Why did we sign Plummer on loan?

Have to agree Jim
It does not make sense to me. If you make a loan signing surely it must be to bring in someone who can make a difference and be a key player for the first team.
Not to include him in the squad for the last 2 games is not doing either him or our budget any favours.
Tonight has gone quite well for us in terms of other results but from my 2 reports on the phone tonight the performance was at best workmanlike. Not sure we have quite got the balance correct and loan signings have to be targetted to make us better.
If the manager does not believe that Plummer makes us better then he may as well be returned.

pikey the pitch may well not have been the sort that Plummer could do well on, but I don't think thoughts of the surface are the reasons he did not make the bench.

I feel more sorry for Mark Ellis and I did run a thread on him, after I got to chat with him some six or so weeks ago. Just what is his future here? I know he felt unhappy being kept out the side by a midfield player, I would say that Hodges has done a first class job as a defender and would be the fans choice for that spot now. Still Hodges was out tonight and I bet mark thought he would get the nod, but he did not even make the bench and the bench tonight did not have one defender on it.

When did we last have a team where some players never got games? mind you it might be down to having a larger squad, but I really believe Ellis will want to move on as soon as possible, young or old, players want to play some games during the season for the first team,the best Ellis can hope for is a game in the Devon bowl.

Yes it seems he is gone and a shame we never got to see what he had to offer, still it sounds as if Bucks is after another player and I know most fans would hope its a striker, I wonder if he is now playing for Weymouth

Aussie - he had enough about him to have WENGER have him watched!
To be fair to Bucks, Plummer showed that he has plenty of pace and trickery and he too a chance on him. It hasn’t worked-out this time, but how were we to know that - and more importantly, what was there to lose? If, as Capitalgull indicates, he has returned to Bristol City, we have other targets and we move-on.
Perhaps in different circumstances it would have worked-out - Bucks and the club keep trying and the ratio to shrewd signings to 'duffers' remains comfortably in our favour to say the least!!!

Chris I wasn`t getting upset about it just can`t understand why you would not have him watched more closely first, hope we weren`t paying his wages and if Buckle only gets players in that he thinks will fit in then I don`t think he would have had a Billy Big Bollocks attitude because Bucks tries to get players with the right mental goings on, he has shown in the past that frame of mind is very important to him so if Plummer was pacey, skillful and good in the head then the whole thing perplexes me! I do appologise if come across a bit stong verbally but I can`t help being Australian.

Someone has to be mate, although I can`t help feeling that sometimes people take me the wrong way (not saucey!) due to the fact I`m not that good at expressing what I mean via a key board, much better with the spoken word but then you get the accent to compensate so it`s really a lose lose situation unless you like the great Aussie accent!
