I was surprised about Sterry, but fair enough. He needs to have his own team. Could be an exciting January.
Looks like a complete rejig of the defence then. Fair enough, it was needed.
A few brutes in midfield and a striker would be nice too!

I would have kept Sterry but maybe his club want something else for him
thank the Lord!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Sterry was good, but i'd back Slade to get someone better and I'm really excited about this window now

Slades not scared to make a decision.
They were not his loans and they have hardly improved us.
Only McCann did.
Sterry and page no better than Phillips stokes Haynes and DKE.
I get the page loan originally due to stokes injury but not needed now.
Also Willis and Reilly can cover RB so Sterry is not needed either.
Hear 4 loans are coming Slade types

Bit of a worry for me. To lose 5 players just like that could prove disruptive.
Slade I think has enough on his plate trying to bring signings in without having to replace loans.
Was really hoping Sterry would have been extended for the season and Page for another month until Stokes was back.

New year, new team. Slade anyway seems to know what he wants and his decisions so far have been good.
I agree with Earlsdon It is about time this club recruited some brutish Div 3 type players who won't be bullied.
In fact City have tended to have a smaller slighter team for some years, that doesn't work, especially in the winter months on heavy pitches.

Not too concerned. Three came in yesterday without it affecting the team. We don't have a game for another week, so plenty of time for them to settle in.
Agree - three in seamlessly - it was only the bringing on of Rueben when i thought the game was up - if Slades extras do the same as the three we are in good company
None of them have deals beyond mid Jan, so unless we hear a loan extension announcement soon they're gone.
Yeah, I agree. Don't mean all 5 to stay, but that to lose all 5 in one go.
It would ONLY be Sterry and Page I would keep.
Cool. Been a bit out of touch last few days.
Only one I can see Confirmed is Agyei on club site.
Not seen or heard that Sterry confirmed yet. I had understood he was here until Jan 17th
Nothing on the Offal other than Agyei.
My brother was at Ryton this morning and no talk of Sterry having left.

I guess another 4 loans to come in and maybe if Harries and Stevenson go the. 2-3 cheap perm signings on frees or little cash.
I really don't think he was. I think he is a good player at this but I also think they are both good at this level as well. Especially DKE for his tenaciousness and desire
Disrupt a team that has just had a new manager and seen an immediate improvement I would say.
phillips was dog shite. i am better than him
dke is fast but too small imo. bit like jordan clarke. see ball bouncing cause him all sorts of problems
surely use Willis (if he stays ) at rb get a bit of confidence from Clarke inside him, likewise Turnbull, good to have an old head in the centre. He looked the part yesterday and was bossing the game, tbh we looked compact and solid whish hasn't happened for a while.
Only disappointing one is Sterry. Thought he'd come on massively. But if we get someone more experienced in his place I'll be happy.
Won't be so happy if Slade shifts Willis out right though; he just doesn't suit that position for me!

Get rid of them all bar Stevenson, Sordell* and Willis.
We are bottom for a reason, and it's not all down to whistles.
*now hyperthetical but I'd have kept him, potentially a decent pairing with Beavon.
