Dave Syers and Hawkridge will be very good additions for a League Two side, David Mirfin too for that matter.

Even if we go in with that bare 16 I wouldn't touch a loan player just yet.  Especially as we don't know how long Marshall is out yet and how bad Pittman's 'knock' is.  You can still make a bloody good starting eleven and have a strong bench with that 16/17.

Maybe the one you didn't mention as article says Syers had injury problems, so maybe McAllister most likely given Brown injury problems? then again, is the main issue with cover at full back?

I'd be surprised if he brings another central midfielder in yet. I suspect he'll be looking for someone who can play up front and/or wide - with Marshall and JPP out and Bogle not match fit it's attacking areas that need looking at.

Venney and Clifton I'm guessing?  Not sure Hurst would have given either as much pre-season time if he didn't see as viable options/back up to Clay and Disley.  By all accounts Brown's knee is knackered and Hurst has known as much for a while, so I would have expected him to have brought someone else in by now if that was the plan.  

Not sure full-back is a problem.  Both Tait and East can cover each side plus Toto can go to right-back if one of the two natural full-backs is unavailable.  From what Hurst is saying, I don't think Robertson is that far off either.  

Personally I'm really reluctant for us to bring in loan players just for the odd game or two.

Very sweeping statement, by who's account ? what information do you have to back it up ?

Isn't it an ankle injury?
