July '11 - Dec '11
This transfer period has been generally quiet, however Chelsea and Liverpool have been monitoring JordanK and have both made bids for the young striker, which were accepted by Nottingham Forest, but each time he opted to sign a pre-season contract with Forest...this has now been 4 times that he'd prefer to stay than go to a top team. Kieran Lynch, whilst helping the Scotland U21 squad try to qualify for the U21 Championships has torn a hamstring in August keeping him out of action for 2-3 months. As we just about get into January, Ashley Baldry broke his leg in a match against Bournemouth and is out for 4-5 months.
In terms of 1st team appearances, Sidney Leigh has again played mainly for the youth team but has started one match for Wolves, as has Andy Smith for Birmingham. Kieran Lynch is still waiting for his league debut for Liverpool as well as Joe Millar for Aston Villa and Pele Two for Bolton. JordanK has featured in 13 games for Nottingham Forest's first team, which includes one goal. Out of the three goalkeepers, Blake has made the best debut by only conceding two goals for Burnley, whilst Junior is yet to start this season. Danny Newton though seems to now be 1st choice keeper for Middlesbrough as he has played in cup and league a total of 21 times, only conceding 24 times and keeping 3 clean sheets. Greg is still playing for Bari U20's and Ashley Baldry had played 14 times for Sheffield Wednesday before he got the injury keeping him out for the rest of the season.
