Ryan Loft, I assume? His career record reads 0 goals in 15 games.

One of your more sensible posts. As I said previously, in 14/15 every time Macdonald picked up even the slightest of knocks, Allen would bring someone in on loan.

Where is he now? Is he ex-Spurs?
If true, it does prove that DC is at least considering a loan from the Prem or Championship.

If we had Martin Allen in charge, he would have had his man in place on the first day of pre season because he wouldn't have taken no as an answer from TK.
.....who would have proven to be s**t or injured only to be replaced by loan in October. Akinde the exception

On loan at Carlisle. He signed for Leicester after being released by Spurs.

Shame about Loft - we need someone up top. Really lagging now - when we finally sign someone it’ll raise the roof around here

We'd all have felt it a cause to have re- joist and celebrated with a night on the tiles. Truss me.

Loft started as a midfielder but was converted into a striker.

Cannot believe supporters are still mentioning Martin Allen and think he should be brought back. How many times does someone have to walk out on you before you say enough is enough. TC cannot even consider Allen. Especially when we have a young hungry manager in Darren Curry.

I think unless someone is available who DC thinks is exceptional he will struggle on with the current players. Its a shame and I hope I am wrong as we desperately need a proper target man who can head the ball and is a threat at corners and free kicks.

Who has suggested MA? I haven't heard anybody suggest him.
He made a total mess at Chesterfield, I can't imagine anybody employing him again.

Never say never with MA and Barnet, we should all know that by now!
