not really a surprise - he's had very little game time recently and Birmingham will want him playing more.
I think Biggins may be the next one recalled - particularly now that Joey Barton has been sacked by Fleetwood.
That would give Jolley 3 extra squad places to fill with new recruits after the spots freed up by Jack Hindle and Reid.

Thought Reid should have played more looked lively when he did come on

Hindle and Reid gone so that leaves Sea and Biggins as only loan players left. I think Sea will definitely go back but Biggins is 50/50 for me but we will have at least 2 - 4 spaces in the squad freed up for any players Jolley wants to bring in.

Harrison Biggins has made 24 appearances for Barrow this season.
Why would Fleetwood want to recall him or Barrow send him back?

Sea is our player, not a loan. More likely he could/should be loaned to a National League side to get game time.

I’d be surprised if Biggins was recalled; he starts most weeks for us

Would imagine Sea will go out on loan and we’ll try get Gribbins wages off the books somehow.......

yes Biggins has started a lot for us - but new managers tend to look at the squad from a different perspective from the sacked ones - so the new Fleetwood guy may want to look at Biggins and evaluate him again.
Sea may well start on the bench in place of Reid in the short term - although that may change when Baker Richardson is fully match fit.

He's had 24 appearances because we've had Hardcastle and Mike Jones out for very long spells. We have re-signed Chris Taylor so now have Hardcastle, Mike Jones, Chris Taylor, Jason Taylor, Beadling, Biggins and Gribben and our central midfield is still the weakest part of the team. If we improve it by signing another decent midfielder which we certainly need we would have 8 midfield players which is at least 2 too many. A couple would need to go and as Chris Taylor has been re-signed one won't be him. That leaves 2 from Jason Taylor, Beadling, Biggins and Gribben and Biggins is the only one on loan who would be easy to move on.

Reid hasn’t been recalled
His loan expired and we haven’t extended it

Go back to where? He isn’t on loan.

Biggins is on a season-long loan. Unless he is recalled by Fleetwood or both clubs and player agree in writing to end the loan (which must be done during the transfer window) he will likely remain.
Don't let the old man in.

The new Fleetwood guy!
You mean Simon Wiles. I knew I shouldn't have released him from my cellar.
