Parsons & Brooks updates

Trim or thin?

Well, we do have cover in most positions, and players like Francis that are struggling to get game time.

But we are edging towards thin

We signed Parsons, but then got an upgrade in the form of Richardson. For me, there's no point bringing in a loanee if they only sit on the bench or don't even make the squad - Matty Wolfe from Barnsley being the classic example of a wasted loan last season.

Talking of loanees, Zak Brunt has had a few weeks to bed in with the team - now he really needs to deliver.

I agree re loan players. It's so nice to have a smaller squad for many reasons. Just wish we had a couple of youth team players pushing for the squad

Yeah Brunt needs to show that he adds something to the team. Does anyone know how long we have him for?

Tend to agree.
Perhaps the recruitment guys have got themselves a bit muddled. Zac Brunt would be on the 'Radar' for sure....but that's as a pick-up in case he's ever released by Sheff Utd. While's he's with them, he's their prospect and there's not much point taking a project like that on loan in the middle of the season, when all acquisitions need to be about helping the team immediately.

It makes sense as insurance in case we lost a creative player in the EFL window, but that's shut now.
Vincent seemed to be at the heart of a great team spirit, and seems a really positive lad to have around. No issue with him having competition but I don't think he should be dropped as quickly as he was on Saturday.
