winchester_royal I realise that, but still, we might have kept him just in case there's an injury....especially now it seems that 4-4-2 is our favoured system.
I'm reasonably confident we will bring in someone.

winchester_royal Sometimes Snowball I think you argue just for arguing's sake....
Mooney is simply not a very good footballer. Coppell saw it, AND SIGNED HIM AFTER HAVING HIM SCOUTED
McD sees it, THIS THE McD WHO SCOUTED HIM?
and TBH presumably most other managers in the championship think the same, OR CAN'T/WON'T AFFORD HIM
as the best club willing to take him is Colchester United. THEY ARE THRILLED, APPARENTLY, AND THE FANS RATE HIM HIGHLY
1 goal every 2.5 games in League 1 is not a particularly good record, 9 IN 20.33 is closer to 1 in 2 games
and given that he offers very little else apart from poaching, I would suggest he is not that big a loss.
ACCORDING TO FANS HE IS BRILLIANT IN HIS LINK-UP PLAY AND NOT AN OUT AND OUT GOAL-SCOREREarlier in the season your main defence of Long was that McDermott was better qualified to make judgements than the rest of us, does that not still apply here?
Given we only have 3 fit strikers atm, if we thought he could have any impact at all in this league, we'd have kept him.

winchester_royal LOL. We were NOT under financial pressure to let David Mooney go to Colchester United on loan.

So teams in the Championship can't afford Mooney, but Colchester can?
Look at Mooney's stats in the league, for the last couple of seasons.
This season 18 starts, 2 sub appearances and only 4 goals. Worse than one goal every four starts.
In regards to 'Colchester fans really rating him,' not really sure where you have derived that from, Charlton fans definitely had mixed opinions on him. Besides it wouldn't be the first time where we'd loan players to league one where they've shone, and made no impact on our first team.
How people can't see the only reason Mooney isn't in our team, is because he isn't good enough, is beyond me.

No, Colchester have him on LOAN, maybe half or third wages (with his contract running down...)Look at Mooney's stats in the league, for the last couple of seasons.
Yeah, let's because you seem to have them wrong.This season 18 starts, 2 sub appearances and only 4 goals. Worse than one goal every four starts.
He has 9 goals in 20 (2). Of course you can be selective and ignore his cup goals, but you wouldn't do that...In regards to 'Colchester fans really rating him,' not really sure where you have derived that from, Charlton fans definitely had mixed opinions on him. Besides it wouldn't be the first time where we'd loan players to league one where they've shone, and made no impact on our first team.
Not sure where I read it right now, and off to the game so no time to look.
MANAGER: "There was plenty of interest from other clubs, but his family are very settled here so he was keen to stay. We are thrilled to bits to extend his loan."
THRILLED TO BITS is a bit more than the usual comment on a loanee. That suggests that to Colchester/The Manager keeping Mooney is a BIG DEALHow people can't see the only reason Mooney isn't in our team, is because he isn't good enough, is beyond me.
And we have NEVER made a mistake of letting a player go who then came good, have we?
Cox, Austin, Tyson 33 appearances 1 goal for RFC, better than 1 in 2 at Wycombe, now 34 in 172 apps at Forest. Who else? Is HRK next?

Royal Lady Didn't Mooney bang in a few goals whilst on loan to Norwich? They weren't League One.
