“Of course, at the moment we have (players in) that position, if he should come in, then there could be players on loan.”

Does this mean that it will be Brittain and then loans after that? Or is it just maybe slightly imperfect English?

There could be players leaving on loan (in that position) if he comes in, I think. That's how I read it, but I could be wrong.

Think he means if we sign him we would loan out players we already have

Hopefully you are all right, difficult to tell fully without the context of the specific question.

Reading the sentence before that, I think he means we already have players in that position (JRC and Brown) so if Brittain comes in one of those two will go out on loan. 

[roversfan99]

If that was the case, I wonder which of the 2 would be most likely to go out on loan. Both could do with a loan.

So Lenihan, Rothwell, Nyambe, Van Hecke, Khadra etc have had their places in the squad taken by young kids, with lets say 6 new first team signings yet to sign. As I said, ill prepared. If 5 or 6 key players were all injured you wouldn't say that we were in good shape, would you?

Kids? Again these are good young prospects who should be in the first team squad. 

I never those specific players but someone Jake Garrett has take Johnson spot or Buckley taken over Rothwell spot. Hayden Carter taken over the Van Hecke spot. 

We still need 5 or 6 signing and hopefully Callum Brittain is the first one of them. After that one, 1 centre back, 1 or 2 centre midfielder, 1 left attacking player then another striker if Ben Brereton Diaz goes. That's it for me

As recently as May, none of those were deemed good enough to start in a dead-rubber end of season game at Birmingham, against a Brum side that wasn't their first XI either if I remember rightly, and even with none of the loanees or contract rebels involved. Vale came off the bench for 15 mins, and Carter was off on loan so I'll allow him (still deemed not necessary enough to keep around in Jan though). The Bournemouth game before it was a dead rubber too, and none of them were even named on the bench.

What has changed in 2 months that makes you so confident they're good enough now? Especially since for about half of that time they were on holiday.

Change in the dug out being one. I been saying that James Brown, Jack Vale andJake Garrett should be in first team squad since May. Ash Phillips since June.

nothing wrong with brown,jrc is`nt good enough,get him off the wage bill and flog magloire as well

[Butty]

I’d 100% keep Brown as backup and loan JRC out and see if he can rediscover some form because he’s been shocking for a while now

I’d look at bringing another left back in as well, Pickering has been shocking for a while now. Saying that though, Edun has been very impressive in pre season, if we don’t bring another left back in I’d start Edun over Pickering every day of the week. Pickering has to be the slowest left back in the league. 

[patrickvalery]

Agree. Needs a taste of things away from easy street. Looks way too comfortable for my liking. 

JRC I mean.

Here's the problem with letting players leave on a free. We've now had to turn around and go spend £1m out of our extremely limited budget to basically keep the squad as the status quo from last season, a like for like replacement with similar ability.

Pike and JRC I would expect.

I don’t think it’s like for like. I think it’s a considerable upgrade. But there’s opinions for you I guess.

Didn't seem like Edun was so good tonight. But yeah our two fullback areas are weak, unless the likes of Batty are given a chance..

Edun was awful at left back when he covered last season. Pickering has his faults but should be first choice. Performances v Hartlepool and Dundee in friendlies shouldnt make a difference.

Magloire is awful I agree. Both of the other 2 could do with loan spells in an ideal world with us bringing 2 in. Rankin Costello I have severe doubts over, but Brown at a decent age has only played 1 game ever at a reasonable level himself in which IMO he struggled, regular games in League 1 would be ideal. I would personally play Carter at right back assuming we only bring in Brittain and if he is ever unavailable.

Barnsley's manager has more or less confirmed it's down to personal terms with Brittain. Brown wasn't in the match-day squad tonight. Suspect plans are already being made for loaning him out.

He had a knock at the weekend so maybe he still is suffering.

[patrickvalery]

Brown might be limited. But I would say he has drive and that counts for a lot. Especially defending. Would love to see him come good. 

[yankfan]

Good to see a move made. Assuming Diaz is sold we will need an striker. We never replaced Armstrong and as well as Vale has played I’m not so confident he and Gally can shoulder the load. Another mid would be nice but I’d prefer our young players, Wharton, Garret over sone old bloke like Johnson. I think Carter is a good reserve but with Ayala history we need another center back. Just hate to have Carter not playing.

Edun had a few bad games there but so did Pickering, Edun is better on the ball. Any winger with pace will have a field day against HP. In all honesty we definitely need a new left back full stop.

Pretty sure Carter and Wharton will play together on Saturday..And Adam Wharton in front of Trav in midfield will be good to see also.
