Cheers. Loans coming thick and fast now - OP updated.

Who's next, I wonder? Samuels, Peupion, Offiah, Chouchane, Ifill - even O'Mahoney?

We definitely seem to have clubs that we have strong loan relationships with.

Blackburn, Northampton, Stoke, West Brom.

Never heard of 'im!

What sort of player is he? Hopefully he'll have the same impact as Marc Leonard did for us!

Many of our loanees' teams seem to be playing tomorrow or Monday. Today there are starts for:
Tom McGill (MK Dons);
Luca Barrington (Grimsby Town).

BBB not even on the bench for Port Vale (and neither is former Albion youngster Lorent Tolaj).
Moran on the bench for Stoke.

Edit: sorry, missed it before - Doyle is on the bench for Exeter.

 

[GT49er]

Moran (63 minutes) and Doyle (69) both make their debuts from the subs. bench.

Barrington subbed after 74 minutes.

Genuine question, is Tom McGill really only L2 level Thought he'd be in L1 at worst. National team and all that

He has never started an international match, only been in squads, for Canada (40th in Fifa rankings).

He has only played 2 league games in his career (both at L2 level).

It's not a very good national team, perhaps?

It may be that we previously set some of our loans too high - we had some pretty poor loans in League 1 last season, so possibly re-calibrating our sights in some cases? I don't know if any of that's the case - more I would guess it's a case of the development team assessing each player individually. MK Dons seem pretty pleased with McGill anyway, better than they had before.

Before joining MK Dons, his last senior appearance had been more than 3 1/2 years ago. I was actually surprised a League club came in for him.

BBB highlights from his first game for Port Vale. Abit weird that he wasn’t in the squad today as looks like he played well, and from what I’ve read Port Vale fans were impressed. Perhaps a knock?

I thought he was subbed off with a knock in their cup match in the week.

Those highlights are from said match, and having checked he was subbed at half time. So you’re probably absolutely right
