Quite a few issues raised here.
On squad size, I share BBTCs puzzlement about the numbers and funding. Micky has adopted a policy of minimal change, which means there are a lot of players who have had little opportunity and I don't see the need for such a big squad. The NL transfer window closes at the end of March, so until then, we can certainly deal at that level. Unsure if we released unwanted players from their contract, they could be snapped up by FL teams, but I don't see why not.
MM has indicated one of the factors on loaning Dunn was that he's a left-footed player, a scarcity in the current squad. It would concern me, as stated earlier in this thread if there was any requirement to play him in a certain percentage of games. Tried to get a sense of his loan time at Morecambe and opinion was mixed though broadly favourable on their board. This quote did raise an eyebrow though
"He's OK, but it's hard to believe he's from Liverpool and Stockton is from Tranmere."
4 goals in 10 games, loan spell ended early, doesn't suggest that he'll be streets ahead of others already here. I've never seen him play, but wish him well while on loan with us. However, when we've got 3 of last season's NL top scorers in our line-up, one of whom, Connor Jennings, Micky seems reluctant to give an opportunity to, I remain to be convinced.
Good news on the recruitment of Adam Buxton, who will give us much-needed cover across the back. If he looks the part and we go up, presumably a longer deal might be available.
Don't think Robinson was a consistent performer for Lincoln and their fans don't seem too disheartened about his departure
