RoverCanada Posted November 14 Posted November 14 Aren't pretty much all of these Tier 7-8 loans essentially local loans too? I mean, do the players even move house? Given they're semi-pro outfits, isn't it simply a matter of joining their loan team for maybe 1-2 practices + 1-2 games a week for a month or so, while otherwise they're probably still staying at home and being coached by our Academy staff a couple days a week? I'm happy to be corrected! Can debate if it's a worthwhile level of football, but I don't see that much harm in a few games here and there against some adults. I'd be surprised if a few games with Bootle ever ruined a player's development... Frankly, in some cases, it may be more of a sign that the Academy player never had that much potential in the first place, so doing them a bit of a favour to see if they can at least hack it at the semi-pro level. Generally thinking there's a distinction between local youth loans and 'proper', 'character-building', 'learn pro football' loans (like O'Riordan, or what we would've hoped for with Olson's loan...) 1 Quote

I believe that is exactly the case, they can also still play for our U21s/U18s during this period too Quote

KentExile Posted November 15 Author Posted November 15 (edited) Starts this weekend for O'Riordan - lost 2-1 - played the full game - 5 Okoronkwo ghosted in to beat him for the opener. Some good forays forward when there was no other option on. Clearances and tackles aplenty. Fired over right at the very death Wood - lost 1-0 - played the full game Boggan - won 3-2 - replaced after 75 minutes whilst 2-1 up Wolsoncroft - lost 4-1 - played the full game On the bench Barrett - won 3-2 - remained on the bench throughout Edmondson - won 1-0 - Isuzu Cup, likely rested - came on after 64 minutes with the score at 0-0 Sergeant - drew 1-1 - came on at 60 minutes whilst 1-0 down - I caught the tail end of the commentary on their free online radio, they sounded impressed with Sergeant, although he was apparently offside quite a bit Not involved in matchday squad Olson & O'Grady-Macken - drew 0-0 Farkas - lost 1-0 Edited Tuesday at 17:52 by KentExile Quote
KentExile Posted Tuesday at 17:48 Author Posted Tuesday at 17:48 (edited) Farkas', Boggans & Sergeants games this evening have been called off. Edmondson is unsurprisingly not involved for Macclesfield in their Cheshire Seniors Cup game Edited Tuesday at 18:48 by KentExile Quote
