    Or similar. That's my prediction.

    I can't see Newcastle extending his loan to us, simply because he's not seeing enough first team game time to aid his development. He has had a very successful season in League One, so they probably won't want to trust that but I do think they'll look for a Championship side in more need of extra fire power than us to get him playing more regularly.

    I suspect offers will come in for Winnall, Roberts, Hourihane and Yiadom. We need to hope they are offers we can afford to refuse.

    I don't think we'll keep Armstrong, though, unless Winnall goes. I know which I'd rather have.

    He's just not cut it yet. He's a young lad who did ok in L1. Scored one cracking goal. If he goes so be it. Would rather we bring in someone who will stay at the club. Unless Newcastle willing to sell him fairly cheaply as he won't be playing for them any time soon.

    Agree.

    I think the lad has great potential & would be worth looking at signing at the right price, but hasn't warranted starting over Sam, Marley & Bradders ...
    think Rotherham would be a bad move though. Need a club with a good development system that is creating chances for strikers, which may be the case for him staying with us & fighting for his place in Newcastle's eyes...

    I'd be quite happy for him to stay because he can create something out of nothing which Winnall and Bradshaw don't do as well, but given we're creating so many chances an impact sub is the best he can hope for at the moment. If we find a good striker of similar quality who we can sign permanently then it might be best if he goes back

    Frustrating for me. I don't think he's been given a proper chance. His pace is electric and I just don't think he's had enough chance to run at defenders

    Played 13 times, so not a lack of games. Although I don't know how many have been sub appearances.
