useless Posted December 6, 2022 Share Posted December 6, 2022 I was surprised that Lindley got a loan to a side in the football league, not because I didn't think he was good enough but because he's a DM that's a good passer of the ball and has good workrate, but as a player keeps it simple, the type that often goes underappreciated, as a DM he also plays in a position where not many teams will risk playing an inexperienced youngster as well. I think Brad Young has been unlucky in that Ayr's main player has been Dipo Akinyemi, a centre-forward who has scored thirteen goals in seventeen appearances this season, top scorer in the division and also has five assists, so Young not getting into the team ahead of him, when he does play I think he's playing more out wide, to be fair he's scored two and assisted two in nine appearances in the Scottish Championship which isn't bad all things considered. Burton was always going to a difficult loan for Sinisalo as their defence is very poor, I remember looking on their fans' form at the start of the season and they were saying with their defence it didn't really matter how good he was or words to that effect, made me think we purposely sent him to a club where we thought he would get lots of practice, although hasn't quite worked out like that as hasn't been a regular for them, I think the club rate him highly though, Cutler did an interview a year or so back and said he was one of the best young goalkeepers in Europe, will probably be our No.2 in the not too distant future. I imagine there will be a few recalled in January, possibly including the three above, and then sent out to different clubs to try and get them more game time, and also a good chance that a few that didn't get loans in the summer will go out in January instead, Revan and Raikhy two that come to mind.

HanoiVillan Posted December 6, 2022 Share Posted December 6, 2022 Sinisalo seems like someone who we should maybe be loaning to the continent. Other clubs don't seem to have a problem with loaning outside the UK, but if we exclude players we've decided we don't want any more we never seem to do it. Maybe the Finnish league is cack, but is it much worse than League 2? Maybe a top Finnish team would be interested in having the country's possible future #1 as a goalie and he could get a season or two of first team football there, rather than hoping a manager sticks their neck on the line for him in the English pyramid.

useless Posted December 12, 2022 Share Posted December 12, 2022 On 28/11/2022 at 15:28, useless said: A lot of clubs who we sent players to have changed their manager since, Newport, Crawley, Burton, Huddersfield, Cardiff, Watford, and now looking like QPR as well, that's eight players now playing under a different manager than the one they signed for. MK Dons have sacked Liam Manning now, so eight of the clubs we've sent players to on loan at the start of the season have sacked their manager before Christmas. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

useless Posted December 27, 2022 Share Posted December 27, 2022 Ramsey has more goals and assists contributions for Norwich than any other player other than their two centre-forward's Pukki and Sargent. in October The Athletic did an article on him where it stated that he'd created more chances than any other Championship player in 'open play', I think he had the best assist ratio per ninety minutes at that point as well, he's since scored three goals for them since that article was published so it's not as if his form dropped since then. They would be pretty foolish to not want to keep him, they genuinely haven't got anyone any better in the creative positions, it's not just about his goals and assists either, I've watched them and they seem to play better with him in the team, I've noticed the same with England U19s as well, it's not necessarily that he's doing anything spectacular, but he seems a very mature player for his age, keeps the ball moving and more often than not picks the right pass, and he's more than capable coming up with moments of skill at the right time as well. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

useless Posted December 28, 2022 Share Posted December 28, 2022 I think any of Zych, Marschall, Feeney, Smith, Revan, Raikhy, Tommi O'Reilly, Bogarde, and Frith could potentially go out on loan in January, would have said Swinkels as well but seems he's had a long term injury.

useless Posted December 29, 2022 Share Posted December 29, 2022 Good to see Barry, Philogene, and Kesler-Hayden all starting today, Tyreik Wright also starts for Bradford. Reports from local press in Newport that they've send all three of their loans back to their parent clubs, including Lindley. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
