Would have liked to keep Edwards, dont know if Hurst wanted him to stay but I really can't think of any real flair/luxury players Hurst has ever kept. All he wants are midfielders that defend first and occasionally approach the attacking end of the field. All part of the Hurst functional football theory.

Preston and Edwards will be decent players and I would be happy if they were ours, back up to the first team and we were able to send them out on loan ourselves to develop. But as Ginny said, for right now we need players that can make an impact. I don't necessarily think they need to be seasoned pros, remember how good Townsend was at a similar age to Preston? Even Glennon. He still hasn't gone out on loan this season and hasn't played for Burnley.

Also, just to add, Forest can recall Preston from tomorrow.

Edward's need to develop, no good in a relegation scrap, doesnt track, cant tackle and wastes the ball in possession 99% of the time. Hope he comes on and develops his game or finds a team that can afford a luxury player for him to flourish as he definately has some attributes but not right for us right now.
Morton.....right from first viewing didnt look capable at all. No loss there.

See I got a few red crosses already for not blowing smoke up Hursts bottom.    Will he save us from relegation? he is a good bet.  Move us up the leagues? who knows we will find out in the next couple of years.
Everyone is assuming the new people will throw money at it, they might just be as tight as Fenty on the playing side, but I have more confidence in Hurst finding some good experienced bargains than Holloway did.

Would have kept Edwards. Thought he worked hard and bought us a few free kicks, corners and attacked the box. Yes, he made bad passes but suffered from dire midfield support and a massive loss of form and confidence from Preston. Despite being small and targetted for some disgusting fouls, he showed more spirit than some with long contracts. I wonder if Bristol said it's both or neither?

Alternatively, perhaps Hurst has someone lined up anyway.

Quoted from davmariner


Yes agree. Couldn’t really imagine Edwards rolling his sleeves up and grafting to keep us up. He had something tricky about him but no big loss IMHO.


That’s harsh on Edwards. If he had a fault is was what didn’t go on between his ears than his heart.


Through the door there came familiar laughter,
I saw your face and heard you call my name.
Oh my friend we're older but no wiser,
For in our hearts the dreams are still the same.

Edwards looks to have a lot of talent, but a lot to learn, Morton probable one of the piggyback players that Holloway was forced to have by agents...Agents are a parasite clinging to football...

Felt a bit for the young lads sent on loan here.. bet they wondered wtf was going on the team was a mess under Runaway wouldn't be surprised if they had all asked to go back!

Will be glad to see some organisation and some astute signings next couple weeks.
