This is the way deals should be done. Early in the window, not a panicky loan with two hours to go. Well done RS for doing the business. Hopefully at least another three to come. He has actually brought in players in the positions we need them. Who'd have thought, eh?

I wonder what will happen to all our loans now. Personally, not bothered about any of them apart from Page, I would keep him.

The only one I would keep is Sterry, think he is a good footballer.

This is much more like it. Realistic targets and get them lined up for when the window opens. Not scrapping around in the last few days.

Lets just hope the rug doesn't get pulled from under him by selling someone at the last minute.

I'd dearly like to know what the absolutely fuckity-fuck Mowbray was playing at in the summer. He screwed up the recruitment so badly that I'm still finding it genuinely hard to believe there wasn't some mitigating factor. He must be watching Slade and thinking...

It almost seems like double agent work.

He must have had a brain freeze or something. Ridiculous recruitment policy from him.

Wright went back to his own club after the game yesterday. I believe the other loans run until later in the month. Page has expressed a desire to extend

If we are going to sell Stevenson or whoever, I'd rather this also be done in a timely manner rather than being punched in the cock at the end of deadline day like with Maddison.

It just goes to show options are there if you think about it properly rather than the panic approach.

People made out we couldn't afford experience, we have now got an experienced centre half and and an experienced striker. Youngish centre mid but still over 60 games in the Championship.

I'm disappointed we never got to see how he did in a front 2 over an extended period. There's clearly a player in there.

Wouldn't even keep page! Sterry is probably the only loan I'd keep!

Yes, definitely a shame but at least it was on Slades terms. (Bring in a replacement and a loanee in return). Not let sisu sell him to 'balance the books' to never gain a return!

Agree with most of comments above
Would definitely keep Sherry
Still think we need a top goalkeeper who can command the box. Would be next priority for me and sell RCC

Surely it depends which club really drove the deal? He can be given credit for getting Clarke in quickly. But I suspect someone else will be leaving quickly, like Willis.

Not sure what you're all smoking!

We have just lost arguably our best player in the squad, one of the only ones that looked dynamic and dangerous. Young as well and he wasn't a loan.


In return we've got a 32 yr old that has only scored 15 in 102 for Burton and a bang average midfielder on loan.

The other signing, Clarke, has played for 8 clubs in 8 years and hasn't got a game this season!

Regressing as usual.

It's amazing old accounts coming back to force it home.

Sordell could have gone on the summer, we have got two proven league one players and a midfielder with championship experience.

15 in 102 is a proven striker?

And Clarke hasn't played at all in this league for Bradford.

Reilly may be decent but he's only on loan.

A proven player yes.

Didn't Clarke play against us in league one?

Not another old account that hasn't been active coming on to try and be negative is it?

Maybe an idea to see how they play for us first before simply dismissing them out of hand.

We're you also moaning when we heard David McGoldrick was coming here?

Proven to be below average.

BBC article said he hasn't played in the league this season.

Not sure why the age of my account is relevant.

Doubt it. Probably do one again for months until they can be negative.

Fair enough. Beavon was immense today and Reilly put a decent shift in.

I didn't think they would be shit but perhaps not up to scratch. I'm still not convinced that this is a good deal for the club. Personally I rate bigirimana/Stevenson over reilly.

Sordell was just very dynamic and skillful. Beavon seems pretty similar to Tudgay. Although if he keeps these performances up then I'll admit that I was wrong.
