    I think we'll play 433, with Devitt right, Palmer central (probably deeper) and Cooke left. Scannell, Vaughan and Donaldson up front.

    Now think with our signings we will got 4-5-1, with it becoming 4-3-3 when we attack.

    Midfield of Palmer and Cooke. With Devitt in front.
    Scannell on the right and Donaldson left but more focused on joining Vaughan up top.

    Then wood/Longridge as a more attacking LB

    Six players (Donaldson, Henley, Longridge, Palmer, Richards-Everton & Vaughan) made their debuts against Cambridge United, gaining numbers 1276-1281.

    Edit: I think the Preston match needs to be added in. Bear with me, while I have a look.
    Edit 2: I think French & Hornby are numbers 1282 & 1283, so the next debut (Cooke?) will be 1284.

    I have to have a little smile if we'd had a midfield three of Devitt, Cooke and Palmer back in Rahics day there would be melt down, "our midfield all f*****g loans" :).

    Good signing this. We will be an attacking force this season. I have us down to score 80 plus goals if we can keep all fit for the majority. With another striker to come in too.

    But it's mainly because of Rahic that we're in the position of having to rely on loans. If we could have offloaded more of the dross that Edin brought in then I'm sure we'd have had all three here on permanent contracts rather than loans.

    With these two they are effectively signings as the club wanted both of them out as opposed to players regaining fitness or youth players out to prove themselves. I expect at Christmas they will become permanent

    As long as there good enough Broncs.
    Wasn't too long ago when we had three loans in the side - Burke, Evans & Cullen.
    All about the quality

    Good signing, happy with that. Should provide us with the goals and assists which we don't have currently in midfield and send akpan and Anderson further down the pecking order.

    Really pleased with this signing, going by his record at Carlisle recently in this league. I have a feeling he will do really well here

    I know exactly where you are coming from but these are the right type of loans for me.

    We have a good chance of signing all 3 come next summer

    Compared to before where we were training up other clubs youngsters and getting players who we had no chance of getting in at the end of the season

    So true and probably why there has been the consistent message it will take 2 to 3 transfer windows to truly get back to where we want to be

    Yes Burke, Cullen & Evans were quality and played well in the system they were brought in to play, let's hope the same can be said with regards Palmer, Devitt & Cooke.
    I agree with @Damo@Damo if they perform I think they could come onboard as perminant signings and an early Christmas box.

    I honestly think that's what we're going for. With those three in midfield we should a) keep the ball a lot of the time, b) create lots of chances for the forwards and c) score goals from midfield.
    Yes, we'd look defensively light in midfield but few teams would outscore us and our defence has already shown it can keep clean sheets with very little protection from midfield.

    Looks like I will have to force myself into the Yorkshire Pride just over the road for a couple of hours and get the scores on Sky, what I have to do for Bradford City never mind ;), thanks for the offer @FrenchBantam@FrenchBantam isn't it Budapest thats expensive, or am I getting mixed up with Prague, anyway Benidorm will be much cheaper :p.
