...but in fairness Crosby hasn’t got a clue what he is doing and his management style has worn thin on me sadly 

He isn't the only one who hasn't a clue! Do you actually know anything about "your" team?

Jones is a waste of a wage , imo 

Agree with a back three of 

Williams Smudge & Debrah

That's a good shout , VTD

Jones is awful, get rid and Debrah is at Plymouth after Tottenham recalled him isn’t he?

You're right - contractual obligations to play loanees would be dangerous...and a little stupid! For the very reasons you mentioned. But, a gentleman's agreement to be in the squad would be much more palatable, or maybe featuring in perhaps 1 game in 3? Just not written into a contract?

Gore in particular needs to play. Utd seem to be wrecking his career. He should be getting games like the lads at Liverpool do, or should have been out on loan before now. 

Williams did not get game time at Aberdeen. He needs to play as well. 

Both are deteriorating assets if they don't play. It looks like we have gone less is more. Bringing our young players through and reducing loanees. 

I'd expect Liverpool and Utd have at least very strong understanding and more likely a contract requiring they play a fixed number of games. What a game is can be discussed. Sub appearances etc.

He's related to the one we signed from Bristol Rovers, Lacovgoals.

Devine was recalled by Tottenham and is now at Plymouth. Debrah is a Vale player not a loan. Have a coffee!

He's more than a capable squad player Jones for me. He was fantastic when he played in the middle for a while, but his injury record this season & some of last has been awful 

The guy spends more time on the treatment table than on the pitch 🙄

Or wake up and smell the coffee ☕👍

Coming back to Jones. I think he could be a big asset next season if he gets some game time this season and has more luck on the injury front. When I say luck, I partly mean the club show a high level of professionalism in physio, medical and sports science.
