    Give me your thoughts guys with why you think " theres more to this than meets the eye.
    Do we bring Bola up to speed by playing him then we have a deal in place to sign him in the closed season.

    Our present manager is a big concern for me, after reading his comments in the T&A regarding Foulds. I bet that dressing room's a bundle of joy at the moment .

    for me it was the pace at which this happened. Only a day or two before leaving he was first choice LB and had been most of the season. And regarding Bola...we might spend half a season bringing him up to speed and he will probably leave....or he might not be as good as people think he might. Lets face it he has hardly played league football.

    I really hope I am wide of the mark but Hughes is starting to worry me - both from a coaching point of view but also some of his explanations re players.
    Guess we will be a lot wiser come the end of Feb

    Som times journalists can be guilty or misrepresenting what someone says and the context of it, it's the only explanation I can come up with after reading Hughes 'comments' in the T and A regarding Foulds. Because the comments don't make any logical sense and the wording contradicts itself. I'd have preferred it if he had just said he wanted a left back with different attributes, cos it's clear after Foulds has been a starter all season that Hughes doesn't see him as his starting left back. Just be honest with players.

    I think he meant he wanted game time going forward which he couldn’t guarantee

    I'll be honest.I hate replacing our own players with loan players unless the loan player is proven quality and an obvious upgrade. I don't think its the case here. Bola might come good or he might be gash...it's a risk

    That was my worry with regards Hughes comment, Bola has hardly played because of injury yet Matty who has been a steady performer (even better when he had a good partner in front of him down the right flank) is basically discarded, Ridehalgh is still getting back to match day fitness which might be late February before he's ready.

    who getting back from injury and

    That's how I read it. Foulds has never played a whole season and wants to do that this year. Either Foulds saw Ridehalgh coming back from injury and Bola bring brought in as a threat to his chances of doing that and asked for a move, or Hughes told him he couldn't guarantee him game time and suggested he go to Harrogate where he is more likely to start. I guess we will never know for sure, but Hughes is certainly pushing that it was all Foulds idea and he, being the kind and generous soul he is, allowed it to happen.

    Yes, ie Bola but need to see more game time to be sure. I still firmly believe we won’t see MF again, it’s the latter ‘s circumstances, I am not sure about
