A shame, just as we bring in a left wing back, we lose our right wing back !!

Maybe Jones, Brockbank, Baptiste or Hickman might play there.

We need to be getting rid of some "defenders" before bringing more in.

If we’re going to play four at the back then we have cover at right back anyway . Might leave a bit a room to bring another striker in on loan . Looking at the bright side 

Disappointed to lose the lad thought he was a decent player at this level.

Going forward, yes, although final ball was often poor.
Defensively, not great.

I suppose borrowers are always liable to find this could happen, but it's a shame. Luton will barely give him a game now & we could use him. Bit of a U-turn too. I wish him well.

 

Having recruited John, a wing back, I'd guess that the plan was to play with 3 at the back & 2 wing backs, John & Kioso, but  that plan looks buggered now with Kioso gone & none of the others as good as him in the attacking role......Jones & Brockbank are better defenders.

fwiw i like Kioso, he seemed to have a very good attitude & we'll miss him, but ,as yet ,I don't think he's good enough for the championship.

Not totally surprised he's gone back, it's not the end of the world, Jones is better at defending than Kioso and we've got Brockbank for cover.

This.

I know John was signed as a left wing back but surely can also play as a genuine left back and get up and down the line. I wish him well but if it frees up a space to strengthen elsewhere....

Declan John done his hamstring in training so we're back to Jones at LB

Do we think Baptiste has the lungs to be an effective defender and attacker?

Agreed.  Very replaceable, especially if IE drops the wingback system and uses the players he's got in their natural positions.

Frees up another place in the squad for a striker or keeper.

Or Delaney or Greenidge in a back 4 - leave Jones at right back.  Just not LWB.

This sort of thing has happened too frequently this season- new players getting fucked over. Come on Rudy- is something amiss within the training?

Anyways, looks like there's a chance Kioso will he back later in the month.

Kioso is a loss. He was the only bloke in the squad capable of winning a header!

FFS! Is Declan John this seasons Will Buckley?

I was thinking the same.

I imagine his training is pretty intense and, who knows, maybe it should be.

Aye. Do they use the scientific data etc that BSA utilised- checking where players are up to etc before flogging them?

Rudy will know; but its happening too much. Will clubs think twice before loaning players to us?

.... & now he's linked (by Nixon. Yes ... I know) to another move out to Northampton.

Now THAT woukd fck me off. I've never really got over Johnny Aston & Luton.  I was beginning to mellow.

FFS. We are cursed.

There is no other explanation for the shit that we have to put up with in the last ten years.

God help us if we go 351 again with Brockbank and Jones as wing backs! 😭

I'd rather we played with 11, we have enough handicaps
