as you say Marshall, McDonald, JBrown, Watson and Hutchinson would all be likely have contracts terminated to bring in new players if we can

No one was saying that. And I’m pretty sure you’ll find no one can just terminate a contract other than gross misconduct.

It was shorthand for paying up their contracts and releasing them, which happens frequently in football. Which would free up numbers to allow new players to come in who would be starters. 

Obviously it's sickening to consider it, but if the EFL won't allow us to add numbers to the squad, the only option is to lose those players not contributing to make room for others who would. Brutal.

But a lot needs to happen first before that can even be considered.

Not happening. You simply can’t do that without the player agreeing. It’s a legally binding contract that can only be terminated by mutual consent, no matter whether you offer to pay it up on full or not.

You can extend existing contracts under embargo, you just can't sign new players. So Baldock and Jagielka should be able to stay with us for the rest of the season as long as wages are below the limit.

It'll be interesting to see which route we take if we're still under embargo next summer. Only Bielik, Bird, Knight, Sibley and Jozwiak who are contracted beyond that.

We could not extend Marriott's under embargo

Is Reece Hutchinson who’s on the bench tonight the one who was/is at Burton? Has he joined permanently or just on trial, do we know? 

Yes, that’s him.

As R. Hutchinson will count as a player of professional standing because of his appearances for Burton Albion, I assume we can’t sign him whilst we are under the current transfer embargo restrictions.

If it was 5-4 either way neither side could complain. Charlton have had as many opportunities as we have even if ours have maybe been a little more clear cut. The games wide open although we do look the more in control - which is to be expected given the more experienced lads playing and the difference in academy status
