing something here? If LJ has personal experience of playing in the same side as them, and rates them, what's the big deal? Surely it's better than panic signing players he has very little knowledge of? LJ is the manager. FFS, let's trust him to sign players of his own choice. Edited January 3, 2014 by Break The Silence Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adelatics Posted January 3, 2014 Share Posted January 3, 2014 I'm not really fussed if it's corney's old butler if he does a good job On the pitch.I think a bit of experience is probably needed, give us a bit more bite and hopefully if midfield signings come Off a bit more guile in the middle unlocking defences Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dec666 Posted January 3, 2014 Share Posted January 3, 2014 I think I'd walk out if this guy starts on Sunday. I hope LJ's mate is on peanuts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IOWA1984 Posted January 3, 2014 Share Posted January 3, 2014 Jobs for the boys again?Could be, however appears to have league experience and LJ knows him, gives us options, on the surface looks a decent signing, do you reckon? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NewBlue Posted January 3, 2014 Share Posted January 3, 2014 I see this as a sign that Byrne is to leave and we're signings a similarly experienced player significantly on a lower wage. We won't see him play often I'd guess. LJ needs to be careful bringing in friends because, however logical the signings are, it creates an unwanted perception of nepotism. It's something disgruntled fans will use against him... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
