January 11, 20215 yr 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

January 11, 20215 yr 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.
January 11, 20215 yr 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.
January 11, 20215 yr 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.

Looking at the bright side 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....

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.

January 11, 20215 yr 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.
January 11, 20215 yr 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?

Come on Rudy- is something amiss within the training? I was thinking the same. I imagine his training is pretty intense and, who knows, maybe it should be.

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?
January 11, 20215 yr .... & 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.
January 11, 20215 yr FFS. We are cursed. There is no other explanation for the shit that we have to put up with in the last ten years.
