Bartos Bialkowski and Ryan Yates would be expensive but would keep us in the football league.
Talking of loan players we have Leicester down the road and they must have plenty of players and youngsters in their reserves doing nothing who could do a job for us, likewise we have Derby close by as well and even Forest.
The last two players we had on loan from Forest did well, we were unlucky with Bennett from Derby. It beggars belief that with a premier league club and two championship clubs on our door step we cannot field a competitive side at League Two level. That’s why the likes of Oldham, Rochdale and Bury always survive in the football league because they have a pool of players who have not made it or are trying to make it at bigger clubs in the Manchester area in which to tap into.
We should foster and promote good relationships with Leicester, Derby and Forest as they have an abundance of talent at their disposal.
Definitely. We need to make more of the loan market. Last season, Grant and Yates were the reason we ended up finishing 5th, but this season we've gone for no-hopers like Keston Davies. Look at Mansfield - their loan players are playing key roles in their promotion push. How have we managed to get recruitment so badly wrong?
