Payne, Morgan, Kilkenny, Henry....all quite similar in physical stature.
Are they?
Payne 5ft 5" - Short & Stocky Kilkenny 5ft 7" Short and Slim Henry 5ft 9" Average and Average Morgan 5ft 11" Average and Slim
You've got half a foot's difference between the lot and when it comes to their footballing style they're all different too.
All very different players. (I can't speak for Kilkenny's play style yet).
And height doesn't ALWAYS equate to physical style anyway - Dobson is tall but not particularly "big" (by football standards) and still mixes it up effectively. Andy Hughes was not a monster physically but loved a scrap.
A lack of height could potentially be a hindrance at set pieces but that's where our own defence and forwards need to step up anyway.
Don't think i've ever been less interested in a transfer thread. We're not going up, not going down and only have money for loan players that we will not keep beyond the season.
Assuming that link on players salaries, shared the other day, was correct, off loading Kirk with save £5k a week, not sure where Stockley was on it, but woulda thought he'd be on around the same
All well and good getting Kirk off the books but there has to be a replacement for him lined up otherwise we're very light wide for a side that wants to play 433.

Very doubtful that a club would pay 100% wages on a loan player.

It only saves 5k a week if Burton pay all of it...
It's mad that we've got so many players in some positions that we're having to trim the squad and yet we only had one senior left-back at the start of the season.

Not convinced we’ll get a winger in, Campbell is Kirk’s replacement.
That’s not a bad thing, he clearly has potential to do well at this level and looks a better fit for a Holden side. We need pace and energy on the wings, Kirk’s a low tempo player suited to a possession side.

He's a 19 year old kid. I wouldn't want to play him every week if JRS or CBT got injured. We NEED more cover than that.

I'd agree with you if we weren't a league one club losing £8 million per year.
We're really not going to sign another winger in those circumstances, particularly when you see Campbell looks promising.
If Stockley goes, on loan or permanent, we will need another striker, we only have two plus Aneke. I am not counting Kanu, as I do not think he is ready. If Kirk and/or DJ goes, we should be OK with Campbell. Payne could always play wide if need be or Clare

It's a madness that if, all rumours are true, we are having a complete overall in the January window, Chunes. Look at our wide players, apart from Campbell, losing anyone of them is a bonus, Blackett Taylor, DJ and Kirk would not get in a top six side.
Just seen an Inside Football article saying that there is interest in Lyle Taylor from un- named clubs. His contract is up in June. Looks like a bit of a desperation in the piece- either the Nott. F. placed it to create interest because they want to move him on(which there was a piece in Dec that suggested that), or his agent because he wants to go and nobody is enquiring.

These long contracts given out are coming back to hit Sandgaard in the pocket

hopefully the loans with view to perms
