Better news on Herbie & Joe

[Alan Southstand]

Herbie apparently ahead of schedule and will be back on the grass this week, but with the physio's.

Joe Wright also making excellent progress and could be available before the season is finished.

Unlucky for Luke, by the way.

Good news.

How about Ian Lawlor? Can anyone tell me is there a window during which a club can sign an emergency loan goalkeeper, and if so has it closed?

Edit: If I understand it right, no window (Article 57 at link):

Then the question is whether Louis Jones' contract is as a full professional, or some sort of Youth contract that doesn't count?

[Alan Southstand]

The manager alluded to this a few weeks ago, Dutch, and if memory serves me right, so long as Jones doesn't actually play for the first team, we can call on an emergency loan at any time.

Many thanks Alan, I missed that.

Personally having seen him warm up I don’t think there’d be a major issue.
Marcus rashford only got his chance through loads of injuries and look how he turned out. 
Everyone needs a break.

The place to form an opinion is at the u23 games.

He’s not quite there yet.
