Fairhurst to Southend on loan (http://www.doncasterroversfc.co.uk/page/News/0,,10329~2176995,00.html)
Strange one considering our lack of available strikers, unless...........
-
He's just heading home for a while (we all know he is \"Plan B\" masquerading as a footballer from Donny).

Said he's going on loan lo lo lo loaaaaaaan

Well im glad it makes sense to you rigo,as it doesn't make any to me.We have Sharp (nursing a bad groin) and Hayter (just returning from a lengthy spell out) and Brooker who hasnt even looked close to being fit on the few occasions he has been able to manage it..
The only other striker we have is Fairhurst,and we cant recall him on his first month loan spell.We must have somebody coming in, and even then i wouldnt let Fairhurst out till he was here for definite.If we havent got anybody coming in then i think its a stupid move..
I like Fairhurst but SOD is going to have to decide if this lad is good enough to play here or not else he will turn him into another Nellthorpe. :angry:
-
Ever thought that SOD's moved him out because he's simply not good enough yet?
-
Or that he will get the first week of his loan out of the way when DRFC have no games.

Possibly, but \"not good enough\" is better than no options at all

From BBC:
He told BBC Essex: \"I asked the gaffer a couple of weeks ago if I could go out and get some games but Doncaster had injuries at the time.
The current move suggests that we have some cover coming in for the injuries, either from a fit again Hayter or maybe a loanee.

A young striker from Leicester has been having trials this week.

I would imagine SOD has thought it through before allowing Fairhurst go out on loan. There's a very strong possibility we will be without Sharp for at least one game during the next month in view of the fact he's picked up 4 yellow cards in 10 games and with several key matches coming up I wouldn't lay too much money on the 5th not arriving before Fairhurst is back.

What's the betting Sharp will pick up his fifth booking at home v Derby, so miss the Sheff Utd game. Maybe his intention? :ohmy:

We've got an away day at Scunny first, though!
I still havn't got over last season's game, yet!

I know we have, but that wasn't my point.
A booking in the Scunthorpe game would mean he misses the Derby County game, which may not be his intention. ;)

Would one of the \"Fairhurst admirers\" please tell me what I am missing? I have played and watched football for over 40 years and can't for the life of me see how this lad has got a professional contract with a CHAMPIONSHIP club, IMHO he would struggle in a Conference team, everytime I've seen him play I've come away wondering what SOD sees in him particularly after the Acc Stanley game he was very poor and that should have been a big opportunity for him. I know he scored a couple of goals last season but one was nearly over the line anyway. I'm sorry but I just can't see it!

Eh? The one at West Brom was a square ball put into the six-yard box (so wouldn't have gone in without his intervention), the second in the next game was an instinctive finish with the goalkeeper stranded, from about 10 yards out.

I'm not in the Fairhurst is god gang. I just think he may have potential, and at this stage, that's all we can say on what we have seen. I feel if we were not the club we are and where we are, he would play far more games and maybe our No1 striker.
The only thing I can say he does consistently and probably better than anyone else in the club (although Billy is up there) is hit the ball hard and true. Unfortunately we can only judge this on the shooting practice in the warm ups.
