I think if we were really desperate we could recall Abdull (I know they've come out and said it's for the full year, but im sure I read on the rfls operational rules that players can be recall from loans once they've been gone for more than 28 days).

Hard to say about injuries, but I think we are as strong if not stronger this season in the forwards, ok we have lost Frank, but the likes of Masi, Turgut are a year older, stronger etc.

Pack will be fine, always a loan signing if we are struggling.

We want him to stay all season, rovers won't want him to leave if he's playing well, we won't want him back if he's playing badly, so I doubt there is a get out clause.
