I think we have dropped the ball (pun intended) this time in the loans we have brought in. Two defensive loan players both 21 years old one from Sheff Wed and one from Sunderland to fill in for Cameron and Slocombe. Both of them have next to no league appearances between them and three of those have been in the games they have played for us.

The National League is nothing like U23's football. It's tough, physical and extremely competitive.

It was the same last season when we brought in loan players like Regan Griffiths when Doyle was injured. Then we had Tylor Golden, the invisible Matty Wolfe. None really were anything of note and just seemed like sticking plasters.

I've got no objections with us bringing in young players on loan but they need to have something about them and hold their own and make us notice and remember them for their performances like Grealish and McGregor, and more recently Ryan Yates. Baring in mind those t.eenagers played for us a higher level as well.

Last season the experienced loanees we brought in were Ellis, Effiong and Steele who between them had vast amounts of experience. I think for this current defensive crisis we needed to bring in an experienced keeper at least who could organise and lead the defence until Slocombe returns.
