Killian Phillips gone?
Ethan Erhahon has posted a ‘see you soon’ and tagged Killian in the post.
Given Killian wasn’t in our squad on Tuesday, does this mean he’s been recalled and reloaned out to Lincoln?
We’ve got a bit of a clear out on our hands here. Worrying.

Yeah, that doesn't sound good does it
The rumour thread confirmed the loan recall window had closed last week. Cloak and dagger stuff indeed. Young player of the year at Shrewsbury last year, not making it this year at struggling Wycombe. Has to be the player doesn't it? Doesn't it?
common theme with Blooms I am afraid
We could have signed Ethan Erhahon?
Nothing I can see in the EFL rules that there is a "loan recall window" apart from the normal winter transfer window. May be something particular in the specific loan agreement for the player but nothing general.
From my understanding, players can be recalled at any point during the transfer window. The "recall window" might be an unwritten wall so that the parent team might be able to find a new club for that player to go to.
Lincoln loaned out a player yesterday who had comparable positional coverage to Killian. They’ve also tweeted out an Irish flag today. A Lincoln fan on twitter has put all of that together and thinks they’ve signed Killian Phillips on loan. They didn’t even know Killian got dropped from our squad on Tuesday, which is even further evidence.
Going, going, gone? The only Lincoln post he’s liked
Football players and their cheeky socials. 2 + 2 scenario?
Given his recent lack of involvement I think he has gone, which is a shame as I think he is an extremely talented player. I don't think we ever quite found the system to make the most of him.
Maybe he was just playing the wrong sport?
The optics of losing 3 out of 5 loan players from the elite levels isn't brilliant is it? If Phillips has gone back after a successful season at this level last year that's quite an indictment.
The Couhigs should ask the management for an explanation for these failures.
Without getting too alarmist, has Bloomy been told to cut the budget? Assuming we've at least been paying some wages to these loanees?
Phillips was a strange player. Very committed and mobile, but not really a centre mid, not particularly creative and not a wide player.
A bit similar to Dale Taylor in not having a specialist position really?
I like(d?) Phillips, but struggled to identify which position he should take too. He had a great touch, but didn’t really seem to fit any of the places we played him.
He had incredible commitment though and playing for us really meant a lot to him.
What role / position did he play for Shrewsbury. I imagine that we recruited him on the basis of knowing he had a really good season for them and he was going to slot into that role.
If Phillips has gone it makes it even more important we sign another central midfielder. He isn't one but could at a pinch play there, and probably acquit himself better than Dale Taylor who was forced to play there on Tuesday.
Especially if we're also losing other players who don't feature highly in Matt's plans and weren't in the squad this week: Jack Young and D'Mani Mellor spring to mind.
Jack Young hasn’t gone anywhere (officially) has he? D’Mani is at Rochdale for the rest of the season.
If we are thinking that either of these are League 1 level, then we are kidding ourselves.
Young could be good enough based on the couple of games I’ve seen him play - 2 for Wycombe and one on the telly for Ayr, but that’s not really enough to know yet.
But in any event how could you possibly make a statement that he isn’t good enough based on the evidence available. We’ve barely seen him play.
Ah, I'd missed that Mellor news. Ta
He'll come in handy next year then.
Just kidding!!
Well obviously the current and past management agree that he isn’t up to it. Maybe a stint at Ayr will make a player out of him and we can then be the beneficiaries but right now he wouldn’t improve our team.
I've just come back from the future. Jack Young thrived at Wimbledon and they're asking two million for him.
I've just come back from the future and we still haven't won a game.
That made I laaarf! Mind you, I am on my 4th pint.
For the time travellers: How is the access motorway looking?
Never mind that. Is the leaking roof over Her Indoors’ seat in the Frank Adams fixed yet?
And the chairlift?
Access motorway!?
Let's see how the couple of hundred metre road works out first.
