    We still need players out of the door.

    Can see Scales getting a loan move, Threlkeld going, but we already have 5 out on loan. We obviously won't get rid of anyone we've just signed, so who else is there that doesn't have a role on the bench?

    I could see Songo'o being allowed to leave - not technical enough, IMO.

    No one is suggesting he does get involved other than oneself.

    Kian Scales is one of our few realistic options (apart from Matty Foulds), as the Club developed player that we need to include, if we want to be able to have 18 in our match day squad. I assume he'll also get some game time in the trophy games.

    My point being he's hardly being pushed out of the door. Compare to Diamond who's playing up front by himself, out of position and getting no positive reviews/support. Plus Dion created their equaliser in the last friendly and scored a couple of games before that so has had positive impact on the team.

    Anyway, we'll see. I reckon there's a number of players hanging on and hoping they'll get a chance in the first couple of games before realising they won't and asking to leave. The overlap between season starting and transfer window closing is a month this year and will make more players hold on and try and get in their home squad first.

    If he can't get on at home against Birmingham, it's very hard to see when he does get a game.

    Clearly he's nowhere near starting and is probably bench warming as Jones targets other attackers.

    Fans often want the local boy to do good. But there is nothing that shows that he is yet good enough for that league.

    Especially when it's 0-0 and the deadlock needs breaking.

    He tasted div 2 last season.

    I would have thought he will be thinking he’s better than that.

    Is that why he has made it known he’s keen to return?

    Has he?

    Social media means nothing.

    According to the Scottish papers, Rangers have had enquiries from four L2 clubs to take winger Ross McCausland on loan for the season. He's a 19 year old winger, can play either side but they only named two teams in Rochdale and Doncaster who have contacted them for the loan. Wonder if after Saturday, we are one of the others?

    Luton confirmed the signing of McAtee from Grimsby for £500K then sent him back to Grimsby on loan for the season. Looking at week 1, they didn't play with wingers. Went with a 532 system then moved to a 343 with wingers to chase the win with 20 to go. So he wont start if this is the plan going forward, but even when they bring the wide attackers on, there's Cornick, Freeman, Clark, Adebayo can play there and Mendes Gomes when he is back fit above Pereira.

    Realistically, if he stays at Luton he's seeing lower league cup action, maybe the odd minutes when someones injured at the very most. He cant be happy with that are a career path? Into the final year of his contract with not a lot of football on his CV, probably becoming a free agent in the summer.

    If he’s that unhappy, why can’t he hand in a transfer request? The way I see it, he’s more than happy to fight for his place. Probably on higher wages than we can pay him too.

    If they carry on only using wingers to chase games, there isn't a place to fight for. Think he's hoping they move to an expansive style of play but they are sticking with the same tactic that had success last season. He wont be on much, his only deal there was signed as an U23 developmental contract. Grand a week ball park at very most as aa guess.
