All these clubs and 'wealth of experience' is all well and good but looking at his stats it looks like he hardly figured at these clubs. Shockingly low number of games which suggests he's managed to get his foot in a number of doors thanks to his Dad.
I'll back him and trust Bignots judgment. Hope it works out well for him, and us.

Happy that we have signed him. Has a wealth of experience from this level, and from around the world. We all need to give him a chance though. I can remember Rowe-Turner getting criticised by Torquay, and he has really impressed me so far. Welcome to Chester FC Myles! 🔵⚪️🔵⚪️ He’s played 75 games in his whole career, calling that a whealth of experience is a stretch. And none of them for a halfway decent team and none of them in a successful season. TUFC supporters are not bemoaning their loss!

Remember when Torquay fans told us how dreadful LRT was. He’s not been too bad this season. Have to disagree, he is a weak link at the back. Teams were clearly seen to be told to plough the ball in his direction. Has glimmering moment's, but certainly not the answer at the back.

This is typical deva chat. We sign a player, nobody's probably seen the lad play more than once and 90% of the posts are negative and relate to what someone's mate or other clubs that he's been at have said about him. Let's see how he plays and then judge him?
As for LRT, certainly isn't the weak link at the back! Has anyone been watching Halls and McCombe this season? Granted they've not played every game of late due to injury. LRT isn't a bad player, played well in a back 3 against goats and actually has some pace, would made a decent wing back with some good centre backs behind him.

When Ryan Higgins is considered to be Torquays best defender, where does that leave the others. LRT is a poor fullback but I still think he could do a job left midfield.

Here is some radical thinking. Let's give him a chance and then make our minds up. Agree, I think Bignot deserves better than this. With the acception of one or two characters, we all generally like what he's doing, so why not have some faith in his decisions? I also think we have to be realistic about what types of players we're going to sign. It's either going to be kids from bigger clubs, gambles from smaller clubs, or similar players from similar clubs. It's down to Bignot to get the best out of them. Some of you have a very anal approach to assessing players which consists of "well, if X can get in Y's team ahead of him, then Z must be really crap". It doesn't work like that, football isn't a mathematical formula. Players play differently at different clubs, and under different managers. If they didn't, how do you explain the fact that of the six players we immediately released at the end of last season, two are now playing for clubs near the top of the league and one is a division higher?

I feel all the negativity is the result of the degree of venom accumulated towards the McCarthy situation, and the feeling of being let down by the majority in power at the club in allowing him to totally waste what was a record budget. Such is the hatred and disbelief in the situation that it will take a long time to get rid of strong opinions. However, we are where we are, and none of this recent history is the fault of Marcus Bignot, and so it is important that all fans accept the current set of circumstances and fully support all efforts by the current manager. He is the only one who can improve and develop the club at present, and in an unfortunate cashless situation not of his making. He is undoubtedly attracting the best available footballers that the situation will allow. I dare say his choices would have been vastly different had he been appointed in late April.

Sounds like he's played at left back, so I wouldn't say it's fair to judge him on that.
If he can win a header and kick a ball, he'll do fine at this level.

I'm sure Myles Anderson isn't a world beater, who is in our squad? But if he can be relied on to be half decent and give some more options at the back he may be fine for a while. If we avoid relegation with some gritty performances then our current squad will be remembered fondly despite their limitations.

That pretty much proves my whole point. Ask any Chester fan their view on Higgins and we will all say he's utter sh*te, ask a Torquay fan and he's a star man for them. What does that tell us about judging what other supports think of ex players?

What does that tell us about judging what other supports think of ex players? Too many players have performed better after leaving the clutches of the dynamic duo of Burr and McCarthy to be a coincidence. Having watched LRT both in preseason and subsequently, I think he has many positive attributes suited to either centre back or wing back. My preference is for shorter full backs against wingers, but I’m happy with the manager’s choice.

I have been watching the back 4 closely, I know managers from a couple of other clubs have been watching closely our back line, hence why have not been coping very with width play previously. Halls and McCombe are in there aswell. I don't like pulling players but the back has been terrible this season. Although of late we have been tighter. I will stand by LRT being a weak link. Seen enough to know that.

Too true. How many said Sean McConville was crap. He just picked up an award for NW League 2 player of the year.

I don’t think signing Myles was any sort of panic buy and I don’t think it’s for the long term, Astles was a doubt and it must have been looking like we wouldn’t have a fit centre half for the Bromley game. It was purely backup and if he gets a chance of a game and does well it’s a big bonus.

We needed another CB, if he’s cheap & able to tackle & win headers then he’ll do for me.

LRT still isn't weak link when compared to those 2 frauds tbf Would agree, LRT isn't a good player as such, but he's not the weak link. The problem is McCombe came in with a tonne of experience and hasn't performed, same with Halls. Halls in his defence played well in the last two league games he played. I still think LRT provides us with a touch of pace a full back, but when our back 4 changes every game, it's really hard to slate one individual rather than the collective team. More alarmingly, why is Peterkayssock going through threads from November to try and prove a point? and failing to do so.

I'm counting down the days until Chester will be an LRT, McCombe and Halls free zone. Shocking signings by mad Jon. I'll never forgive LRT for Boxing Day. The only challenge he makes all season! But hopefully he enjoyed his New Year's Eve party.
