The preference is for Valdimarrson or Cox to be the one to get first-team minutes elsewhere. Brentford chiefs pulled the plug on Balcombe’s season-long loan at St Mirren earlier this month in order to explore options for Cox and Valdimarrson. St Mirren had also been working on signing a new goalkeeper, which may have put Balcombe’s regular game time at risk if he had stayed.
