God help us when Phillips and Clarke go back!

The thread title says it all really. I hope Wilson has a plan 'B' for when these guys go back to Blackpool!

He had the money to pay for their loans so he will have it to spend on others.

My prediction - Phillips will go back, Clarke will stay until January.

I think that's a fair shout.

Can't be bothered to work it out but I think we were actually doing better before they came.

We are scoring more goals with them, but not actually accumulating more points. It would be harsh to say the latter was as much down to them as the former. However, we did spend a lot of time bemoaning the number of chances and our inability to convert them before they came, so maybe the loss of their influence won't need the intervention of the Almighty after all...

When do they actually go back? The slide in conceding seems to have started when Williams came in to the side. Coincidence?

We can probably break down the season into 3 sections:

1. prior to our first defeat P7 W5 D2 L0 pts 17
2. the bad middle period: P4 W1 D0 L3 pts 3
3. The Blackpool loan period P5 W2 D3 L0 pts 9

If you divide it up into pre and post Blackpool loan, we were getting and average of 1.8 points both before and after.

It is atonishing though that after playing less than 5 games Phillips is now our league top scorer with 5 goals.
