Long!?
Supposed to be back in training this week. Maybe that's why they're fine about him leaving for a month?
Long!?
True, though isn't that the justification used by the PL for B teams in the Football League?
Strongly suspect there is a recall clause so he can be back with us within 24 hours if we really need him. He got run ragged at Cambridge so I can’t imagine KR views him as a serious option for us anyway.Right - if he’s not needed who’s our reserve left back then?

So you move our only proper RB to LB, then have our current problem again on the right.Long!?

So, ending up with neither right or left full back being a recognised player in that position.
Our squad is so top heavy it's unbelievable.
Ah, but all summer we needed more power up front, then miraculously on deadline day, we didn't!
I think that we tried quite hard to get him.Ah, but all summer we needed more power up front, then miraculously on deadline day, we didn't!
Both Woking and Oxford City have been options for loaning out potential first team youth players, why so lower a team in this case. I don't think kr sees elechi as a potential first team player at the moment, after the Cambridge game, but it is good for these players to get valuable game time and be seen playing. It helped the two players who were on loan at Woking previously, who are now permanent there.Strongly suspect there is a recall clause so he can be back with us within 24 hours if we really need him.

I think Thorniley goes their first off, then Long. A lot needs to go wrong before Elechi even gets a sniff. Loan makes sense for all.
I’m sure that the messaging we get isn’t always totally straight! Which is fine. If as you say we just missed signing a good player the club will put out a positive message about it. I think Dan and Sam have till Christmas and if neither looks useful someone else will come in.I think that we tried quite hard to get him.
Quite a few on here suggested he wasn't what we needed.
Michael Elechi is going to a side in the same league as Oxford City so I'm not sure why you're questioning a lower level club? Also Woking are 6th in the Conference with a game in hand, so it would be difficult for an 18 and 19 year old to get the games both need to progress.Both Woking and Oxford City have been options for loaning out potential first team youth players, why so lower a team in this case.

I know that your default position is to be negative about every young player that ever comes through the club, but I think that both these moves have been pitched right to get minutes on the pitch and to hopefully allow the players to push on.
I seem to remember that many were actually in favour of getting another striker, but not necessarily Harrison - whose stats are awful. That included me, and (since one swallow doesn't yet make a summer) three goals in the tin pot trophy hasn't immediately changed my mind.I’m sure that the messaging we get isn’t always totally straight!

Edit - plenty here were against bringing another striker in , preferring to give Dan a chance
No way will Winnall get an extra year unless a miracle occurs and his form/fitnessgoes back to how he was 5 seasons ago !@So next summer if my memory is correct winnall is out of contract but we have a year’s option on him and agyei is out of contract but according to KR he wants to give him a new contract so realistically we could still have the same three we got this season next season unless of course we don’t trigger winnall extra year and agyei doesn’t get a new deal
I wouldn’t rule it out with KR in charge remember he was the best you can get at league one levelNo way will Winnall get an extra year unless a miracle occurs and his form/fitnessgoes back to how he was 5 seasons ago !@
If I was Dan Agyei and I was offered anything similar to a new contract from us by another club, I’d be off. He needs to play first team football at his age.So next summer if my memory is correct winnall is out of contract but we have a year’s option on him and agyei is out of contract but according to KR he wants to give him a new contract so realistically we could still have the same three we got this season next season unless of course we don’t trigger winnall extra year and agyei doesn’t get a new deal
I think you know as well as I do that the new contract talk is about being able to say that he was the one who walked.If I was Dan Agyei and I was offered anything similar to a new contract from us by another club, I’d be off. He needs to play first team football at his age.
Only Lofthouse is permanent there.Both Woking and Oxford City have been options for loaning out potential first team youth players, why so lower a team in this case.

We all thought the same about Hall then KR gave him extra yearsNo way will Winnall get an extra year unless a miracle occurs and his form/fitnessgoes back to how he was 5 seasons ago !@
