Has anyone else noticed how far apart, across the front line, Gaffney and Easter played. I commented on the separation at one point during yesterday's game, and a few minute later, to try and prove me wrong the guy next to me pointed out that the two were closer together. As he spoke, Easter gestured to Gaffney to move further apart. They must have spent the majority of the game never closer than 25 yards apart
it seemed to work well as they split the defence quite nicely and led to a half time sub in the O's defence.

Cambridge clearly don't want or need him so there's no real reason we can't extend his loan period, as I doubt many Div 2 clubs can contribute more to his wages than us who need another similar striker and he's clearly not up to playing at Div 1 level. if we don't sign then DC will have to find another gem.

"Lets hope Lincoln sign Blisset too"
Given he never starts. even plays?, I think you're expecting a bit too much with that suggestion?

Nah, no reason at all, I mean its not like he's scoring goals now, we havent lost since he's played and we're only 4pts above Cambridge in a play off spot that they want. In what possible way is it beneficial for Cambridge to let us keep Gaffney on loan? Shades of us lending Jamie Forrester to Lincoln in the promotion season where he was getting them goals and into a play-off spot, cant remember that going down well with the gas fans. At all.

Firstly I don't think we can sign him permanently unless Cambridge are prepared to write off nearly 200k,because we haven't got that sort of money and secondly would Cambridge either be prepared to sell or loan him to a play off competitor.Although I hear that Harrison is on the not wanted list of Dc so he may be shipped out for whatever we can get to free up some budget

As it Fees up whatever wages he's on and if we don't sign him we could just as easy sign another striker to score goals? As I said who'll sign him in Div 2 if we don't? Let's hope DC/NH have a bit more fight in them to try and sign him than posters who've given up already on him staying.

I haven't given up hope on him staying on loan, stranger things have happened. Permanent signing would be the one.

That's the gamble Cmabridge would have to take though, turn down our offer and then we could sign somebody even better, unfortunately after yesterday's goals we might now struggle to do that though!

If he didn't score 2 yesterday nobody would be that bothered if he went back,same as when Taylor got that hatrick everyone was going over the top saying next vardy etc if he doesn't score for another 2 weeks he will be sh** and we need a striker again ha I'm fickle too

My take on the situation is that Cambridge loaned Rory to get him up to speed. I can't see us extending the deal, although I really hope I am wrong. Cambridge have a big squad so I am sure they are looking to offload but surely Rory is someone they would keep, now he is fit and firing.

Depends, if they do have a big squad then maybe they have to get rid of some? They are doing quite good lately, so they must be happy with what they have. Why would they keep someone they have loaned out, and get rid of someone they decided to keep?
