Can’t you put in a recall clause?

Thomson, Hepburn, Robertson and Lloyd will go out on loan. Not sure I’d want to lose anyone else as it’s a long season and everyone will play their part.

Good performance. Fowler was excellent and it’s good to see him developing. Still some silly mistakes at times, and we rode our luck for a while. We’re creating more and starting to look more assured and solid. Apart from a terrible pass, Steven played well and Cotterell looked good when he came on. Still feel McAleer is the weak link at times and his poor pass led to the goal. Feels like things are starting to click.

Yes, might be that Gullan moves over to the left?

Get the feeling the squad essentially looks like this now: Steward (Sinclair) Todd (Smith) Mitchell (Bozo) Diabate (Boyes) Alic (Foulds) Holt (Tait) McAleer (Cotterill) Stanton (Chalmers) Gullan (Campbell) Paton/Steven (Fotheringham) Schmidt (Fowler/Paton) Others: Finlayson - I wonder if he's just general cover for centre back, right back, right midfield positions, just in case Alvarez - not sure where he fits in Lloyd - to go out on loan? Hepburn, Thomson, Robertson - loans?

Surely some must be on their way out? Boyes and a few of the youngsters out on loan? Lloyd to a championship club on loan? Seems difficult to find space for Finlayson and Chalmers, but they've only just been signed

Know nothing about him, but looks like he might be competition for McAlear. Seems a similar physical profile. Good age and experience. Welsh u-21 international. It’s good to see Simo building a squad with some younger players to challenge the first team.

We deserved a win, but it was vital we got something. Playing well, but not getting the breaks at times. Still sometimes jittery at the back. Not convinced by McAlear yet this season. Good to see Steven playing well. Fowler showing what he can offer given the chance.

Heard a rumour of Lewis Fiorini on loan

I like Steven. He offers something different. It’s Chalmers who I think is a big disappointment

I think Middleton could be a decent signing. Would it mean Steven in on his way out?

I’d rather this than them being fired up and recognising that the league is their main focus, if they’d gone out

Best possible result for us. They’ll be tired, physically and emotionally, and feel like they’ve made it so nothing to prove.

I think he’s a natural striker with some height, who is seen as first choice with Fowler challenging him for the position. Seems like a good prospect. Had a scoring rate of a goal every other game for Mainz junior teams, then a goal in 3 for Mainz B, who were about English League 2 level in the German pyramid. Transferred to Dusseldorf and then Essen at about English Championship level but didn’t work out for him. Has played a decent number of games and scored regularly for someone so youmg.
