The Journalist Posted June 25, 2020 Report Share Posted June 25, 2020 Sorry if I've missed this, but an under-the-radar rule change from the EFL means players returning from loan earlier than originally planned - Liam Walsh from Coventry, for example - are now eligible to play for the rest of this campaign. Birmingham City have flagged the rule change because they have three players available again - https://bcfc.com/news/articles/2020/Trio-now-available-to-Blues Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kingswoodactor Posted June 25, 2020 Report Share Posted June 25, 2020 We really need extra help in centre mid, with Smith/Massengo/Nagy so up and down with both form and injuries. Walsh and Morrell being added to the squad would be a massive boost. I don't think either of them have been in training for a long while mind, so they'd probably need 2-3 weeks to get up to speed. Rusty indeed! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HomerRed Posted June 25, 2020 Report Share Posted June 25, 2020 Thought it was a bit odd they couldn't play, as it denied them the opportunity to develop as players. Not sure if the tombola is big enough, but hopefully Walsh and Morrell will get some chances with a nod towards next season if nothing else.

Lrrr Posted June 25, 2020 Report Share Posted June 25, 2020 The question would be when is the last time they did any significant form of training? Our squad had 3 weeks of training to get back to some level to be playing games again, likely to be near impossible for players to go from near nothing to match intensity. We've not seen any of them in training videos. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe even play Korey right back now Pereira is injured. I think he's better than Hunt even at right back. Bring back Taylor Moore 100% because he is proven but the others were sent out on loan for a reason so why think they are going to change the world and pin all our hopes on them. It makes absolutely no sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pride of the west Posted June 25, 2020 Report Share Posted June 25, 2020 Can't see him getting in. Got 4 weeks training to make up. And besides it takes a good 6 weeks to get up to speed with our patterns of play according to the gaffer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrahamC Posted June 25, 2020 Report Share Posted June 25, 2020 Lot of excitement here but probably need to know when any of them last trained first. If you think any of them could simply rock up on Sunday after a week when the temperature has reached 30 degrees & play, you’re mad. Could be options for games later on though, especially if we have drifted out of contention. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeez Posted June 25, 2020 Report Share Posted June 25, 2020 If its at all possible then this is the time to get the young loanees who are considered ones for next season back into the team. We’re safe from relegation and with nothing to really play for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tin Posted June 25, 2020 Report Share Posted June 25, 2020 If this is true, Morrell, Walsh and Moore must all start for me. In Moore and Morrell’s cases, they were both ready to play at this level when they were loaned out. In Walsh’s case, the loan’s made him the best player in League One. My XI (3-4-1-2): Maenpaa; Kalas, Moore, Baker; Hunt, Morrell, Walsh, Dasilva; Palmer; Wells, Afobe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s interesting purely because we don’t have a pattern of play. 6 passes across the back followed by a 60 yard punt to Diedhiou is basically it.

REDOXO Posted June 25, 2020 Report Share Posted June 25, 2020 If this is true and it seems it is, LJ has just got very lucky. Walsh Morell plus about six others all chomping at the bit to play In A god awful midfield. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
