Suggests to me that Hill is trying to get through to January with our players rather than those on loan. Quickest way to get players in January is to send back the loan players he doesn’t rate and get 5 new ones in if the rules allow it.
Let’s hope the rules and current deals allow him to send this lot back and that Hill has good contacts and he alone chooses the loan players.
Another option would be to get the most out of the loanees whilst they’re here. It’s a matter of opinion of course, but I think a couple of the loanees have shown enough to have played some part yesterday. Our top goalscorer (excl. pens) surely worth a go if we’re trying to win the game.
