Club originally said he was out for the season. Another Robinson signing who didn’t impress me as being anywhere near league one standard. It would be good if Obikas wage could be used towards a free agent striker. Connor Wickham is still unattached. Might do a job till the end of the season. Not sure why he left FGR though having scored 6 in 16 appearances for them.

That's a complete falsehood about Mullin. Bentley offered him a contract but Mullin turned it down to go to Swindon. We got a small fee due to Mullin being 23 or under and us offering him a contract on the same or better terms.
