Bit of an odd one, that leaves us with RW options of Green and Pritchard. Does this mean we have someone coming in? I think we have looked much better with a true winger playing, not putting Pritchard down I really rate him but he hasn't looked too comfortable there.
I hope this is only to get competitive games under his belt because i rate Wagstaff and he does get the odd goal. Green is doing a fine job at the moment and for crossing ability he is a lot better than Waggy, but i'm not comfortable with Pritchard as our back-up winger personally as he is definitley better in CM (no i am not having a pop at Pritchard he is just so much better as CM). Unless Haynes is fit now i find this a strange loan.
Waggy has often reminded me of Varney. Athletic, would run for ever and gave their all. But for all their efforts, their game wasn't to the standard needed and neither did I see enough improvement in their games. Looking back, Solly and Waggy were exciting to watch, Solly has grown immeasurably but Waggy hasn't. I hope Waggy gets some games now and starts to enjoy himself again.

wilson can play there, as can a 'fit' haynes
Agreed, I think when Wiggins returns and Solly goes RB, Wilson will be back up or possibly in front of Green.
I think he has to find his position. He doesn't beat people and so his delivery needs to be better to operate out wide. His attributes are that he knows where the goal is and has a great engine. I have always thought he might have been better being developed as a right back.wing back - given his engine but maybe too late now. Maybe his position is more central but he would need the right partner. It really is a difficult one although he will always have a career in the lower leagues I suppose.
Strange one this, especially if we might start playing 5 across the middle more, certainly need an out and out right winger to challenge green - someone sturdier than Haynes and who can cross better than Wilson (having seen him 20+ times at Stevenage)
Wiggins isn't due back for a while, Haynes is out injured at the moment. I presume Green's injury can't be bad, as we don't have much cover, I guess it's a short term loan with a recall option.
I think it's a bit early to condemn him as a L1 player, without at least giving him a chance in the 1st team. Varney may not have done it for us, but did ok elsewhere (including a spell with Blackpool in the PL)
If I was Sir Chris- I'd have Green, Wilson, Haynes and yes- Pritchard before him wide right. Pritchard isn't a direct comparrison but does boister the midfield even if you lose a bit of width. But he does have potential and can still come good - but requires games and so needs to go out on loan.
A good move for Waggy and the club I feel. Always liked the lad for his motivation and effort but doubted he had the quality for The Championship and it appears that CP also thinks that. The good thing is that this will keep him match sharp in the vent that we have to recall him due to injuries.
Actually Wilson as RM cover is actually a good shout once Wiggins is fit. Didn't Wagstaff play for us in our last season in the Championship before we got relegated?

Pardew destroyed his confidence in the Yeovil cup game. Made the breakthrough the next season under Parky.
He did Madz and did OK however I recall he sometimes looked out of his depth against better quality players but sorry to say it's just a fact that his final delivery is poor compared to Danny Green.
at the moment it's about his level and only a loan so with age on side he now has the chance to improve himself and maybe step up to the championship once the loan expires
Disappointed for the lad as I really like Waggy - hasn't even had a half chance. Perhaps Pennant is an option judging by his Twitter? https://twitter.com/j_pennant

True, if I'm honest I've sort of written of Haynes in my head. Hope I'm wrong though as when he is fit he looks a handful.

When you have to produce the goods in higher divisions, Danny Green is your man.

If so a good move to give him games.

Wagstaff will start banging them in for Orient
Not that it's on the OS yet
