bannedfromHandV Posted December 7, 2020 Share Posted December 7, 2020 Vassilev’s loan looks to be going well then....unless he’s injured of course? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe Vassilev, Clarke & Guy are all injured, but I can't find anything to confirm. Vassilev's loan hasn't gone well prior to injury either.

lexicon Posted December 8, 2020 Share Posted December 8, 2020 It's sad to see Vassilev's loan going poorly - it's not looking like he'll make it, as things stand. From his limited exposure in the first team, he looked like a deer in headlights most of the time - the pressure of the situation just being a bit too much for him. I was hoping that it'd pass, but I guess that with each game that it doesn't, it just seems to get worse. You compare that to Ramsey, who just slotted right in and looked the part, and you can see the difference quite clearly IMO. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
useless Posted December 8, 2020 Share Posted December 8, 2020 I think Ramsey is probably a better player than Vassilev, but Ramsey going to a team challenging for promotion and Vassilev going to a team battling relegation probably makes a big difference as well. Would have been very hard for Ramsey to have made the same kind of impact for a struggling Burton side, maybe he wouldn't have scored for them as they're not as good as an attacking team as Doncaster, and people's perception of how his loan went would be completely different, similary if Vassilev had have gone to a better side that liked to attack then he might be doing better now and seen in a more positive light. Whether or not Vassilev will end up being good enough for us I don't know, but I think he's probably better than his curren loan is suggesting, and to be fair to him before his injury he was at least getting regular game time, so must have been doing something right. If he we couldn't find him a better league one side then maybe he would have been better off going to a league two side likely to challenge for promotion, playing in a team that's going to be attacking a lot, Archer is probably getting more benefit playing for Solihull in the non league than he would at a struggling league two team. We probably could do with a loan manager as was suggested a few weeks back, to help with finding the right kind of clubs for our individual players. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

useless Posted December 8, 2020 Share Posted December 8, 2020 Yes and finding better clubs for our youngsters, I don't think necessarily has to mean finding them clubs higher up the football pyramid, main thing is finding somewhere where they can settle and with a team that's going to play to their strengths, also where they're actually going to be needed from time to time. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kidlewis Posted December 8, 2020 Share Posted December 8, 2020 There needs to be a much better affiliation with smaller clubs, perhaps even playing our youngsters a level below where they could to get time but having enough gravitas to help that smaller club but mandate the players need regular game time. the alternative is for bigger clubs to hoard players and not let them out which helps no one. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hornso Posted December 10, 2020 Author Share Posted December 10, 2020 Been searching Facebook/Twitter for some help on info. Thanks to the admin of Walking Down a Brownstown Road, Ben Guy broke his knuckles in the first league game of the season and hopefully will be back soon. Still waiting to hear back from some Yeovil Town fans in regards to Jack Clarke. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

useless Posted December 10, 2020 Share Posted December 10, 2020 This quote from the Burton manager, in the Birmingham Mail, make it sound like form rather than an injury is the reason for Vassilev's recent absence from their squads... '"I can’t argue with his effort or his attitude," Buxton said of Villa's teenager. "He has been top drawer. He got himself in a little bit of a rut in terms of form, in terms of not quite being at it. It’s his first loan, he’s still a young lad and he’s going to have dips. But he’s coming out of the other side of it and this week, he has been at his brightest for two or three weeks. If he carries on like that, he will get himself back in the squad." 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Got another message from the Portadown Facebook group Quote Ben Guy was due back last week after getting his stitches removed however when the surgeon was checking the finger he wasn’t happy so Ben had had to go in for a second operation today, we don’t have a time scale for him returning but I’d be very surprised if it was before mid January at the least. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
