I've seen this bloke once and that was in a friendly but he looked half decent to me.:sorted:Let's hope he can stay injury free.

How about Connell and Poole? I just wanted to act insane and copy some of the great ideas of the team for Grimsby. On the plus side they might be very creative but the negatives might be in the tracking back, ball winning and the fact that they won't get a single touch of the ball but you can't have everything. Your thoughts?

Well, if you can't find the right centre back... get loads of em!! lol

Is this a loan or a permanent deal ?
can't seem to see from the site although It's probably under my nose somewhere.

Permanent I think, but as you note the O/S does not make this clear... (never mind length of deal etc).

'Wall V Brighton

Even then Knight, starting on the bench again to accomodate Virgo's return from a three-match ban, had the chance to set up a tense finish when Mark Phillips brought him down inside the area


and

Palace V 'Wall

Mark Phillips brought down the onrushing Adebola, but Black failed to make it three in two games when Warner guessed right to save his weak effort.

V Orient ,fans forum



Then on 12 minutes and even before quite a few Millwall fans had got to their seats (Millwall ticket office, say no more) Mark Phillips proved what many had suspected for some time, that his legs are actually conjoined twins and are incapable of moving independently of each other

;)

good signing!:wave:Hamers gonna get some penalty practice!

Good signing I think, looked ok pre season and if/when the loanees go back will be the best we have.

Also anything that puts Osborne further down the pecking order gets my vote.
 

Mark Phillips signs from Millwall

Good news this. Perhaps he will partner Wilson in defence with Bennett relegated to the bench.
 

Mark Phillips signs from Millwall

i suspect its more likely to be Bennett and Phillips,,,

Why hasn't he had a club for so long?

He was released by Millwall in June. It represents a gamble by Andy Scott given his shocking injury record but I'm sure any contract given to him by BFC has reflected this.

Good luck Mark and here's to a long and successful career at Brentford. :sorted:

Does this mean Zara will start attending GP?? :brow: :love2:
 

Mark Phillips signs from Millwall

He looked quite quick in the pre-season matches, a centre-back with a bit of pace is just what's needed to complement the current ones.

I was hoping that this would be the case. This is more of a gamble than Heywood's medical madness.
 

Mark Phillips signs from Millwall

how long is his contract?

how many centre backs includint the ones on loan do we have now?

Bennett, Phillips, Osborne, Wilson and Johnson makes 5, though Scott may see Johnson as more of a left-back of course.
 

Mark Phillips signs from Millwall

Are Bennett and Wilson on 1 month loans?

Dont know anything about him other than the reports listed on here but sounds promising providing he stays injury free!!!

I would say a massive gamble!

Against Woking Terry Butcher's walking looking like ballet compared to this crock hobbling aorund.

Seems to me like another knee jerk siging as there is "no one else".

:cry:
 

Mark Phillips signs from Millwall

i would expect one out of bennett and wilson to have their loan deal extended, but this is a good signing none the less :sorted:
roll on saturday!!

I am beginning to think AS reads the GPG and is one of those posters calling for radical changes after two defeats.
I think if we lose on Saturday, he may even post, calling for his own sacking :confused::confused::confused:

Welcome to Mark Phillips anyway......:sneakoff:

I don't think this can be described as 'knee jerk', AS had him on trial preseason and talked positively about him, I think AS would have liked to have signed him this time last week but didn't for whatever reason.

He looked like a good player but would agree that there is a risk involved considering his history.

Fingers crossed for a sucessful full season out of him!
 

Mark Phillips signs from Millwall

Hoping that he is the one to solve our defensive woes. Was playing in the Championship when fit so if he can stay injury free should be a decent signing.
 

Mark Phillips signs from Millwall

The "Ten a penny" Div 2 CBs don't appear to have materialised and maybe this is the end of Pearce but AS did say at one point he would like both.

If he stays fit he could be a decent signing as he appears to have genuine ability...at least we have options and by all accounts Wilson played well on Tuesday.
 

Mark Phillips signs from Millwall

He'll play a handfull of games, he's in for cover only.
Will miss 15 games through bans, and 10 through injury.

Not in slightest knee jerk.AS likes him,he has potential IF he can stay fit.I believe he was offered a contract a few weeks back and hes been stalling.Maybe the offer was increased slightly due to the current injury pile up.
 

Mark Phillips signs from Millwall

I thought he looked OK pre-season . We certainly haven't found the right defensive combination so far.

This seems to be true for most of our new signings. Youngish players who have played at a higher level, but have had bad injuries just as their careers should have been taking off.

This season could very very exciting or very embarassing. Either way, it's better to have a younger crock with talent than an old crock who's past it.
 

Mark Phillips signs from Millwall

This could be an inspired signing or a disaster. If he stays fit then he's going to be a quality signing for us I reckon. Be interesting to see what happens to the other centre backs - how about about both Bennett and Wilson staying and Osborne out on loan?

After a couple of early decent games Bennett has looked at best ordinary so after one month, maybe he should be the one that goes. Especially as he is likely costing us the most. :idea:

I am very hopeful Phillips will be good signing. Lets just hope he stays fit. :sorted:

I have to say I wouldn't lose any sleep over that. Maybe he needs someone decent alongside him though.
 

Mark Phillips signs from Millwall

I think Bennett needs a few games to get fully match fit and to play alongside a decent CB before we can properly judge him. He hasn't played alot pre season and looked to be wary of KO at Bury so hopefully with Phillips alongside him he can concentrate on his own game and prove his worth.

If by the end of the month he isn't looking like a good signing then back to Reading he goes.
 

Mark Phillips signs from Millwall

Hopefully he's going to work out well for us :cool:
