Lee Cox goes to Stevenage on loan

[Pilgrim Joe]

Confirms he won't get a chance here.

Strange as he's better than some ahead of him, especially given our current form and injuries.

Oh well good luck to him

...or preparing to get a short term loan in ourselves?

The deadline's now passed, there's a chance we've signed someone and not yet announced it, but otherwise we're stuck with what we've got until January.

How has it closed if Cox moved on loan today?

it closed at 5pm today. :facepalm:

Having not read any articles today, I was just wondering. :facepalm: :facepalm: :facepalm:

It seems Cox has been out of favour with DA for whatever reason. If he wasn't going to get in the team with both McHugh and Boateng out, and being replaced by two loanees in Simpson and Threlkeld, it makes sense for him to get some game time elsewhere. My only concern is that this leaves us a little thin in central midfield.

Meanwhile Oxford have brought in Jordan Evans from Fulham and Chirs Maguire from Rotherham today; they're certainly not holding back.

 

[Green Rhino]

Maybe DA has got someone or two lined up for the transfer window...

 

[Cult Of Personality]

Very disappointed that Cox was not given a chance and poweder puff players like Simpson still playing

Need that ball winner

 

[kernow19]

However, we did bring in Walton and Croll last week and maybe we need to balance the books.

^^^^^^^ this ^^^^^^^

Good luck to Cox but it does mean we are down to the bare bones for the Dagenham game, especially if Threlkeld is missing.

Cox isn't cup tied so will get an extra game under belt when Stevenage play Yeovil next week in the FA Cup.

Oxford have a bigger budget than us tbf. Also Simpson isn't on loan.

 

[Metal Green Mickey]

I tell you why I find it baffling apart from being down to bare bones. Until January 2nd 2016 we have another 5 league games / 15 points.

Simpson doesn't appear the type to get your foot in. Maybe they feel with the Bolton lad he can do the same type of job. He certainly likes a tackle from what I have seen of him. I just think we need more of a "presence".

 

[Presto]

Adams spends all day every day with the squad training and sees the chosen squad every match day. We the punters turn up at very best once a week and for most every other week. So it seems not unreasonable to assume that he has reasonable grounds for letting Cox go on loan. Given our overall performance and standing so far this season I know whose judgement I prefer to back.

 

[Pettgreen]

Also we don't know whether it's a case of him going out to get match fit? Or just sharp? Or that he is actually surplus to requirements.
DA hedging his bets just in case we don't get Boateng back for the 2nd half and we have a match sharp player to come back in?
In the management we trust. Been doing alright so far.

 

[robinsonm87]

Always liked cox as a player. Good ball winner and can get around the pitch well.must be on a decent wage tho. Not playing at all so free's his wage up

 

[X Isle]

This initially for me...

I don't get it myself either.

Fine you don't rate the guy. Yet knowing that Boateng is out for while, Threkeld got a nasty knock on Tuesday, McHugh only just coming back from injury then he doesn't make sense to me. At least he would have been an option for us.

However, we did bring in Walton and Croll last week and maybe we need to balance the books.

But my view was then balanced by this which I can't argue against...

[Tugboat]

Bizarre move for me.

A very small squad just got smaller. Cox on the bench is a very nice option to have and to send him out could only be on financial grounds which is equally alarming.

Only time will reveal the real reasons but I just hope that he has a recall clause in his deal incase we have any more injuries
