Starting to think our covid record will make clubs think twice before loaning us any players in January might belong second half of the season

We are not the only club that has Covid cases.

The way it’s going right now I wouldn’t be surprised if the season was a write off.

Or conversely most of the team has recently had it so is less likely to go down with it again.

Sod the loans. We need to buy.

Two of our rivals are fielding quarter mil forwards. If we are serious about getting out of this division any time soon we need top add to our attacking options.

Don't bring in a kid on loan. Buy a decent player. It will be an investment. .


This is an interesting point that Andrew made on Humberside earlier this week. They have seemed to identify that they would prefer more long term 'fixes' this window. He cited the signing of Maguire-Drew to demonstrate that.

Hopefully see a few more long term additions in January,

I thought that the tone of the Pettit interview was signings as opposed to loans. I have never been a fan of having this many loans , Hurst made a big mistake here in my opinion.
Problem is that we need a mobile centre half,a central midfielder who is actually a better footballer and more creative than the ones we have got as well as another forward. Possibly a winger as well As I have no faith whatsoever in Scannel and  Grant This will be a tough January shopping list but the lack of signings preseason has created this problem. I am hopeful that Hurst will fix this, He will need to as his neck is on the line utm

Loans are very useful, important and necessary at this level. Towler came in under the ideal circumstances for a loan as we were without Pearson and Longe-King. As a result of various factors such as his success here, Covid, injuries at Bristol City and the fact we haven't got a game until 2022, he's been recalled but we were reaching a period of uncertainty with him anyway.

It's about balance, I want us to own a good team with 1 or 2 loans coming in to improve us.

I am hoping that a fully fit Scannell and Grant will strengthen us, but we must add another goalscorer to the squad.


I never think of buying a player at our level as an investment but more of a speculation. You never know if they will settle, repeat their success from their previous or get seriously injured (Liam Hearne springs to mind).

Heard Karl Robinson on talksport this morning and he confirmed that Oxford were initially looking to bring 2 players in and let 5 players leave during January but says this will be revised as they believe with the COVID problems they will need a larger squad to complete the season.

Might be a very difficult month to bring in players from the EFL.
