They certainly would be, this isn’t the cup, just like anyone who might be suspended for the re-arranged game won’t be able to play. Anyone recalled from loan or signed this month would be available for selection.
-
Obviously have no idea but it might be worth pointing out to them we have been playing with 7, 8 or 9 injured for some while, so seeing as tomorrow was probably our least likely game of late that we would get anything, it makes much less sense to fake a postponement then than say the Luton match..
-
Worrying but absolutely right that safety should come first. We won’t play a league game for a fortnight now, which can only be a good thing. Time to get as many well as possible after this, some time to sort out the position of those on loan & get the “usual suspects” (Vyner, Hunt, Nagy, Martin & the like) some well deserved rest.
-
Superficially that’s possibly true, but firstly look at Joe Morrell’s career. We sent him on loan to Margate, he couldn’t get a game there & they sent him back. LJ then had to beg his Dad to take him on loan at Cheltenham & he only got his first start there because someone pulled out injured prior to the kickoff, he then played for Lincoln. Morton is considered more of a first team prospect at present than those who are regulars on the bench, Pearson, Zac Smith or Towler, how do I know that? Because he was the one sent on loan to a league club. We aren’t expecting a

Top post. It was a truly dreadful year & in the scheme of things the football really wasn’t that important, even if many of us obsess over it..
-
The transfer window doesn’t open again until January 2nd so maybe that is what he meant? But agree, it appears a very odd statement. If we inserted a recall clause they can come back, if we didn’t (unless the other club chooses to let them return), we can’t. Holden & Tinnion will know the details here, all that needs to be decided then is which ones we recall. We had 9 out on loan at the end of December, personally I cannot see a value in recalling all of them, but certainly we could do with at least 4 (probably 5) coming back. Will be interesting to see if any of those

The transfer window for recalls doesn’t open until tomorrow but I would be amazed if we haven’t made decisions in the majority of cases & told the clubs informally, after all, unlike a transfer, these are our players. Hull media are reporting they expect Adelakun to be recalled, for instance. With Paterson (& I hesitate to be too optimistic, for obvious reasons) it seems we feel it isn’t a surgery issue, so are hopeful he’ll be back before many of the others, we certainly badly miss him.
-
Nope, signed a 4 year deal in late 2019/ early 2020..
-
You can certainly make a case for Adelakun as well, he hasn’t done too much in his very limited opportunities for us but had played over 100 times for Scunthorpe when we shelled out £600k for him (I know, I know), he has since had loan spells at Rotherham, who got promoted & at Hull, who are 3rd. He is 24 now, so no kid & is a big old unit for a wide player. For all the fantasy land stuff about a collection of 18 year olds facing the likes of Brentford & Norwich, he is a much more realistic option.
-
Has Pulis mentioned the work he does for charity yet? ***.
-
Mixed bag, Morton is cup tied, Pring is, so are Cundy & Janneh but Owura Edwards, Adelakun, Jonny Smith & obviously Palmer, aren’t.
-
Yes, he is left footed, so would be a far more logical fit than asking Massengo to play out of position, as Holden did at Luton. Other option will be to recall Pring, play him at LB & play Rowe in the position he played virtually every game whilst at Doncaster..
-
Indeed he does, had a spell at Forest Green last season too. This strikes me as lot to do with Holloway leaving, rather than these 2 being the first in line to be recalled. Would expect Pring & Palmer or Adelakun back shortly as well.
-
Would expect that means probably 4 will be coming back from loans, Pring, Jonny Smith, Palmer or Adelakun & Morton. No indication when Paterson is back, which might have an impact.
-
No surprise, but we agree & for all LJ’s faults, one of those 2 you named (& arguably both) was definitely largely down to him. Prior to his latest injury you probably could have included Dasilva as someone we could reasonably expect to sell on at a profit, but this shin business has happened twice with him now & so a sensible club won’t dive in & buy him until he has proved himself with a long unbroken run of games. Mawson has the pedigree, true & maybe the fact that we ended Webster’s reputation as a sick note made us think we could do so again? I know you disag
