But the first thing I think we, we need to address is Indomitable Mustapha no longer with an athletic player on loan from Crystal Palace.

Yes.

Mustapha be a reason.

Very good, Paul.

It must...

Something's gone on there though, hasn't it?

[laughs]

Somebody was saying that he's been offered a contract at Notts County, so I don't know if it's because he's been offered something permanently.

It's an odd one for me being announced in the squad and the squad numbers and then suddenly next day gone.

It does open the door for another loan.

Well, say it opens the door.

We've only got one player in on loan and we can have up to five in our match day squads.

There's room in there for, uh, additions, and the big rumor is Reggie Walch, which we thought was off after being on earlier in the core season.

It looks like it's back on again.

I mean, there's a lot of press talk about him joining us, and I wouldn't be surprised if he's, uh, not been training with us today.

If you listen to Gary Caldwell, I know we'll refer to this a few times probably because he's been really good on BBC Boat Tonight.

One of the callers asked him directly, were we bringing in Reggie from Chelsea? And Gary very quickly quipped, "I don't know what you're talking about, about any Chelsea player," which is just like him, isn't it, to make a little bit of a joke of it.

So I thought that was interesting.

Charlie, in fact, asked Gary on, on caller on that program about loan signings, saying that we'd had nine two seasons ago and pretty similar last season I think.

And at the moment obviously only two loan signings.

One of those in fact was Mustapha asking him why we're not having it anymore and he said he's not ruling that out.

It could be a possibility.

We definitely need more firepower up front.

Let's wait and see.

And he also said before the end of the week hoping to bring more signings in before Saturday.
