1 month loan confirmed ....

Don't forget they've now got Charlie Wyke on loan - a force behind the win at Wycombe.

Gulli, I hadn't seen that, excellent news. We were SO close to getting him, I can't tell you.

Come on Tomo, I think four goals is high scoring. A quick look down the results from the weekend show very few games with more goals (even though it was FA Cup weekend).

Without Smith for Wombles, I might be forced to revise my prediction.

As we've rarely managed to score more than one goal in any match this season, I suppose 2 - 2 would be a 'high scoring affair' ................

Smith has gone back to Charlton, his 6 month loan has ended.

The Jesus connection is an obvious one, but one which should see us get the very best from Stockley. Chris has been working with him for months now and will have an extremely accurate idea of his strengths. I think, with everything we know, that we will see a Stockley/Benyon starting front two against Wombles.

It appears he is on his way back to us, at least according to the Bournemouth Echo reporter's twitter!

No real surprise, given the AFCB connection. I really don't think we've seen the best of this lad yet and clearly his first month here was disappointing and very stop/start largely down to injury. I would hope that we might get him for the remainder of the season as I would think he is a fair way down the pecking order at Bournemouth.

A good footballer no doubt, but strikes me as being too similar to Marquis - a relatively mobile target man? Personally a player of Benyon's ilk (or just Benyon as he scored last game anyway) would be a more natural partner for Marquis. We could end up with another Sills - Rendell situation.

That said, he is a good player and has been highly rated at all of his loan and parent clubs.

You're right, I was getting myself a bit muddled. It does seem about right gross.

Sounds about right^

Bodins loving it too, 70K

I would expect a player of his age with the teams he's played for previously to be on more to be honest.

If that is true and hes on this or more then Im flabergasted and annoyed!

Be excited. CP is correct, he's been on his way here for months and only a very late freak injury to a colleague prevented him coming here in January. This isn't the only story of its kind from Knill's tenure, and goes a long way to explaining some of the loanee merry-go-round which we've seen.
