Maybe trying to get a full performance from him? See if he can him committed to the game. |  |

TEAM NEWS on 14:05 - May 1 with 2367 views | pointofblue | Three changes: - Kenlock for Ward - Dobra for Bennetts - Norwood for Hawkins Where’s Parrott sprung from? I guess the use of the loanees on the bench speaks volumes. Woolfenden expected to hit the heights of last season whilst continuing to baby sit, I see. |  |

There has to be an appearance clause, can't possibly be any other reason. |  | |  |

We are letting Chambers and Nsiala both go in the summer so don’t want to risk them picking up injury? That or maybe the latter isn’t match fit yet. Loanees on the bench is because we can bring them on before sending them back. It’s sounds brutal but if they pick up an injury so be it. I’m reading this as everyone who is a permanent player and not in the squad is gone (unless they’re injured). |  |

Probably as we have to, there will be a minimum amount of games he would have to play as part of the loan we probably want to remain on good terms with Arsenal in case we need to loan from them again. If we don’t keep to the terms of the loan then I bet it would cost us a fair bit in compensation. |  | |  |

TEAM NEWS on 14:10 - May 1 with 2049 views | clive_baker | Decent side. Good to see KVY & Woolfy defensively, the midfield 3 makes sense, as does starting Dobra. Norwood is our best bet through the middle. Those 7 are the most likely to be with us next season IMO. Not sure why we’re persisting with 4 loanees in the squad, still feels utterly pointless but I guess there’s contractual considerations. |  |

...on the bench behind an error prone loanee and the captaincy given to the banter king. It doesn't sit particularly comfortably with me. |  |

Could it be more to do with Woolfenden, in the sense of giving him the task of thinking more about organising the back four, and taking more responsibility alongside more of a ball on the deck type partner, ready for next season. Similar with giving Norwood the captaincy; giving him a bit of responsibility and changing his attitude a little ready for next season. |  |

....anything in McGs contract to say he needs to play any more games this season. I don't get it. |  |

Skuse, Ward, Sears, Jackson and Drinan on top of the already departed/soon to depart Huws and Judge. Plus the six loanees should all leave and not come back. I guess Wilson is still put injured and Cook may be keeping Nydam away from the first team squad at this point for his own good. |  |

Doesn't matter if he gets injured (with reference to the release of Judge). |  |

It's ok though, if we don't score again Cook will come out and sh1t all over the players again and everyone will say "Well said Paul!". It's one the thing to do this if LC is here as a squad player next year, needlessly petty otherwise. [Post edited 1 May 2021 14:45]

Norwood the most experienced player in that team and gives his all. |  | |  |

If that’s true, in the name of transparency, details of loan deals should be made public. And how come it only seems to work one way; the players we send out on loan seem to play just a handful of minutes before being sent back. |  |
