Couple of points here ...
(1) Didn't we have to pay something to Barrow for Reynolds? I'm sure I read something that there'd be a small fee involved because of his age and because he was offered terms again up there. If we have forked out and then lost him after a couple of games it doesn't really make much sense.
(2) OK, Dickinson wants to find a club nearer to home. I understand that and if I lived in Middlesbrough I wouldn't want to be driving solo down to Lincolnshire two or three times a week. But tell me again where Marrs lives? If we've now got two players coming from the same sort of area wouldn't Dickinson have been better off staying for a few more weeks, sharing the travelling and seeing how things went along?
