What's happened with Kirby?
According to John Laidlar site, as he was on loan, he's probably gone back to his parent club Accrington.

Surprised at about 5 of the squad,  2 in a good 3 not so

What's happened with Kirby?

Signed a contract with Harrogate - not surprised really.

Accrington was Ogle, Kirby was from Harrogate

I liked Kirby and wouldn't be surprised to see him back.

Seconded, I wouldn't have minded Ogle signing but not devastated not to either, given the options we have there (given Senior has signed on, and hopefully Connor will have a slightly less injury-hampered season as he's been great).

If I had to pick one loanee from last season it would definitely be Kirby, to be Moult's 'legs' in midfield - even moreso given the loss of Ali Smith - so I'm hoping we're the club in question.

I can't help but feel that we will require a better quality of player than Kirby to replace Smith if we are to have any chance of not becoming embroiled in a struggle to avoid relegation.

Personally, I don't see Kirby as a replacement for Smith. I see him.more as a defensive midfielder.

Personally we need better than Ogle and Kirby.

Losing Smith is a killer.

If we don't replace Smith adequately, and get another striker in, I've got a sneaky feeling it's going to be a very difficult season.
I'm not a genius and if I can see that I'm confident the management team can too.
I'm convinced they know what we need and are doing all they can to find solutions.

Very much agree. Also a tad concerned about the LB position.
