Jake Young

Why was he being played injured? Flynn said he had an ankle injury?

 

Swindon don't have any players, if you're vaguely fit, you play. Haven't been able to fill a bench lately, think today's had 2 or 3 from the academy filling the bench today.

GA confirmed he has been recalled and will join training this week.

 

and play. So it doesn’t look like we are selling him thankfully.

 

Don't know the rule and can't be bothered looking it up tonight, but I'm uncertain if NL clubs can buy him even if he's played for 2 clubs? Not sure if say an SPL team counts either? But yes, likely to stay and play the season out here.

 

I think I heard on the Radio that GA has told him he will play. So I am making an assumption that we will play him if he is fit and ready to go.

 

National League clubs I think would be able to as they don't count under the FIFA system like how they don't have the same transfer windows and they can do short term loans. Scottish clubs wouldn't be able to buy him as they are an August - May winter league. The only clubs who would be able to join are those that play a summer league e.g. League of Ireland or MLS

 

Where ? Alongside Cook instead of Smith is his only option, he’s not a box to box midfield player and we play with wing backs. Just behind Cook it is!

 

Could he play the Walker role? Just behind the front 2?

 

Kemp recalled too. Swindon have released his news first with a video message to the fans. Expect Youngs to be tonight too or tomorrow since its common knowledge he's back here probably on Weds for training.

 

Young slots straight back into the side at the expense of Smith, and scores the winner at Swindon at the end of the month. Now that would be poetic

 

GA said that the recall was for young to come back in and try and get into the team. He then said about recent goals we've been scoring.

Wouldn't expect him to come back and walk straight back into.the team from comments GA made today.

 

He will have a point to prove to himself and to the fans also. I have a good feeling he can help us out tremendously the second part of this season. I mean we need some new blood from somewhere.

 

Walker was playing deeper as part of a midfield 3 so I can't see Young playing there. Likelihood is he will be on the bench against Crawley probably in place of Derbyshire and come on to replace Smith in the 60-70th minute then that's his chance to get a start as I don't think Smith deserves to be dropped.

 

Probably not. However, I think he was trying to convey he is not being sold and will be part of the squad.

 

I'd play him for Smith anyway. Take away his pizza cup goals and his record is 4 goals in 28 appearances.

 

No, because Walker doesn't play that role either anymore.

 

Doesn’t have the stamina probably. Remember the fall out with MH was I believe his reluctance to track back to help the full back?

He certainly didn’t play as a 10 for Swindon . Usually up front with Austin. Kemp was the 10.

 

Hopefully he can be integrated back into the team and useful in the final half of the season. Personally I’m not convinced it’ll work as well as some on here think, no chance would he be on the goals he is on in this squad and also he seems out of form atm. I’m not sure it’s as easy as him just taking Smith’s place and we’ll suddenly see an upturn in form. Still we do need an extra forward arms Derbyshire is useless, so let’s see how it goes. It wouldn’t surprise me if he got off to a flyer then didn’t do anything from February onwards.
