Loan Watch 2023/2024

[Tony Towner]

If that's not with an obligation then it's strange

 

[Kenny]

Liam just says loan. No option or anything.

Chiquinho with a goal and assist for Familicao so far in their game tonight. I'd kinda forgotten about him tbh.

Same! Hopefully he can have a strong second half of the season.

NEW: Stoke covering more of Cundle’s wages than Plymouth and head coach Steven Schumacher played a big role in taking the midfielder to Stoke.

If all goes well with his loan, a permanent move could be made in the summer. #wwfc https://t.co/m4xbpRUuRg

More? Wow, amazed we were subsidising in the first place

Weekend round-up.

Luke Cundle - Plymouth Argyle, Championship

Got a goal, assist, and MOTM performance in a 3-1 cup win over Sutton in which he played the full game. The goal was a decent finish from close range while his assist was a great through ball to round off the scoring.

Goal at the start:

Dexter Lembikisa - Rotherham United, Championship
Played 81 minutes of a 1-0 defeat at Fulham in a much improved team defensive performance.

Ki-Jana Hoever - Stoke City, Championship

Played the full game of a 4-2 cup defeat at home to Brighton. Played a part in the move for the first, but let Pedro in front of him for Brighton's 4th.

Louie Moulden - Rochdale, The National League
Played in the 2-0 win at home to Kidderminster for his third clean sheet in 5 games.

Chiquniho - Famalicao, Portuguese Primeira Liga
Played 73 minutes of a 2-2 draw at home to Chaves, scored the opener and set up the second. His goal is worth a watch: a sweetly-struck half-volley after battling to keep hold of the ball. Had an overhead kick disallowed for offside straight after as well.

Assist and goal one after another from 45 seconds in:

Daniel Podence - Olympiacos, Greek Super League
Played 84 minutes of a 2-1 defeat at home to AEK Athens.

On as sub: Owen Hesketh came off the bench for the last 15 minutes in a 2-0 defeat for Kiddy at Rochdale. Ethan McLeod came on after 59 minutes for Alvechurch and helped them grab an equaliser to make it 2-2 at Barlow.

Not in squad: Campbell.

No game: Silva, Corbeanu, Bolla

 

[YoungWolf]

Disappointed to not be hearing of another Moulden assist

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

Kidderminster have sacked their manager, hopefully that doesn't wreck Hesketh's loan.

 

[Tony Towner]

Lembikisa recalled. Can't be game time so I'm guessing his confidence is shot because their fans hate him so we are protecting him

 

[Carrotdude]

Do they hate him because he’s been rubbish?

 

[Kenny]

Started quite well for them but they are at the arse end of the table so I guess their fans are just annoyed in general.

Been a few errors that have led to goals and that won't help their mood

 

[Tony Towner]

Do they hate him because he’s been rubbish?

Yes. Can't defend and lacks effort are the harsher criticisms. Wrong defensive system and needs to play for a front foot team the kinder.

 

[Carrotdude]

From the little I’ve seen of him he does seem to have quite a ‘lazy’ style about him - I don’t think it’s an effort thing but it can come across that way. Maybe better as an attacking wing back than a full back?

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

He's a better like for like back up for Semedo than Doherty is.

 

[Dire Wolf]

He's a better like for like back up for Semedo than Doherty is.

You're a better like for like back up to Semedo than Doherty is.

 

[Sedgley Wolf]

Shame because he was part of a decent defensive performance at Fulham in the cup. But yeah, the general mood around him seems very negative.

 

[AndyWolves]

He was a kid who need to be taken out of the firing line for a few games but i don't think that ever happened, probably because Rotherham didn't have anyone else who could play RB

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

Think Rotherham have recalled a RB now who was on loan at Peterborough.

 

[Lycan]

I've seen Lembikisa linked elsewhere in the Championship (can't remember where) so I'd imagine he'll be going out on loan again.
