If our coaching staff can Identify why he fizzles out then we may able to take the initial loan further.

The answer is there is nothing in the loan agreement to prevent Jake from playing against us when we visit later this season.

Ideal.

All set up for him to score a hattrick then.

Good news for us, thanks for that Matt.

How is Wroe doing for you? I know he scored but besides that, how is his general play and are the fans warming to him?

Only seem him once yet myself, two of his three games were away from home, but we've won all three he's played so hopefully he's doing something right.

I thought he had a decent game against Stevenage on Saturday and he certainly took his goal very well, timing his run into the box perfectly. Stevenage probably isn't the best game to judge him too much in though as they're just a bunch of physical spoilers. It was never going to be anything other than a very scrappy, stop start game against them.

An update on the situation regarding Jake Robinson playing for Torquay in the playoffs.

We don't need your permission to play Robinson, the "loan deal" is already signed until the "end of the season".

To be fair, "end of the season" is a bit ambiguous in these circumstances.

"Spoke to the Gaffer and it is until the end of the season, Torquay can request that he is available for the play-offs and that would be something hard for us to refuse."

I think you should press him for an exact quote, the second part seems more of an impression by him than anything factual.

Robinson is available for us to play in the play-offs should we get there. That doesn't change whether we play you or not, the loan was signed with no clause to exclude us from playing him against you and will run until our final game of the season.
