I'm sure they could do all that at their own club re the first part of your paragraph.
Twelve games out of a possible twenty is not a bad return for a player out on loan getting experience.
Probably twelve more than he would have got at Brighton

I liked Rob Mathews , I don't know what happened to him after his spell with us , did he retire through injury ?
I had a soft spot for Bob Catlin and really hoped he would make it in the English game , I think he returned back home to Australia though and was given little chance to prove himself in the first team if my memory serves me right.
Declan Edge
He was indeed. Nippy and tricky winger but had a bust up with the powers that be at Notts as he realised he'd moved thousands of miles to be in a hoofball team. If I remember rightly he threatened to leave and Notts got a 12 month transfer ban slapped on him or something?

Blimey I remember Declan Edge as a decent player, don't know if I would like him as a neighbour as he seems a bit militant.
His attitude has probably held him back in some ways. Men at the top, in general, prefer an easy life and I can't see them wanting the confrontational attitude of Edge.
I agree with Bohinen. Lloyd Richards had so much talent but apparently couldn't get out of bed to make training! What a waste. Eddie Snook passed away a few years back. I will throw Paul Manns, Chris Dykes (England youth international) and Tony Daws all 1980's into the mix. Declan Edge was a lightweight as I remember.
