    Agree he was better than most of those on the pitch and in a reasonable team he would have been adequate, you are correct that his form really deteriorated after that good run in December, turned into the continuing nightmare of January. He was clearly at fault at Barnsley.

    Good move all around this. Hornby not getting a look in here due to the form of O'Donnell. Bowyer must trust GSK as back up.
    Hornby definetely needs first team action now at his age.

    Wouldnt be surprised to see Hornby leave permanently in January actually

    Od Has stepped up two gears so far Possible with the help of the new keeper coach. I am sure Hornby was brought in to play if Od had carried on the way he finished last season

    Fully agree with this, everyone wins with this deal with the only minor risk being if O'Donnell gets sent off or injured during a match then GSK will have to play the rest of the match. Hornby is in a similar McLaughlin in that he's getting towards his mid 20's with very little regular minutes behind him which is what all players especially goalkeepers need to develop. With this move he'll get 3 months of football week in week out and sounds like he'll be quite busy. Also should hopefully make GSK step it up even more knowing he could be called up at any moment and also get to be in and around the squad on a matchday where even if he isn't playing will learn bits from the more experienced players.
    Could also be looking ahead to next year and if we weren't to be promoted then we might let O'Donnell go to free some wages and go with Horny and GSK as the 2 keepers next year.

    Good. With this stupid rule the keeper should be the homegrown or a top talent both Devine isn't.

    Devine shouldn't be anywhere near the first 11 if this squad is serious.

    Hornby debuted for Fylde this evening, conceding three as they lost 3-1 to second bottom Chesterfield.

    I think if he wanted some action, he's going to get it for sure.

    Didn’t someone on here suggest exactly this earlier this season? Sure I read it somewhere, although I may have mixed it up with Facebook

    The net is closing.......... get out while you can with your dignity in tact. There's plenty of room on the naughty step.
