Paudie O'Connor has been loaned to Bradford, Nessy has gone to Hearts and Coyle's loan to Fleetwood has been extended. 3 defenders down for the rest of the season at least.

If Bielsa wanted to use them this year, they wouldn’t be heading out again on loan!

We didn't have either Coyle or O'connor in the squad for the first 5 months anyway so I don't think they will be missed. And Shaughnessy hasn't been in many matchday squads this season
No way Coyle is in front of Ayling, Beeadi, Dallas or Shackleton for the right fullback spot, and I would rather see Hossanah and Gotts given a chance if we need to
And neither OConnor or Shaughnessy are in front of Janssen, Cooper, Halme, Beradi, Ayling (he played in a back 3 at Bristol City) or Phillips (he walks on water) for a centre back spot

Better to get them game time and check their progress at presesason.

Phil Hay is of the opinion this signals the end of Coyle's career with with LUFC, particularly as Shackleton is now ahead of him in the RB packing order.

I usually take Mr Hay's views with a large pinch of salt :)

Personally I am hoping that Shackleton has shown that he can take up the "Baker sized hole" in the squad. Don't see a need to go out looking for his replacement when we are already paying the wages of someone similar



Just saw that Yosuke Ideguchi may have to have cruciate surgery. Poor bugger
I would love him to do a Kilch, and be a revelation next season in our shirt. Seeing as we are ALWAYS on Sky TV we might as well get them transmitting it to Japan and giving us an even bigger fanbase. or maybe Rad's ElevenSport has the rights to Japan?

The whole Ideguchi saga has been completely bizarre from start to finish. Complete waste of resources and a reminder that while Orta is getting credit for one or two signings he has also brought some real rubbish onboard.
