Walker doesn't press?!

Who was the last player we sold for a fee after we loaned them out then? I'm not saying loans are pointless - I just think they're only valuable for a select few players. People on here just lazily throw out 'He needs a loan' as the catch-all solution for any kid they haven't seen play yet, but...

Who's the last player of ours who forced their way out of exile and into our first team thanks to a loan spell?

Few folk on here are going to have to set their alarm a couple of minutes earlier in the shed now

It's largely irrelevant what standard of football he's playing at this point - in all likelihood, the coaching staff have already decided he's not going to make the cut, and an extended audition at Newport County realistically isn't going to change that. Loan him out if it frees up some wages...

This idea that a player is going to go out on loan and magically come back ready for the first team....people say it all the time, but it just doesn't happen very often does it?

That's not really as big a problem as it sounds when you routinely play with one up front. I'm all for beefing up the squad, but when one of your most expensive signings of the last two years has to go out on loan because you can't even fit a fourth striker on the bench, is that a particularly...

Don't really understand why we spent all that money in the summer on a fourth striker if we were just going to farm one out on loan now. Decent chance that Walker never plays for us again, but I'd probably prefer to keep him on the books for the next couple of years than Waghorn.

Presumably a fully fit Reid isn't even as good as an injured Dabo in MR's eyes.

The “forum statement” is even better https://www.skybluestalk.co.uk/threads/forum-statement-on-new-stadium-announcement.120190/

The first few pages of this thread are just adorable. All the excited speculation!

Power move from Robins to start our three best players of the season on the bench! And Wilson, huh?

Presumably MR already has a good idea of how he would get on, and it isn’t great. I know we’re all curious to see what Reid, Tavares etc are like, but unlike the rest of us, MR doesn’t have to give young players a cameo in high-risk situations to get a sense of what they’re about, or whether...

It’s truly horrendous - my expectations were rock bottom and I was still disappointed.

Do you think this new isolation announcement is also just a government smokescreen?

There's an alternative timeline of that 2019/20 season where Jobello doesn't get injured, we continue to play 4-3-3 every week, and we probably don't get promoted. He wasn't even that bad, but three games at Championship level is three more than he probably ever expected to play.

Minimum isolation time lowered to five days as of Monday.

I thought the hyperbole about him on here was bad enough.

I think between not releasing Sarr to Senegal (who supposedly wanted to go) and allegedly "baring fangs" over Emmanuel Dennis and Nigeria, it's clear they don't see any obligation to let players go and are willing to play hardball with these African associations. Yes, there are extenuating...
