Can you define ‘social media’ more specifically, so we can assess how reliable this is?

Carlisle may be desperate and in different sides certain players shine when they can't do for our side. Its part of the reason transfers happen.

STOP IT!

He is staying with us and he is going to have a fantastic couple of months when he is fit. At least 10 goals.

If this is true, then I’ll have a £5 double; Orient to keep a clean sheet at Reading & Drinan to score the first goal on 3 Feb.

The Ritchie Wellens chant will need to be changed if he goes. Where has the 1 to 10 years chant for Darren Pratley come from? Heard it at Portsmouth for the 1st time. We seem to have a few more chants these days so perhaps there's some young group thinking them up and getting them heard.

Why would you want to move, Howes Hunt and Turns out? And I do think Pigott has a roll to play.

Howes, sub keeper is Byrne, do we really need 3 senior keepers?
Pigott, massive disappointment, probably loan him out is best we can do
Turns, not risen to the challenge this season
Hunt, 50/50 on this one, but think we can do better.

Would keep Hunt . Howes is OK so a decent back up keeper . Turns only on loan but now we have three permanent CB's . Do we still need him ? I doubt it . Thommo needs to at least go out on loan to get his match fitness back . He won't be getting that at Orient anytime soon . Moncs isn't cutting it for the money he's on . Maybe he needs a fresh start somewhere. Pigott has been a complete flop . He's supposed to be our number 9 yet I've seen nothing from him .

Thompson for sure, with Cooper coming in he won't be playing so needs to sort a move for the summer onwards

Moncur yes if there's an L2 side with enough dosh to pay his wages, a shame but the fitness levels just don't appear to be there for L1

Howes anyone know what's happened to him that Byrne is now the reserve keeper? Injury or no longer seen as good enough even as a reserve?

Pigott just isn't working out here, doesn't seem to fit the system but would club cut their losses so soon?

Hunt & Turns are part of the squad so would keep until summer

But in getting him now they are hoping they will be playing league one football next season. We both know Drinnan ain't the answer to that problem but if they really want to pay £50k then we will let them!

Personally I wish Aaron well wherever he ends up.
He was good enough in L2 but the team have moved on and we’re playing better quality opponents now and need some better quality.
While limited he always gave 100% and I hope he does well at Carlisle or wherever he ends up.
