Thanks @JRC I hadn't considered things like that but I guess there's lots of variables to consider when loaning out.

I do hope the club can find good clubs for some of the kids though. Over the years we've had some loan spells that have really helped bring players on - Gateshead (Hugill), Torquay (Smith) and Salisbury (Plant) to name three. 

The loaning out actually benefits the club more than the loaning in!

I just don’t see any of our better players leaving now. I know the window is still open but I think they are all aboard the promotion party. Grant, Jones & Ojo to leave I reckon in the next couple of weeks. Have a feeling he quite likes Lowe for his experience & to see games out so think he may stay 

I would be far happier if we announced that Garrity had signed a 2 year extension on his contract 🙂 plus I dont actually mind Lowe staying

Is there still time to ship Deborah out? Bloke hasn’t a clue of how to defend 

We need to bring in a proper right back and left back in my opinion. Switch to a back four. Get the wingers on. Get it out wide and into Stockley and Paton. Stop with this absolutely tripe twatting it up the pitch to no one and constantly giving away possession, meaning we can't get out of our own half for most of the game.

Completely agree, for me love to see us try a basic 4-4-2, we have had 4 years now of 5 or 3 at the back, however people want to call it and let's just try something different.  As you say 4 at the back, 2 wingers in Curtis and the lad from Brighton, 2 up top and think for me Croasdale and Byers in the midfield, harsh but no room for Garrity or Chislett

Probably talking nonsense as Garrity only one to score for us in the league but 3 games and nothing from open play is being created, something has to change and for me it is the negative formation.

I'd take Garrity over Byers, mate 

But I agree with the rest  😁 

Whether DM agrees is another thing 🙈

I think no room for Garrity is bonkers. Crossdale would be the one to leave out in my opinion. Byers and Garrity in the middle, chissy and Curtis out wide with Paton and Stockley up top.

Probably right about Garrity but for me in a 2 he does not work and not sure Byers and Garrity would work together, it would be a waste one of them sitting in front of the back 4.  Whatever formation we play we have to start Paton and Stockley, was shocked when Paton went off when we chasing the game.

Sigo pensando que necesitamos otro jugador que pueda cubrir el lateral izquierdo y el lateral derecho. Parece que estamos abastecidos en todas partes, a menos que suframos una lesión grave. Me gustaría ver a Shorrock, Brazier, etc. Salir y hacerlo bien cedidos a un nivel decente.

My Mrs says that's <ovf censored>

By who? He is garbage. 

Looks like MK Dons are due around  1.5m from Celtic's sale of O'Riley to Brighton

I am going to do a vtid style prediction here...... I am going we will bring in another 2 players this week and up to 4 will leave or go out on loan 

Would say we need a left back if Hart's injury is as serious as it looked. Kyle John is not a left back or left wing back, stick him on the right side in his natural position

Bit worried about our physicality to cope with the rigours of league 2. Too many nice lightweight players and not enough steel in the team. Fine if they have pace but apart from Benicio I don't see any pace and certainly no strength or height in most areas of the team, taking out Heneghan, Hall and Stockley
