Earl is a left-sided defender usually listed as a left-back but he can play centre-back and is 6ft 4in, turns 21 in October.

I found it odd we registered these lads before today. Why not ONeil? Hobbs is searching for another club now apparently. Think others might be asking questions about us registering players pre takeover!

I thought the same yesterday, I assume it's due to their ages and contract type.

Bloody hell, forgot all about Hobbs. Had to google to see when we first signed him!

I think it’s down to cost and ease of doing said deals. But I think they were signed on basis deal
was done so not sure we will be allowed more until takeover is actually concluded.

Not sure what he's expecting on a player transfer to be honest. There isn't a deadline until transfer deadline day...I know he's trying to knit two "just keeps dragging on" stories into one, but that's scraping the barrel.

I think he means that we're in league one so deadline for deals is September rather than everyone else where deadline day is "end of this week". He's having a dig. The jumped up arse.

Ched Evans has said he fancies a move to Fleetwood over us, as we know he tends to get his own way so I think we can chalk that one off.

I'm both relieved and disappointed.

From the piss poor official site it seems we have a squad of 17?
Plus ST Darcy, CD Boon and Senior D?

GK: Annick, Matthews
CD: Zouma, Edwards?, White?,
RB: Brockbank,
LB: Earl (LOAN),
DM: Lowe,
CM: Murphy, Politic?, Graham?,
LW: Weir(LOAN), Oz?
RW: King-Harmes
ST: Brown, Magennis, Hall,

We're DOMED - we're spiralling down to the 16th Circle of Hell taking the scenic Accrington Gillingham Doncaster route!
League 2 at least...
What could've happened; did.

Hall and Oates, sorry, Hall and Earl each out injured for “eight to twelve weeks”. Not the sort of thing a threadbare squad can easily cope with. We will already have targeted strikers but now we need another left-back. Lafferty? Or has he gone somewhere?

Conway, Hobbs and Pringle back in according to Nixon. Has that left back been fixed up with a club in the meantime?

What if selling tickets directly funds wages / a new signing this week?

Lafferty? Not yet. He said before the summer that he was confident he could get a Champo move... but he trained with us.

In other news, Nixon says Millwall asked after Alnwick, but he doesn’t want a southern club (remember he left Posh for us to be nearer his family in the NE). Not sure if that’s connected to Nixon’s earlier proclamation that we should expect one keeper in and one out this week.

Andy Taylor on a reduced 1 year deal is likely to be out of the question?
