With David Kitson, Danzelle St.Louis-Hamilton, Michael Tonge and Nathaniel Wedderburn all returning to Stoke and Richard Cresswell essentially a Sheffield United player there was just Tom Soares, who has extended his loan at Sheffield Wednesday for another month, and the defensive duo of Ryan Shotton and Carl Dickinson, both at Barnsley until the end of the season, who are now out on loan.
Tom Soares
Played the entire 90 minutes as Wedensday crashed out of the FA Cup, losing 2-1 at home to Crystal Palace in front of just 8,000 fans. Ex-Potter Clint Hill scored an own goal toput Wednesday on the board.
Carl Dickinson & Ryan Shotton
Both played the full 90 minutes on their return to the Tykes as they succumbed to a 1-0 defeat away at fellow Championship side Scunthorpe in a Yorkshire derby.
