Armstrong clearly stated a few weeks ago ( prior to the injury glut ) that he was happy with squad he had.Spyman wrote: ↑Fri Oct 16, 2020 9:13 pmTo be fair, he may well not have been given the deal he's been given if Hatfield and Atkinson were not injured - so in that sense luck may well be involved in his having the opportunity to come back.lo36789 wrote:He is not lucky.Footifanreturns wrote: ↑Fri Oct 16, 2020 8:01 pmHe is lucky that we happen to have a batch of injuries, so he has a second opportunity to prove his ability by playing & putting himself in the shop window.
When did it become luck to be asked to do a job when you are proven to be proficient at that job.
Of course, Armstrong may have asked him to come back regardless - he was offered a deal before looking elsewhere and we've not brought anyone else in to play in that position, so suggests he may have been here even with others still fit.

So yes he was lucky to get a second opportunity whether he is proficient or not. I doubt very much if we had not had the injuries he would have gotten the chance.
In no way am I against the non contract offer, he could be a good addition to the squad...It will be interesting to see if he takes a contract offer from us if one comes up.
