How can we recall Bickerstaff (who isn't ready for this level anyway) when we've sent him with no recall option ?

How can we recall Bickerstaff without an option? How would you?

If someone is available then by all means go for it but throwing, for example, 50-100k at someone for a few weeks is not plausible.

Agree partially but neither is it plausible to go into the last 12 games with 1 striker hoping to make the play offs so if we do nothing we basically throw a whole seasons work down the pan.

If you're going to take a punt now I'd rather go with a proven striker from a much higher level who has fallen from grace but will likely piss this level on one leg than taking a League 2 journeyman who was never that good even when fit

Hopefully we can sign a bloke like Dele Adebola and piss the league.

Agree. If we want promotion, we must find this calibre of player to stand a chance.

The lad can make things happen, and could see him playing up with Dior easy. We will probably see Durrell up front instead, and if I'm being honest, I'd rather Ruthers in before Durrell because he just doesn't cover enough ground. So much space on his side for the opposition to take advantage of.

Trouble is with Jarvis , and i think he should play , He hasnt played a lot of football , thanks to keates, hope he doesnt get injured because of that .

It's a risk we must take.

From what I have seen of Jarvis he looks fit, and certainly hasn't been flogged to death this season. He may have a sore arse from warming the bench, whilst lesser players have had their chances and mostly fluffed them.

Someone may be able to correct me but I believe the rules regarding loans now are that they are window to window with no recall possible.
