LaticsLee Posted February 14, 2010 Share Posted February 14, 2010 one loan as made the most differene this season is flahavan, is he didnt come in and brill didnt get dropped then brill may have just been the same as he was early doors.

Crusoe Posted February 14, 2010 Share Posted February 14, 2010 While I'm not a massive fan of an endless parade of loan signings, it's harsh on DP to imply he was churning through them and ignoring players already at the club. Many of the loan signings have been completely necessary (well, given transfer windows or the lack of funds to sign permanently): :censored: - cover for Worthington and Purdie's injuries Flahavan - needed to cover Brill's loss of form Sheehan - needed to cover Jacobson and Black's injuries Hills - less necessary (why couldn't we extend Sheehan's loan?), but needed to provide more cover after Sheehan left Heffernan - needed given desperate lack of firepower Goodwin - given he's been a fixture since arriving who is he unfairly keeping out of the team? Timar - possibly less necessary, but needed to shore up the defence (was Hazell suspended at the time?) Price - see Heffernan (and given Heffernan's/Donny's reluctance to extend) I'm sure some of these are more arguable, but who in our reserves was going to fit all of these roles?
