    Wasn't the issue with Colchester that we didn't have a break clause in January.  That seemed a schoolboy error to me.  The initial loan idea was sensible but the manager changed and he was out of the picture with no chance to recall him.

    At the time, the Hibs loan also seemed good, a step up from St Johnstone and a league he had done well in.  Clearly it has not worked out although it is not obvious how much of that is injury related, at least at the start it seemed so.  Hopefully.he breaks through to their first team soon and nails a place to the end of the season.

    Obita and Bishiri are 2* CBs at Hibs who will be off to the African Cup of Nations in December so he will likely get his chance then.

    Hadn’t realised this. Potentially shrewd from Hibs, getting in a low risk youngster on loan who can settle in for a couple of months and provide cover during AFCON
