Joe Riley to Swindon - Loan.

According to Nixons twitter, off to Swindon on loan, great move for all concerned, get him playing regularly, improve his fitness, then come back for the run in.

Atleast he isn't rotting with the development squad who are terrible..

As we've seen with eaves, a loan move can work wonders. Good luck to joe!

Great stuff, exactly what he needs.

If the option is to bring him back if we pick up an injury then it's good all round, though I would still have him at right back over ricketts.

Good move for Riley, hopefully he can impress there and come back stronger.

At last, some forward thinking ! We now have both first team contenders out and getting game time. Shows a radical change of thinking.

I still think he should be starting here

Agreed

I thought freeman was going to give all the first team a chance to play?

He's said so. which is probably why he's only making the odd change here and there. (yeah, I know its only 2 games :-) ) However, I don't think we'll see a radical change for his first away game, although I would expect to see Butterfield play a small part. Won't be easy for him as we all thought Pratley was useless, yet he played really well on on Tuesday. Its a fine balancing problem he has between the players, tactics, and our expectations. I wish him well

It's an utter disgrace tha Riley is being sent out on loan when we have the worst defence in England. He should be bloody captain.

The Swindon lads that I know, don't know anything about this.

It came from Alan Nixon on Twitter, the equivalent of someone starting a story with the words "according to a guy in the pub..............."

I know it came from him and you're right.

If you blindfold someone and give them a hundred darts to throw, then they'll get one in the board eventually.

sorry but thats bollocks.

He's been bang on with our transfer stories time and time and time again. Breaking most of them.

Yes, his source was coyle, so it wasn't that hard but he even broke the "MASSIVE" BN story the other day before they did.

Bollocks. He talks more shit than anyone, and is so vague on something he's like a modern day Nostradamus.

If true I don't fathom it either.

Riley looks to be our best right back ....based on the couple of games I saw.
