Loan players
With Bolton & McNulty being loan players and with us struggling financially and more importantly , getting absolutely nothing out of them let’s send them back & save some cash
Bolton started off with some promise but has come to nothing
McNulty not getting played directly up front so why did we sign him ,
If we do want to play 2 up front go with Shankland & Clark and let’s play these promising youngsters we keep hearing about like Mochrie and see what they bring

Re: Loan players
Would be fine with Bolton being sent back.
Has offered us nothing.
Still think McNulty could score for us if we could only give him service and play him in his proper position.

Re: Loan players
Lower league told they cant start up and may never this season. That means we have a squad of players who were out on loan not going to be playing football for the rest of the season, disastrous for their development

Agreed. As much as we'd like it, the reality of Mochrie, Freeman, Graham, Hoti, Meekison etc getting any minutes for the rest of this season is unlikely. Lockdown was bad enough for these guys but they all seemed to really be progressing and getting plenty of minutes. You'd hope that training involves occasional 11 v 11 games for the players that are not regulars in the first team starting 11.

Re: Loan players
Utd will probably be bottom six, post split. Most would agree.
But, i am really hoping that by that time, or not soon after we are a good bit away from 12th place (points wise).
Hopefully, the last 3 games or so we are in a position to give boys like Chris Mochrie, Ross Graham, Kieran Freeman etc some game time (maybe even starts).

Re: Loan players
I really hope so too mate. The only issue will be final league placing winnings etc. If we are guaranteed 7th or 8th then there is a good chance it happens. But if we could finish anywhere between 7th and 10th then its unlikely as the extra dosh we could make from finishing 7th compared 10th could be a big help to the club.
Regardless though, I'd love to see them given a chance. Freeman already proved he can handle it at Ross County away and a couple of other sub appearances.

Graham and Freeman not even been in the matchday squad, with the likes of Neilson, Kerr Smith and Kai in the squad, would suggest they are well down the pecking order

Re: Loan players
I think the plan was to always send them back out. We should try get them to lower Championship clubs as it appears the chances of L1/2 coming back in time are unlikely. Plus with Freeman and Graham we are well covered in their positions at the moment with Bolton and Sporle able to cover both full-back and wing positions. Then you have Neilson and K Smith who appear to be ahead of Graham too... which must be disappointing for a 19 year old when 16/17 year olds are ahead of you. Time will tell.

Re: Loan players
I would take 7th or 8th position right now, every pound's a prisoner.
Much as we'd like to see that acheived with kids being blooded, well that just doesn't happen, does it?
Which begs the question, when do they get a fuk'n' game?
It must have happened once upon a time, your Nareys, Sturrocks, Milnes, Malpas, Holts got introduced.

Depends on the manger, Jackie Mac was good for it despite everything
