Stranded 2/4 loans going back early is a pretty damning indictment of our recruitment in the summer.
Not really a surprise given a new manager will have new ideas and needs to rejig his options. Also 1 of the 2 returned was returned due to injury so i don’t think it’s much of a damning indictment on the recruitment.
Of those recruited only MOM was a complete waste of time, though Jacob never looked brilliant he got injured before being able to benefit from the new management team which has already seemed to improve both WiFi and Burns. Marriott and both Williams’ have been excellent so far, Ritchie & O’Connor are pretty decent, Doyle is starting to show something useful, Kyerewaa is getting better too. Lane has been a player who generally puts a decent shift in but has suffered from being unlucky at key moments and we all know what Rinomhota brings to a party. I’d therefore suggest the recruitment so far has been decent though could have been better as the squad is short of options and they still haven’t really solved the LB issue plus there needs to be a bit of pace at the back, and a good old fashioned Quinn or Morley type around the place would help.
