Gayle back, 4 points from Wolves and Norwich away? Brighton now dropping their arses because Huddersfield are on another run? Yep I'll take that no bother.

While I'm happy with a point at Brighton our only capable goal-scorer picked up a yellow that rules him out of the Norwich game. That game looked unpleasant to begin with but now just looks grim. I might just pretend football didn't exist for the next couple weeks and return to it pretending nothing happened.

We've handed out a thumping away at Brum which is a surprise. Still conceded a stupid late goal though, we were just 4 up instead of 1 for a change.

We really should have beaten Leeds yesterday, and probably would have if not for Lawrence being suspended; but I'm not going to complain because that statement marks a huge improvement over a few weeks ago.

Speaking of Lawrence I can't understand why he's still at the club. He's a loaner from Leicester and has almost single-handedly lifted Ipswich out of the relegation fight with equal amounts of effort, ability and goals. Which seems like exactly what Leicester needs. Granted he wouldn't have the same impact in the prem but at least he can put the ball in the net which would be around a 3 million percent improvement, give or take.

They probably contractually can't recall him, tends to be the way with season long loons.

Seems like you're right. From what I can find he can only be recalled if everyone agrees to it, everyone being Leicester, Ipswich and Lawrence himself.

This raises an interesting point for McCarthy if Leicester do ask. I can only assume that Lawrence would immediately say yes, but if McCarthy blocks it Leicester may be sufficiently pissed off to not do business with us in the future (provided they stay up). We rely very heavily on the loan system to actually field competitive teams due to financial issues, so it might be hard to close that door. I suppose it will depend on McCarthy's faith in the squad to not get in to trouble the rest of the season.

You cannot recall half-season loans, and season-long loans can only be recalled in the January window (either by way of a recall clause or with agreement of all parties as you mentioned). The only time you can recall outside of the window is for a goalkeeper if you don't have two fit/eligible goalkeepers.

Something close to that scenario happened this season with Beccles Boy Chris Martin. Loaned to Fulham because Nigel Pearson didn't fancy him, then Pearson gets sacked and Steve McClaren gets his old job back and Martin fancies going home to Schteve, so goes on strike. Fulham say "lol no" and now he's stuck there until the end of the season. Although I think he's stopped being in a huff now.

Looking at the Villa forums not a chance. But nobody who is better than Bruce will take the job on, well maybe Redknapp as he is doing relatively gently caress all at the moment and there is a lot of money going at Villa.

Villa are hosed though now, with hardly any strikers left and a squad that doesn't seem to give a poo poo about each other its really not looking good. Survival is going to depend on the teams lower than them having a really bad remainder of the season.
