    Sent back. Good call from the club. He wasn’t ready for this level sadly. A panic signing from McCall.

    Good news, the lad clearly isn't ready for professional football. Hopefully that means we're close to bringing in a striker.

    Last piece of the jigsaw according to Stu. Actually it was “eh listen Kenny that kid just scored against us”. “Must be good, eh Elliot is he a good lad” “yes boss says Elliot Watt, a good lad “ Signed following week.

    Sadly he wasn’t what we needed and he was taking a place in the reduced squad. Having never seen him play at an actual game, he will rapidly fade from memory. One goal in fourteen appearances, frankly is not good enough and a luxury we cannot afford. Hope he can learn from it and push on. As a club, then at least we seem to be moving forward, hopefully in the right direction.

    Its the right call not sure his wages would be a big saving to the club, the more I see happening under Ryan the more I'm liking the lad.

    To think he was the final piece in the jigsaw under McCall wasn’t ready at all for this level I personally think his replacement will be Lewis knight

    Sparks certainly impressing so far, along with the management team.

    Not messing about trying to get rid of the deadwood and early moves in the window

    No better opportunity will be found than getting game time at Bradford City when Clayton Donaldson was our only fit forward.

    It was a gift of a situation for Samuels.

    Unfortunately he was nowhere near the required level.

    I reckon Samuels will have to drop another level to somewhere like Solihull or Kidderminster

    Painfully out of his depth unfortunately. Glad we’ve been proactive and sent him back. I’ve been highly critical of Sparks but I’ll be the first to admit he’s starting to make a positive impact since sacking McCall, some very good decisions since. Long may it continue!

    At the time many were suggesting it was the formation Stuart was asking him to play, it's pretty obvious T&S realise he was not up to mens football at the moment.

    Another reflection of our scouting and recruitment performance. Just not cut out for League 2 football, at least - not yet.

    I'd have to assume we're confident of bringing at least 1 in. Free's up a loan slot too. That means we have just Hossanah and Stevens on loan, so room for 3 more....?

    So another out of the door.
    Good Luck to the lad.
    Unfortunately he was unable to take his chance at our club,but he's still young enough to forge a career elsewhere.
    Now the work really does start with striker additions paramount.
    We will get the latest news on our recruitment search on Radio Leeds tonight 18:00.Bradford City special with guests Ryan Sparks and new signing Niall Canavan.

    He spent time at Kidderminster last season. Six games. I'll let you guess how many goals....

    Good move this. Good luck to the lad but in absolutely no way is he good enough for L2 football. Nor is he ever likely to be given what I saw..

    Goodbye, Jigsaw.

    we've ditched the 6 piece Peppa Pig jigsaw which the kids have chewed on so the pieces don't fit and have purchased an adult jigsaw
