Hmm, I’m surprised we’ve gone back to MK Dons when they pulled the plug on his loan deal in January in favour of bringing in an experienced defender on loan from Aberdeen. And they still got relegated.

Yer I was when I read it, they didn’t take up the option to keep the guy from Aberdeen and just sold a good up and coming CB to Swansea so were probably able to guarantee game time, manager clearly likes him if he’s come back in. Dons will have one of the bigger budgets in League 2 so should operating at the top end of the table.
It does seem a division too low for Welch , but he needs game time against men and a bit of filling out so maybe it’ll work out. Despite the criticism he gets I thought Thelwell made good calls on the loans out for our youngsters last year,timings and the clubs worked well and I don’t recall any of them being left in limbo. In terms of minutes played it was probably our best season for our youngsters for a few years.
I wonder if that was more to do with James Vaughan having a positive impact and helping to secure better loans for the youngsters
Patterson tore an ankle ligament in training early January apparently meaning he only played a few games towards end of season

Quite surprised really, he didnt seem to get THAT much game time.
Maybe one they see as a late developer and they see the ability in training.
He come from the same grass roots team in Bolton as my lad, adnd a couple of others doing well in the non-leagues.

no way he was being released, pretty sure he was injured most of the first half of the season.
Genuinely don’t know this lad

You don't know Jonesy???
The only time I've seen him or heard of him was during one of the games in India. He was fairly involved though.
I’ve seen the U18’s a few times and don’t remember him whatsoever

Thats a long drop to go and get first team football for an England youth international.....League 2
We are looking pretty light at centre back in the 21s.
Assuming Astley and Welch are gone, that leaves ISS and Campbell plus Jones and Tierney who are both stepping up. Feels like he's just a squad filler tbh. Especially just getting a 1 year deal.
May speak volumes of him?! I just remember that crazy Indian commentator mentioning him.
We seem to be favouring loans at lower levels but with more of a chance that our lads actually play. I think we'll have to wait and see how it plays out.
