    Says a huge amount about the shit show we are when Barnsley are seen as better for his development than a club in the same league 10 minutes down the road from him

    We probably need to bring in 7 or 8 players just to change the mentality around the players. (Not saying that is going to happen). No doubt that confidence (of all players) is on the low side. So if he needs to go to free up a squad place then fine.
    He’s u21 so he doesn’t take up a squad place.

    Barnsley are a very stable club with good owners who have a vision. Plus they are at the right end of the table fighting for promotion.

    At the moment Barnsley are everything we are not and if I was Palace I would be getting this kid away from us ASAP

    Sorry to see him go, But we are in such a mess, i bet he breathed a sigh of relief to get away. 

    Good luck JRS

    I won’t miss him, he is nowhere near the finished article plus he has missed some sitters this season including that diabolical penalty against Brighton.

    We cannot afford to carry any player at the minute, and that includes our own kids as well not just loans

    Watch him shine at the Valley on 14 January when Barnsley visit.

    Oh yea of little faith, our super duper new left back signing won’t let him have a kick 😉.

    Will be interesting to see how he does at another club. There's definitely a player there but his decision making and finishing need to become more consistent.

    As for us, I think we'd struggle to upgrade in his position with the funds available.

    No great loss in my opinion , as long as we get in another option to replace 
    Isn't that what we said regarding Washington? 

    Yeah, that worked out great.........

    I know a youth coach at Palace. They’re really concerned that his development has stalled with us and he only really went to us in the first place because of Ben Garners reputation with them.

    Ultimately losing him means we’re left with Kirk, DJ and CBT as wingers which is a disaster in a relegation battle.
    We're going to be playing 352, we don't need wingers.

    How much have we got available to spend then?

    He has gone backwards with us so a no brainer to recall him. And I doubt we will miss him as he only keeps CBT out of the side who is a better bet for us at the moment IMO.

    5 goals 3 assists think he’ll be missed in a team where the leading scorer only has 6 goals

    Yes, but he came in looking like he knew where the goal is and will be leaving looking like he has forgotten.

    I feel that his finishing has gone downhill is a slight bit of a fallacy. Was it all the way back after the Wycombe game that Garner mentioned how he was not to concerned about JRS finishing because he is ‘always in good positions’.

    Indeed JRS has scored more goals (one more) in the latter 12 games he played than the first. 

    If we don’t replace him with quality we will be far worse a team for it.

    Each to their own but I can't believe some seem non-plussed about his potential recall. He has been one of our best attacking players this year, he's not the finished article and has missed a few sitters but that's one of the reasons he's on loan to us. If he was the finished article he'd be playing for Palace or in the championship.

    Ive genuinely lost track of how many times our best players have left and people seem to think we can do much better, there bang average etc. Time and time again we just end up replacing them with inferior dross.

    If we can replace Rak-Saki with someone better than great but I'd be shocked if anyone comes in who does any better than he has.

    Bye Jes. You were a very brief breath of fresh air before being thoroughly Charltonized. All the best.

    Not bothered if he goes but you know Thomas can only afford to replace him with Mrs Miggins and she has to clean the bogs out at half time….

    One of the few we have that can actually do something with the ball. He's been pretty poor recently but doubt we'll replace with better and will probably see more of Charlie Shirk.

    I think this is ultimately the main point. He's too soft to play as a striker and he's not a wing-back. I don't think he really fits into the team anywhere else. Now whether we should be playing 3-5-2 with our squad is a different question but it looks like we are, so little point in him being here

    I wasn't that bothered with Washington leaving as long as we replaced him. If JRS is replaced with a half decent striker it would be good for us I think. If not, of course it weakens the squad.

    Not his fault he has been playing in a really poor team.
    With better players around him he will develop into a decent player definitely he will be good enough for the championship. 
    I hope we can bring in a decent replacement and with him well wherever he ends up.

    We could’ve played Mansfield ahead of him and got exactly the same return imo.  He may go on to have a career, but I’ve seen so many of his type of player over the years, rarely do they go on to do anything

    DJ isn’t a goalscorer, he doesn’t regularly get in the box in the way JRS does.

    More often than not, the incoming players [assuming there are any] are worse than those we offload.

    That’s our reality

    I reckon their goal contributions wouldn’t have been far off.  Same for Kirk and CBT

    I honestly cant believe that some people dont think we would miss JRS. Alot of times this season he literally has been our only threat
