Marvin's gone....again

Marvin has left the club. Thanks for your time here Marv.

Following upon the loan signing of Michael Kelly last week, Bristol Rovers have agreed to loan us young striker Rhys Kavanagh until 20th January 2018. Rhys signed for Rovers from Newport County in the summer to join their development squad and we thank their development coach, Chris Hargreaves, for helping to facilitate this move and welcome Rhys to Twerton Park.
Continuing our excellent relationship with local clubs, we have agreed with Bristol City an extension of the loan of Opi Edwards for a further month until 23rd January 2018. Opi has made an immediate impression on the fans during his short time here and once again we thank Brian Tinnion and the management at Bristol City for agreeing to this extension.
Moving on is Marvin Morgan, who left us in September following the departure of Gary Owers but returned shortly afterwards. We thank Marvin for his time at the Club and wish him well for the future.

Adios Big Marv, true Bath City cult hero ... Anybody know where the big fella is off to? (Chippenham Town are after a striker so I hear)

Rhys appears to be 18. He'll have his work cut out with some of the lumps at CB in this division.

Not surprised Marvin has gone. Jerry was lukewarm about him and he has a long way to travel for training etc. Apart from the Hampton game he has not replicated his early season form and indeed Hampton supporters were scathing about his time there.

I wouldn't take much notice of Hampton supporters if various other forums are anything to go by...

He'll be back.

Yes I suppose all Hampton supporters are the same....

More what he did for us, which was either sublime or shocking. This time round not such a loss with our new planned tactics. Can't imagine he'll be the last out, though at this rate we'll have more on loan than contract!
Can we only play or name five loanees?

Yes I thought there was a limit. We have edwards southwood kelly pierce and smith already.

My understanding is that you can only have 5 loanees on the field at any time. You can have more than 5 on the team sheet. Obviously you need to be able to count to five!

I think there might be some further leeway if any of the loanees are still classed as youth players, which could cover Opi and the new lad. This might be wrong though.
