Is returning to Morecambe after his loan at Carlisle finished yesterday.

Will he stay or will he go?

Looked ok in preseason but when it comes to the real stuff....

Hopefully another period out on loan but we'll probably have to continue to pay the bulk if not all his wages until the end of the season.

Another terrible signing that is costing us money.

I actually thought he had something to offer us. Very pacey. Never really got a good run in the team. So hardly surprising he didn't do much.

Sounds oh so familiar.....

Compliments to the Visitor:

Bentley said: “Adam’s come back, he’s been on loan at Carlisle.

“He comes back into the squad now so we will see what happens.

“We’ll have to assess him, where he is at fitness-wise.

“He has actually been ill the past week so there is that to take into consideration, but I always say to the players, if there is a respect there and he doesn’t take the mick and applies himself correctly we’ll do our best by them, whether they play, whether they don’t play.

“But if they are not great around the place or they are a negative they’ll be shipped out.

Meanwhile, John Sheridan must have fealt the pressure having beaten us and scarpered

I also thought he was a decent player that deserved a longer run. Perhaps he didn't quite have the end-product, but I think you could say the same about all of our attacking players and they've been allowed longer runs in the team. He certainly had a creative spark and forced opponents to defend something different, at least keeping him on the bench. He made a lot of appearances for Carlisle but mostly from the bench.

Is Jim hinting there were some behind-the-scenes issues we didn't see?

Try him in the starting eleven on Saturday and put V.O on the loan market, he can't do any worse.

Don't think he would be winning quite as many headers

Refused to go out on loan to Wrexham earlier in season so I understand, so unlikely to agree to a loan now and besides our management team appear to think he's better now otherwise why continue to play him. Have to say he's improved but still far from what a striker should be. Just a pity that his headers go anywhere but rarely in the goal or even to a team mate....

VO may win headers but nothing happens with them - he either loses them or there's no one to collect it. So what's the point?

Play someone else up alongside him rather than on his own, where he has to win the header and his own knockdown?

I'd rather we wasted a wage and kept him in the reserves as we seem to be doing with better players. Decent starting 11 today, although I wouldn't mind us seeing more of Campbell.
