Apparently Kamara leaves for Harborough Town.

Have we got players returning from injury and/or loan ? If not the bench is going to look very thin tomorrow.

Is this another cost cutting exercise because money is tight again or are they freeing the playing budget up so Ian can open the cheque book?
Why would he only want two strikers?he wouldn't unless forced to.i hope they haven't moved the goalposts already or we could be in big problems again manager wise

His 1 month loan expired and I don't think he impressed. From his perspective, he would want game time by starting, rather than as a sub. Good luck to him. I would like to see Toll recalled if / when he is fit. Either way, IC will have a forward in before long.

And we no longer have three keepers to make it look good!

Totally agree with JohnH, loans involve 3 parties - the two clubs and the player and I can't see any of those parties would have been happy for the loan to have been extended - the player wasn't getting much playing time and we had a player making up the numbers but not really adding much more.  The fact that he has dropped another step for the rest of the season is probably an indication that IC has got this one right.

When loans are arranged, isn't it usually a condition of the loan that the player gets a certain amount of game time?

How can you guarantee a player gametime,  they come in and fight for a place like all others. They may look GOOD IN THE WARM UP, but not fit the system . This was also a loan arrangement sorted before Mr Culvehouse re entered the building, and it's obvious that he's not what the boss required at this moment in time.
