Dsane and Brough Available For Loan

Brough was the first summer signing by Buckle. He has been playd out of position in the 2 games he has played. He is a centre midfielder not a centre back.
Brough and Dsane are in effective on the 'transfer list' becasue the manager would rather blame players than take responsibility himself.
Remember Leroy doing something similar with Constantine in 2005-06. He went on to score bucket loads for Port Vale.
What has Brough done wrong, apart from be played out of position?
Paul Buckle has lost the support, the dressing room and the plot.

If that was the case, could it be to bring in one or two players? say a proper right back, or maybe its because of the falling gates.

Crispygull, I have felt that Desane has looked good in the games he has played, so I do find it strange he would be put on emergency loan. I do wonder seeing he left the ground when he was due to meet Ant, If he left a bit upset, that day.

He had played well during the first half of that game, only to be taken off, so maybe you are correct in thinking that he now wants out. I really hope there is not some problem in the dressing room, with the games coming up, we need our team to be together and working hard for each other and the manager.

Personally I am pleased the club is taking some action as there is an awful lot to sort out !

Clearly Brough is not getting a look-in in central midfield like our other new central midfielders since Hargreaves and Mansell went back there which makes his signing look rather pointless. And like Thompson, it is clear it is a disaster waiting to happen if Brough plays in defence. Even if Brough goes we will still have too many midfielders with one or two sitting in the stands during matches !

As for Dsane, he has been a big let-down since he joined us last season. He just never looks like scoring whether it is down to poor control or feeble shooting. So I won't miss him in the slightest ! I personally think that Benyon has established himself as our top striker. At least he can finish and puts himself about in spite of his natural physical strength. I would still like to see more of Green, and see a partnership of either Benyon / Sills or Benyon / Green.

Why do you always suspect "problems in the dressing room" Dave? Could it not be that the players made available are quite amenable to the offer to get a regular game somewhere as the manager obviously tries to consolidate things and begins to establish a settled side?

I'll tell you now that Brough had an enquiry made for him on the eve of the transfer deadline, it was made known to him but both the player and the manager informed one another they both saw a future for him at Plainmoor. Now could that enquiring club come back in and the player agree to go there on loan for a while? If you knew who that club is (I do) you might be shocked, but they obviously rate him and who knows if he were to go there for a while he might decide he wants to head there permanently in the next transfer window....................though I doubt it.

Dsane is obviously short of confidence and a spell at a lower level might just allow him to start hitting the net and then return, confidence in tact?

It's almost certain now that the central defence will comprise any two from Todd, Woods, Robertson and Ellis for the foreseeable future. Likewise the two striking positions will go to either Sills, Green or Benyon with another possible loanee or out of contract striker to come in. Could that "loanee" come from the same club that takes Dsane in that we take a look at him between now and the January window, and Roscoe takes his place for that period?

That we need a right back is well documented, so Brough going out could free up that place on the payroll.

Think about it and think positive instead of looking for problems at every turn the manager takes!

Could it not just be a case of both players frustrated at the lack of first team opportunities here and wanting regular games elsewhere, probably with a view to a permanent exit ?

Lets face it, Brough has not had a look in, at least not in his preferred position and whilst Dsane has been given plenty of opportunities,although not always in his preferred position as a striker (at least not last season anyway), is it not a possibility that perhaps he was none too pleased at being left out of the squad yesterday - with a 16 year old trainee chosen ahead of him on the bench instead?

That said, apparently he (Dsane) has a groin injury ? Strange that, given that the recovery period is normally 2-3 weeks minimum, and yet now he appears fit and available to be loaned out? Something doesnt quite add up!
