    The club is forever going on about finances being tight yet we have a very well paid and experienced loanee warming the bench.


    Baffling.

    Agreed. Very experienced at Championship level and on loan from a Premier League club... Totally baffling; must be something going on behind the scenes there.

    he knew his current fitness wasn't the best when he signed him. Only way to get fitness is to play games.

    I reckon the fee we pay Stoke, or our contribution to his wages, must be linked to appearances.

    No he hasn't. Showed some quality in the first half against Derby (as did Smith) but nothing after that.

    Thing is, we can all see we're lacking genuine quality, especially in midfield, and Hill says the same. We know Tonge has this, even if he hasn't been fit enough to show it regularly, so that's why I think there's more to his lack of appearances than meets the eye.

    Another big black mark against KK - along with RNL's exclusion, and the insistence on picking Wiseman no matter how gash he is.
    Why get an expensive loanee in, and then not play him? The club whinge about lack of finance, yet pull this??
    Now dont get me wrong, I think Tonge is shot anyway, made of glass, wouldnt have touched him with Keith's... so am not saying we should play him, but along with that pillock Smith, and Frank fcukin Nouble, SEND EM BACK!
    Waste of money, and thats being understated

    Tonge O'Brien and Perkins slotting in on Monday with Digby is ideal
    But wishful thinkin he'd do that.

    The worry though is defence
