Ultimately I didn't think he was that good so can't say I'm disappointed.

I liked him but the squad is massive so players need to go.
We need Maxwell fit and back to his best, and stay there!

Brought in to cover Maxwells injury. Don’t think he’s better than Maxwell or Senior so pointless him being here.

Is he cup tied or is he gunna have a blinder against us on Sunday?

I thought Fleming usually did ok when called on , but IMO both Senior and Maxwell well ahead of him in all departments.

Subbed on in the first round at Barrow.

  A talented player who lacked pace that hampered his game and the reason he is struggling at  Championship level and was loaned out to us.
  Technically the best defender in that position positionally when we were not in possession but not quick enough.

No one needs 3 left backs. An unnecessary privilege now that they’re all fit. This bloated squad needs a good trimming imo. It surely can’t be a altogether happy place when so many are missing out.

And so ends my Justice for Jack Senior campaign.

Good luck Brandon.

I bet he gets sent out on loan somewhere else in the next few days

Like he was on Saturday for their 2nd!

I liked him at first, but the last few games he’s played he has been very poor. Good luck to him for the future.

A waste of a wage.

Post by: steve@dcfd on January 09, 2025, 11:16:34 am
He was a good player in that position and probably the best defender at Left back but his loan wage could be used so good luck to him and hope Maxwell gets back to his best

He did what he was brought here to do. Showed some positivity going forward but was often negated by being caught out defensively and giving away too many free kicks. Overall, he applied himself well so good luck to him wherever he goes.

I hope Maxwell gets up to speed very soon as he's looked rusty. Senior is definitely pushing Maxwell for that spot.

'Ull Daily Mail reporting that he is heading back out of loan to another League 2 club, and being release at end of season.

 Yes Petche outpaced to the by line ball pulled back player in front of goal not marked tightly and another goal from down our weakness down the left.  Everything wrong about the goal from our perspective, and repetitive, not the first time the last few weeks.

Think that works for us. We got enough cover there so frees up another loan space if we fancy. Wouldn’t be surprised if it was by mutual consent

He's done Ok but like others have said...when he was annouced as playing I always was a little nervous. Don't have him anywhere near Maxwell and behind Senior too and he always looked like a walking yellow card. So its thanks and concentrate on getting a ball playing midfielder in.

Matty Craig signed for Mansfield on loan

Post by: Shawn_drfc on January 09, 2025, 05:03:50 pm
He recently said he wanted to stay, then not playing, not performing when he was coming on.

Was at fault for the 2nd goal again Port Vale not tracking back, McCann probably told Hull he would be third choice and they brought him back to loan him elsewhere.

I wondered when he got subbed against Tranmere Josh Emmanuel ran about 40 yards to pat him on the back, I wondered if that was to be his last game for us. Maybe the writing was on the wall then.

Grant’s statement about players not running bears fruit

Post by: Rovers91 on January 09, 2025, 08:15:07 pm
I didn't rate him, would much prefer Maxwell or Senior in there. IMO he just sums up the recruitment we did in the summer.

I noticed that too idler.

As Pancho has said, thanks for giving your best for us & all the best for you in the future.

Josh himself disappeared from the squad soon afterwards despite praise from the manager.  Maybe his wages were instead viewed as being better allocated to signing Craig?
Could we  see the return of Josh now?


What is the situation with Josh Emmanuel? Has been released?

Probably recalled so he could give them all the inside knowledge before they play us on Sunday
