Loan Window

Loan window closes tomorrow night. I wouldn't be surprised to see  a couple of departures and maybe one or two coming in?

I cannot imagine Paddy, Biggie Bignot and Hannah are happy not playing much. Maybe another winger to put pressure on Mackreth?

Hannah can still play a part in the rest of the season - looked lively last night for the short time he was on - still gets caught offside of course.

The other two are mere back up squad players now, I think, and could move out on loan?

Parslow and Magnay, if kept fit, are the two utility players who can fill gaps. Brown to regain full fitness and controlled midfield aggression.

Pleased to see better passing last night - all it takes is the ball two feet in front to run onto, instead of wild kicks nowhere near players who just have to chase and hope.

Three good points won, but we could so easily be only three behind but for Saturday's bad game.

Away games will stop home fan booing, and we will all be able to hear the brilliant away fans giving it large for the team on the radio coverage.

No rush, fully fit squad plus loanee and new striker in place and window opens again in January.

Was listening to RH and apparently Paddy nearly went out on loan.  U can definitely see him leave in January its a shame really as i like Paddy but never really had a proper run in the team for some reason maybe those that have seen him play more games than myself can give a better opinion.  It would interesting to see how he's faired when starting games, coming off the bench and the times we've scored in a match to see if Paddy was part of that.

The balance we had in the centre mid when Paddy was in there was superb. The best we have played this season was when we had the  midfield of Paddy, Clay and Brown with Neilson playing in the free role and Lenny and Pitman upfront. I like Paddy and don't think he has been given a fair crack of the whip.

I agree with you on that one, why do you think Hurst hasn't tried that line-up more recently when we did so well using it earlier in the season? doesn't make any sense

prob because he does not help put with the defence enough,,  hurst would play 10 defenders if he could get away with it ,, how many times does LJL clear corners with headers helping out at the back. 2/3 times in a game

Drogba was (or is again I suppose) one of the best in the Prem at clearing corners.

This, entirely. Can anyone understand why Hurst abandoned the shape and approach of the Gateshead and Alfreton wins?!

I'll be careful what I say, but It's a shame for him and us that Hurst hasn't been fair to him - such a waste of a good player, and a shame for him that the loan move fell through.

I wish I could've seen what a good player McLaughlin is coz in the twenty odd games I've seen him play he's either been anonymous or has weakened the midfield
