Poor execution afterwards mind. Coco does brilliant things like this, though it's always the final execution that counts. Same with Dobs, they all can leave you very frustrated as they all have a lot of flair. Good showing from them all today having said that! Now let's see them do it on a regular basis and rip teams apart.

Both Metcalfe and Tanton are listed as U21s so terminating their loans makes no difference.

I would like to think we get an answer regarding how Hobson was able to be added to the squad but I wonder if there are some special circumstances under the rules which have been applied for and accepted in this case.

Webb said after the game there was a reason but he wasn?t able to say though the news/story will be out in a few days.

Retiring through injury?

I think that is most probably the scenario and the only two likely players concerned are Mike Jones and John Fleck.

Sad, but what will be will be.

[Westbars Spireite]

That's a scenario that might have convinced the league we have grounds to allow a player to be replaced in the squad.

has fleck played a league minute for us? i know he's played in the cups and been on the bench in a league game but without knowing the rules i wonder if him not playing a league game might mean we can declare him "unused"

I don't have a clue what scenario has allowed Bailey Hobson to play today, but I have no doubt that he will have played legitimately.

If we have the money, do you think he stays?

Would be no surprise to me if both Fleck and Jones are gone by January

In fairness - neither Fleck or Jones should be in the squad. Jones clearly not bouncing back from his constant injury and Fleck? less said the better.

The only way I see him staying is we offer Blackburn a significant transfer fee and him a lucrative long term contact. Not sure we're in a position to be doing either of those things.

not sure it would be significant with his contact up in the summer. Wages could be an issue if we're competing with a L1 club though.

It would be significant to us. Their alternative is to offer him a new contact, lose him in the summer or hope his form with us will attract other interest (which it will have).

[Spireiteranger]

He?d be a big loss. His quality was on full display yesterday, that little drag back when we hit both posts was unreal.

Me too. 1) The transfer fee would be out of our reach 2) His wages would be very high 3) Would he even want to stay im guessing not i think he would want a higher level of football.
