I don’t see why either of our young FBs should be disappointed. Dave was always going to sign at least one FB and, in signing a youngster on loan, I would suggest that shows there is competition for places - bringing in an experienced player who might expect to play regularly would surely be more of a threat? It also shows Dave must see Offord as a first choice CB (or holding MF).

As regards a recall, I hope we have secured the sort of deal that either doesn’t allow it, or only has a break during the January transfer window. Still, as has been pointed out, we have TJ in reserve.

Good luck to Ramsay - I hope he does impress Saints… but that Walker-Peters doesn’t get a serious injury!
