This just emphasises how wrong Taylor & Solly are. I just want to erase the pair of them from our history! Whatever happens to us this season, the players that pull on the shirt for the remaining 9 games, I will always hold in high regard. Especially the loan players.
Brilliant news for two reason. One Sam Field is an excellent player at this level. Two means we can rotate Pratley out of matches with his crazy schedule coming up.
That’s without Smith, and of course the youngsters of Morgan, Doughty, Lapslie, Davison.
What a shame about Taylor, Solly, and Davis. We really would have an excellent chance of staying up if Taylor just put the club and his contract first. Now, I would say we have a good chance, because Field is right, it’s in our hands.
I remember Field's debut for us, at home to Forest last season - for me, our best performance of the season (at least for 60 minutes).
Really impressive, broke up play, very tidy passing and gave Oztumer a platform to perform. Once he was subbed after an hour, we fell apart and conceded the midfield to Forest.
He was very highly rated at West Brom, loaned to us to get playing time but especially because of Bowyer's reputation of improving players - no one foresaw that his season was to be blighted by injury.
He's still only 22, younger than Cullen for example, and just needs to play to improve. Not surprised he got some game time in the Prem yesterday.

The comparison with Taylor and Solly is inevitable but wrong.
Field has a contract after this season with West Brom, Taylor has the promise of a contract if he's fit, not sure what Solly has.
I think Taylor and Solly should play but I'm thinking like a fan not like an employee.
We seem catered for in defensive midfield, but could really do with Leko back...
Allows us to have a team/squad of:
Matthews Lockyer Sarr Purrington
Field
Cullen Forster-Caskey
Williams
Green Bonne
Amos, Pearce, Oshilaja, Page, Pratley, McGeady, Oztumer, Aneke, Hemed

Welcome back Sam
Dillion-Doughty-Sarr-Lock-Matthews
Cullum-Field-Williams
Green-Bonn-Mcgredy
Not a bad team that
And attitude spot on.
Pleased for him that he can now say he's played at the highest level. He always gave us 100% when he did play.

Rotten luck
QPR midfielder Sam Field has been ruled out for up to four months after being told he will need knee surgery.
Field, 23, was hurt in training and scans show he has torn the medial collateral ligament in his left knee.
Field moved to Rangers on a permanent basis from West Bromwich Albion for an undisclosed fee in May.

Wonder if it's the same knee.
