Players out on loan

[selby]

  Will flint played 67 minutes on the right of a back four as a wing back, again not his natural position but shows the manager Alan Armstrong thinks he is capable of doing a job in different positions.
  Up against in form Boreham Wood they suffered a 3-0 loss at home and the fourth loss on the trot and are now flirting with the relegation positions in the national league.
  He was subbed about the hour mark and replaced by Kyle Hurst as they tried to get back into the game with a more experienced wing back so not the best day for our two lads up there.
  At Peterborough Sports there was no sign of Sam Brown being involved in the squad, so after doing well I would think has picked up a knock, and as an aside neither was McCann Grants son on loan from Barnsley although he was an unused sub for Northern Ireland u21's mid week so may not have been available.
  Also in mid week Grehan played for Eire as the right side defender in the back line, unfortunately they suffered on the face of it a very poor result losing 4-0 to Andorra, a team not usually associated with results like that in international football.
   So with injuries and a string of defeats it hasn't been the best of weekends for the lads.
  Kasper Williams played the full 90 for Bridlington but picked up a booking in a feisty game at Brighouse where one of our old u18s Jack Whiting came on as a sub for Bridlington late on.

  Sam Brown stared tonight v Bedford and scored the opener after 12 minutes Bedford have however equalised since but a good start for Sam.

[Chris Black come back]

What happens now to Faulkner? Out apparently for another 2-3 months.

There is a chance perhaps that Harrogate cancel his season long loan and he is back with us and he is then not able to get another league loan in the second half of the season. He could if he gets fit push for a place in our squad but there is still competition there now.

He is then running up against his deal ending with us in June and he will not have played regular football since early November. Would McCann offer him another deal off the back of three months with Harrogate, where by all accounts he has done a good job?

[Barmby Rover]

I would hope so, I know we are strong in that position, but if he could be a cheap replacement for O'Riordan when he leaves if he gets some chances near the end of the season.

[MachoMadness]

Depends on how much Harrogate are paying I suppose. Sounds like he could well be back for the run-in, and they could well need him, so they might keep him if they can still afford a short-term replacement in January.

  A quick update, Bobby had an operation early this morning that as far as I know went well  and will be doing recovery under the medical team at the Rovers.
  Will Flint has recovered from his shoulder injury and has returned to Gateshead whether in time to be considered for this weeks game I have no idea but is fit and ready to go again.

According to Grant today he staying with us as you say under our medical team the new gym should be open next week so he have all the new facilities and he said could be out 8  to 10 weeks
