If we can't buy any of the loanees

then Roeder has to think carefully (as I'm sure he will) about what he does regarding selections for the rest of the season.

Once we have secured our Championship status do we continue playing loan players who will never join us permanently, in order to gain the highest league finish possible, or do we give experience to players who will be with us long term?

Of course, if there is a chance of a play-off place he just keeps on playing what he considers his best eleven from ALL those available.

Whatever Roeder decides doesn't really bother me..he's turned the team around and deserves great support from all of us.

Whatever happens there looks like being lots of signings in the summer. If by some miracle we did get promotion through the play-offs Palace style it wouldn't be much different from most recently promoted clubseven if we did lose all the loanees and have to start again because that's what most teams do anyway, i.e. jettison those that have got them up (Eddy, Malky, Iwan) and start again.
