Good luck Jack.

I wonder if this is just about giving a player the game time he needs. With a recall clause, in case we need him

I get that he's a Notts player, but I don't like when we recall players from a loan spell just for cover and never make use of them. If he's good enough, give him some time like others get but if it's solely a last case scenerio then I find the whole recalling to be to be pointless. We did it with Junior Morias, and that never made sense. It's best to allow these types of players to move on.

There are exceptions to that I think @Chris 

At Altrincham, he wasn't playing at all. He might as well be with us. With this one, might it be possible that all of Palmer, Norburn and Robertson are unavailable at some stage going forward. Not beyond the realm of possibility, given their histories, I'd say. That'd have to be a recall, and I think bench counts as being used.

Still young and improving. The basics are in place - so, I see potential in him. He has talent and vision/awareness.

I’d like to see him get some game time on loan and he could be a handy squad player next season, even if we go up.

If he does well elsewhere & we get a decent offer, then we have the option to cash in. Thus, good move all round in my view.

His contract ends in June

@theAnticlough

I've got a feeling Jack may leave on a free in the summer especially if Notts are promoted. He's well down the pecking order unfortunately. I think that if York get promoted Stuart might want him there. He did seem to have more confidence in Jack.

What I took from the presser today, and MP leaves you guessing, is that when he spoke about "being fair' and 'honest' is that the released list has already started.

Maybe MP concluded that he'd go to Hall, Tangen or Bennetts in CM (if the other 4 are injured) before he'd go to Hinchy. Hinchy has to play and put himself in the shop window for his next cotract because his time at Notts is over. That's how I read it, anyway.

I agree with @theAnticlough even when he was recalled from his first loan spell after Palmer's injury and then Robertson's if felt like that was the most obvious pathway for him to get into the team but it didn't happen. I can't see him being here next season but I hope he does well at Wealdstone.

I agree with @menzinho - if Hinchy could hardly get a game during an injury crisis, when exactly is he going to play? Especially with the arrival of Tangen, who has spent much of his career playing in his position. Hinchy needs to play regularly to improve, but just isn't good enough to hold down a place ahead of Plamer, Robertson and Norburn. Catch 22. Hope he does well at Wealdstone but I think this is the end of him at Notts.
