I said previously I'd have kept him out on loan so as to help his development,

Instead our DOF decides I know what I'll stop his development, I wont let him stay there, play and learn, I'll call him back and won't put him near the first team.

Its just baffling and shows the lack of joined up thinking from the DOF once more.

It's getting on my nerves now.

Agreed.

Presumably the thinking was Hector was on the bench and they can’t have more than one kid.

Dayton was a waste of a sub.

Fair enough if he was ill today but we need to at least give him a chance having called him back from Dover.
On another subject, it’s looking bleak for James Alabi now, not on the bench today and surely on the move in January.

They can only move him on in January if he agrees to a move, be it a loan out or signing for another club.
So far looks like he did not want to take either of those options.

If any club shows interest in Alabi (either loan or permanent) then he would be a fool not to take it.

I think his contract at Orient is up at the end of the season and there’s no chance in hell he’s getting an extension.

Likely to struggle to even make the bench for the rest of this season so it’s not like he’ll be getting his name out there. Could find himself without a club and no interest from anybody in the summer of 2020.

At least if he goes out on loan he might get some games, and who knows even some goals which will boost interest in him when he becomes a free agent.

If a club actually offers him a permanent transfer with a contract then even better for him.

He’s barely a conference level player, although he might do a job in the conference South.
