Huddersfield clearly STILL do not know what they are doing, and even worse they have given ambitious Gillingham a player we will struggle against.

I don't understand the point of sending players out on loan and when they have done well at that level, deciding to let them go rather than finding out how they now fare with their own club.

Chesterfield have also done this with two players who did well on loan this time. The question is if you were convinced a year ago that you weren't going to renew their contracts, when didn't you go for a mutually-agreed release at the time?
