Never said that Charnley would replace Bowen and judging by the lack of comment from other posters, it would appear that they understood

Slightly edited your post to remove the superfluous stuff but you DO say Charnley to replace Bowen. Please check what you type before posting if you don't like being "pulled" for it
You are indeed right as it does look like I meant Charnley to replace Bowen, but at the same time I suspect that most others knew what I was on about.
Anyone can support a team when it is winning, that takes no courage.
But to stand behind a team, to defend a team when it is down and really needs you,
that takes a lot of courage. #18thMan

My user name has NOTHING to do with what is posted. May I surmise that you are a lonely old tramp with no home from yours? No?!
Well stop with the accusations and face the fact your alt account was in such a rush to post, that sense and facts got in the way. Now I agree that you could decipher what he intended to write BUT that is not the point. Are we supposed to do the same with menpond as well as WW now? (and I hope this answers you cp and Josie)
If so, this site will become nothing more than pseudo-word games for the intellectually challenged

Thank You, cpwigan, Josie and indeed all others who understood what I was saying in regard to the problem of any club no longer having open age 'A' teams or a limited number of over aged players in a Under 21's team in order for 'future' first team players to get more experience and game time.
Getting this back on topic, I'm not sure if loaning out Hampshire would be the best idea. Surely with Bowen in his last year with the club it would be best to keep hold of him and start to blood him in the first team?
When Charnley went to HKR on loan we had plenty of cover on the wings so it was unlikely he'd get his chance, whereas I think it's highly likely that Bowen will need to be rested at some point next season and, apart from Hampshire, there's really no one to cover (over than maybe Sarginson or Tierney at a push).
Plus we still don't know whether or not Powell will excel at stand-off (presuming he's given that role of course) so he may be needed there.
