Loan Watch 2023/2024

Big jump from National League to League 1. Hope he does well, very promising that he's been picked up by a club at that level.

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

Just looking at Northampton, they've swapped between Lee Burge (ex-Cov and Sunderland, not very good) and a 19 year old (Max Thompson, signed from Newcastle's Academy) through the season. 34 conceded between them which is the second most in the top half. Doesn't look like they have a nailed on #1 so I assume they're bringing him in to play.

Sounds like a great opportunity for him, hope he does well.

 

[Tony Towner]

Not great keeping for the goal they conceded last game(at the very end)

It seems we are being much more pro-active in managing our loan players.

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

Or we picked the wrong club for them to start with.

Less so with Moulden as Football League clubs won't take a chance on a very young keeper with virtually no senior experience (he now has that with Dale) but we shouldn't have been sending Campbell to Charlton as they're a basket case and have been for 15 years or more. We also clearly didn't get any of Pond, Griffiths, Tipton or Roberts right.

I wonder if that's why we're loaning out Hesketh and McCleod to actually play men's football, albeit at a lower level. I guess the thinking being that they'd be used to the increase in physicality of playing with actual grown men and therefore more ready for L1 / L2 football.

I guess the question is bad loans, or bad players? (Relatively speaking)

I think we rushed through Pond and Griffiths (they played for the first team with less than a week of the window to go) which was needless, I wouldn't lend Walsall anything with their track record.

Do we know much about Moulden in terms of how good he is? I’ve got a mate who’s a big Northampton Town fan asking me!

 

[Elephant Pyjamas]

He's got a few assists this season 3 or 4 I think. So his distribution must be good.

6 assists!

He can cunt it a long way

That is mental.

Joe Young's gone back to the sixth tier by joining Buxton until the end of the season. Made his debut and had a solid game in a 1-0 win at Chester last night.

Fabio Silva played 64 minutes in a 2-2 friendly draw with FC Copenhagen at Ibrox.

For those without twitter. Sasa ended his session early as a precautionary measure

 

[Elephant Pyjamas]

I like that the translation suggests he cycled to the changing room

 

[Sedgley Wolf]

Chiquinho played 68 minutes of last night's 2-1 defeat at home to Braga and picked up a booking.

Looks like a key attacking player now: started by swinging in a dangerous left-footed cross from the right which was met with a header that the keeper did well to keep out, then he had a great curling effort pushed away.

Was sacrificed for a more defensive player while Fam were 1 up, only for them to chuck the lead away and lose it

Good to hear, the first half of his season was worrying.
