Young striker who i believe is still based in Nottingham, so not so far for travelling which has been the case for several over the last few seasons. Looks a good signing on paper, and was highly rated at Notts County.

As long as he's match fit it's a good start - possibly not a has been either.  Good luck to him!

Just as a matter of interest, how many different players have appeared for The Pilgrims this season? To be honest, I have lost count. Scotty or Ken, can you help with the answer, please?

Bishop is decent. Another one to add to the Notts based contingent of Yeomans Gatter and Durrant. Big lad (6 2) and a bit of a handful for defences. Mobile too

Mind you I said that about Brodie! Welcome to Boston Colby

I heard from someone who knew someone who saw him play for 15 minutes. Apparently he fell over. Why do we sign these guys!!

Apparently he slipped over once in training. His grandmother, Emily, used to be in Coronation Street.

Good luck to the lad, looks like Chapman can tuck a penalty with great ability.

Thanks Ken. Thought we were getting near our half-century this season. Nothing like a settled squad!

Bishop has scored 7 goals so far this season .   according to the figures on wiki "prolific scorer "  Brodie has averaged 8 goals a season over the last 7 years .

In fairness I think Drewe Broughton "earned" a living as a prolific striker on a average of about 6 goals /season in the latter years of his career .
