Back for the playoffs?

 

[Jeff]

Am assist for Kristiansen on his Bologna debut. They're 1-1 Cagliari with an hour gone.

 

[Miles Away]

Saw Thomas started today.

 

[Elon Bust]

Saw Thomas started today.

He was even in the Fantasy Premier League team of the week for a bit. He's been replaced by another ex-player now, Castagne.

 

[Miles Away]

Thought I would try and update this:

Soumare - played 30 minutes in 2 matches for Sevilla. They play Barcelona today.

Kristiansen - appears to be starting regularly for Bologna

Thomas - played the full 90 in the last two, including the 8-0 battering by Newcastle

Booth - came off the bench for his debut. 1 appearance so far

Okopu- started first four matches with a goal and assist. Missed the last 4 through injury.

Brunt - appears to have settled in really well at Mansfield. Started the last 6 matches and is yet to be on the losing side

Brunt, being a left footed defender, perhaps could step up into Doyle’s role somewhere down the line?

I doubt it. I'd be surprised if we're not already looking at a loan player to fill that position in January.

We could always bring back one of our three left footed defenders we’ve shipped out on loan.

We could always bring back one of our three left footed defenders we’ve shipped out on loan.

The ones who went out for the whole season?
Sometimes there's a clause allowing the loan to be cut short in January, it's more common when loaning to lower division teams.

But I wouldn't have any of the players we've loaned out ahead of what we've already got.

We’d be pretty stupid if we didn’t include a clause to cut it short in January seeing as Enzo doesn’t seem to rate the backups as they’re not left footed.

The teams they went to might not have taken them if there was the chance it was just until January. We needed to get rid of players.

And we can probably sign someone in January who is better than the ones we sent out on loan.

Impossible, WOTS is that we're broke.

 

[Jeff]

We'll be OK by then, Daka is going to Brentford and Ndidi is going to Barcelona.

At least Luke knows we’ve never shied away from defensive players who have been involved in massive hammerings, so he still has a future here alongside Vesty.

 

[fox58]

Kristiansen out for 3 weeks with a thigh injury

Seagrave to blame.

 

[FOX Franks]

We'll be OK by then, Daka is going to Brentford and Ndidi is going to Barcelona.

Based on the last few weeks Ndidi has turned into Iniesta. Who knew he could do the assist thing too?

 

[Brown Nose]

Meanwhile, yesterday Soumare appeared to be smashing it against Real Madrid.

 

[Jeff]

Brunt has given Mansfield the lead at Harrogate. I think that's his first goal in proper football.
