NATHAN BUNCE

[Guest]

FLEET SIGN EXPERIENCED CENTRE HALF

With Paul McCarthy sustaining a broken nose against Accrington Stanley and Lee Shearer having left the club, Andy Ford has moved swiftly to get a new centre half in. Nathan Bunce aged 29 has signed from Weymouth and is available for selection for the New Years day game against Crawley.

Nathan's career began at Hayes and he had two spells with Stevenage and one with Farnborough before joining Weymouth.

Official confirmation?

 

Presumably a loan signing, if he has joined, as we have 4 centre backs.

It's on ConfGuide too. The wording in the statement above doesn't imply loan.

[Jimmy]

Weymouth site has him as being released.

Based in London apparently.

Have any Weymouth fans given there opinion?

[Guest]

Hope not, but could this mean the end of the road for Chris Moore?

[Guest]

There`s a post on the Billericay forum saying that Moore is available for transfer, they might have him mixed up with Shearer though.

Fordy needs to sort it out if he lets Moore go, Shears just going was bad and now Nathan Bunce has come, good player but is he past it.

Just wondering where the news article at the top of the thread is from.

Past it? he's only 29!

I guess it may be Non Contract Terms?? May be totally incorrect, but its just a thought?

[Bate'o]

I thought he was excellent today, should have scored at the end, but defended very well!

[Slartibartfast]

He certainly looked comfortable today and was unlucky with the header at the end.

Great signing. Was immense at the back I thought. Might be just what we need to install a bit of confidence and a calming influence accross the back four. Him and Mccarthy at the back will surely be a very solid combination?

[Roy gnfc]

At last,a signing that looks the part.A very impessive debut,just what was needed,well done Nathan.We looked a far better team when Pinnock came on,and unlucky(again)not to take all three points

[Hempstead Gaz]

Looked just what Andy was looking for - a solid, no nonsence centre half of the "old school", but also composed on the ball and supportive of the defenders around him.

It was good to see him applauding Pops and give him a couple of encouraging slaps on the shoulder, Pops has great potential, and will no doubt benefit from playing alongside Bunce and McCarthy.

Thought we defended very well as a unit today in horrible conditions, swirling wind. skiddy pitch and steady drizzle.

Pullen's handling was superb, plus a couple of brave punches and 2 or 3 really good saves to boot. Even his kicking worked!!

Prothers never stopped running for 90 mins, sending some good crosses from which we were unlucky not to score.

Big well done to Dukebox today, another great game.

The one minus point - the rumour around where I was standing was that Dukebox is thinking about leaving. I hope it's not true, but if a Football League side made a good offer, we have no real right to stand in his way, as with the right coaching, he could become another Jimmy Bullard, premiership bound.

bunce was superb today heard rumours that moores going any truth on the matter anyone? we looked more solid without that donkey McCarthy sorry to rock the boat again but i dont rate the guy

[Hempstead Gaz]

Bit unkind, on McCarthy, fleet Fan. He may not be in his first flush of youth, but, like Bunce, he does look solid.

[gnfc_guy]

Nathan Bunce played well today imo, it was hard to tell it was his first game as he fitted in so well. Also i liked the way he was telling the players wat to do as it seemed like he knew wat he was on about! Also liking the way he gives players praise, hopefully building up some confidence which we need desperatly.

 

Up Da Fleet!
