I think this might be a permanent move. He only joined Oldham in October and was only contracted until January. We must have offered to pay his contract for the month.
Interesting how he's thanked the Oldham fans for the support they gave him at the club, makes it sound like he will be joining us perm in January
As he only signed for Oldham on a short deal until December 30th, and now on loan to us for the same time, obviously he will be looking for a new contract somewhere from January 1st
reading Ben Roberts' programme interview a few weeks back , he keeps a list of players who he thinks/knows would do the job and make the step up - Henderson was on it and that lead to us signing him in the summer.. I would guess that Etheridge is on that list after spending time here before so I believe Roberts continues to think that Neil can do the job in any capacity.
Think this might end up turning into a full season. A few weeks back on 1905 Pope said he wanted to play league football and Roberts said they would look at it in Jan as he does need to be playing at this stage.
Can see Pope playing while Henderson is out and then to be loaned to a league 1 side to play with Neil number 2 to Henderson.

Couldn't agree more.. from that interview and others I got the Impression that popey was gonna get a loan at some point and possibly Phillips too.. and that would free up the wages to bring in a number two..
Hendo brings the defence a hell of a lot more confidence and I'm sure our results show that, Bikey & TBH are less erratic with him inbetween the sticks. Once fit it HAS to be Hendo in goal, Pope's got a lot to learn still.. and it's no time to chuck another new guy in
So after Peeters built Pope up publically a week or so ago, you want him dropped at the first poor game?
That would be great management.
but if he costs us points again next week, is that good management, if any other player cost a team points fans would want him dropped, but goalkeepers get special treatment why?
his confidence will be really down after 2 big mistakes today, that could effect him next week
You will crucify him. You really are clueless. This isn't football manager. You can't just drop a kid because he had a bad day. Especially a keeper. He was outstanding against millwall, very good against Ipswich. But forget that he had a mare today let's drop him. Seriously mate sort it out protect the kid not destroy him.
It's a shame that he couldn't put in a performance like he did last weekend at Forest. He looks assured, commanding and a good Championship keeper. Today was a nightmare.

I hope Dillon Phillips gets a loan as well.

That might pxxx the Hammers off.

They say never go back, but this time it just feels different.
Expect that to happen when hendo has recovered...

Sadly a defender can be saved more easily after a mistake, than when a keeper makes one.
