To me JFC needs a loan, more than anyone else.  The kids have time on their side. 

JFC will hardly play for us before Xmas, could be a massive player after Christmas though. 

I wouldn't be against him being loaned out as I don't think he will be much more than a bench player this season, and it would be nice for him to get some competitive game time in if he is needed after January.

Though that does depend on if any of our loans get recalled in January. I would guess that there is a chance that Cullen and Field could. However I do not see JFC getting in front of Kayal and Pratley currently. 

Good move that one for him!!

Morgan was quality against Sunderland and Luton at home. Two really big games and he ran our midfield. I really thought he would be in demand.

Perhaps he's said he doesn't want to go out?

Unlikely that any player would want to stay and primarily only play U23 football when they could go and play in league 1 or 2.

With Kayal, Pratley, Field, Cullen, Williams, Oztumer, Gallagher, Lapslie, JFC and Aneke that he's going to feature much.

Scored twice today for the Stiffs. Maybe thinks he's got a point to prove - and reckons he can still force his way into the Matchday squad?

We will be in trouble if JFC is in the first team at any point this season. I hate to say to but I don’t think he’s up to standard as seen during spells at MK Dons and Rotherham in the past.

Similar story to Ben Amos IMO. There’s a reason why they dropped down to League One to get regular game time...

Oggy Red said:

If he's in Sheffield right now, maybe the team bus is going to drop him off at Rotherham.

You heard it here first!

He'll be driven around all the L1 teams on the way home this afternoon. After Rotherham, Doncaster. Then down to Burton on the way south, Coventry, MKD...

Agree with that.
Does he learn more on the training ground playing with and against Conor Gallagher, Sam Field,Jos Cullen etc or does he go to League 2 and play every week. Shame in some ways he can't make the 18 now but the Forest Green game may have knocked him further down the pecking order.

I rate him despite the defensive part of his game needs improving.

Probably not the case but genuinely wondered when I watched the forest green game as to whether Morgan was deliberately not trying so as to put potential loan clubs off - jfc just wasn’t up to it although he was trying - can see him being released later in the year line Billy Clarke

It's now gone 5pm ....... and the loan window SLAMS shut.

Did anyone else, apart from Wiredup go out on loan?

It appears not. Certainly not on the BBC list of moves.

A big surprise is Bolton’s lack of activity. Obviously written off the season.

Lack of? They signed 9 players yesterday, still with the ability of signing a few more who are out of contract too.

I am guessing there is an element of sarcasm in the original comment....

Still 9 players, but probably only 3 decent for that level.... the Stoke loanee, Bridcutt, and Murphy (although he is 36).

Its impossible not to feel pleased for them, although doesnt take much for their fans to forget where they came from. Couple were getting shirty with some Doncaster fan on twitter - saying they were miles bigger than them and Doncaster are their new feeder club. All this talk of promotion and being the Man City of league 1..... its still a relegation squad but at least they have a squad. If we had that squad in league 1 we would just want survival and thats without taking the points deduction in to account.

Said on here before for some reason I’ve never liked Bolton so I hope they go down. For me, if there had to be one team being kicked out the league, I would have rather it been Bolton than Bury.

Harriott signs a 2 year deal with Colchester. Seems a long time ago when it looked like we would sign him as being better than nothing!

Shame he didn’t manage to get a League One club, he’s better than League Two so should do well at Colchester.

Yes, he's played nearly all his career in the Championship, so L2 is a bit of a drop

Chris_from_Sidcup said:

Very surprised he couldn't get a league one club. Surely at the very least Bolton would've been interested.

Perhaps he limited his options by wanting to stay down south?

Or by not being good enough?

Why do Colchester say "Welcome back?"
