that's always been my worry about loanees. One or two here and there (or as and when required) are fine and add to the team, but our 'strength in depth' is due to the 8 loan players (two gone) abd how up for it are they? They aren't particularly playing for their careers and would still have chance to impress their own bosses when they get back to their clubs ... meanwhile our own players start to get demoralised when they aren't getting a chance. Charlie Barnett is someone that we all know, Cooky knows and Coley knew, has summat about him. He wasn't quite right so didn't get any game time until Chesterfield ..."go out there son and win your shirt back" he played his best game in a long long time but hasn't featured at all since, not even a sub appearance. Apologies if he's injured. Are Whichelow or Mingoia better than Hatfield or Barnett? Is Schofield that much better than Miller? Are we going to play a striker with pedigree on the left wing (Sampson) or is free scoring Podge going to rotate with two loanees?
Doing a great job so far is Cooky and he knows his squad better than we do ... but I hope the loanee numbers don't come back to bite us ove rthe stretch of the season.
