So with these two now fit for several weeks but not match fit, the question for me is why hasn't Hurst made them available for short term loans.

If he'd done that a month ago these two would be back ready to slot straight in (or would have broken down again potentially but would that be any different to the lack of minutes they get anway).

With no reserve games I really can't understand the thinking here.

I’m struggling to see why Hurst kept Scannell on if he’s not prepared to play him.

Apart from coming on as substitute last night and against Kiddy in the cup.

I don't get why the lack of reserves league is the main excuse here. Arrange a game against Grimsby Borough, Barton, Brigg, Cleethorpes, loads of teams locally that would play us surely...supplement the lineup with youth players if needs be. Do whatever you can to get some minutes into the Grant, Wright and Scannell. If they aren't capable of playing they need to have their contracts terminated. We've been crying out for other options out wide and for a proper #9 all season and we've got three senior players all on decent wages I'd imagine that have amassed a total of 119 minutes in the league (107 of them being Wright's) between the them. We're dropping so many points in close matches some of which would almost certainly be avoided with other attacking options. We've lost 5 games by single goal margins and drawn 3. Carrying all three of these players could well end up costing us a playoff spot. For me, Wright has at least delivered in the time he's come on the pitch so keep him and bin the other two off.

The new owners keep talking about wanting to build a squad for the future and the desire to focus on permanent signings. That works on ins and outs surely? We should be looking at anyone we definitely don't want in next year's squad and getting those replaced in this window.

I'll reiterate, 12 minutes of football in the league from Scannell and Grant combined. Two of our top earners I'd imagine.

Grant was definitely on the pitch last night, but not sure his 15 minute cameo constitutes having “played”. Genuine question, did he touch the ball or even get within 5 yards of it?

Watching the reserves last week albeit against a very young opposition thought Scannell looked fitter than Grant was surprised to see him involved last night.

Both have been a waste of wages and along with Rose we've certainly not had value for money.. recruitment is key.

Brilliant, we are losing our loan players and now 'fans' decide to slag off the players that remain! We have no idea why they are not getting the chances to play, that is down to PH. Lets leave him to it, he knows why and I am sure he has his reasons.
