Loan Report

Re: Loan Report

I have no idea what to do with Ryan Wintle, every time I write him off, he has a world-class performance, then he turns to utter crap again. I don't really have much faith in him as a permanent CDM. Probably a sell, but there's a chance he could win me back like Rinomhota has this season.

Apparently King has been getting rave reviews out of Stevenage, so I'll be looking forward to seeing him in the first team next season.

Joel Colwill had a great stint at Cheltenham, but has been very cold as Exeter. It's good that he's had some experience in League One now, should be able to join our first team quite comfortably next season.

Glad Reindorf finally got some time, he's been a hyped youth prospect for us and any League One experience is good. I'd be happy for him to shadow Salech or Isaak Davies in L1.

Honestly, just get rid of Etete on a free at this point. It's absolutely not working.

No idea what's happening with Tsunoda, seems like he was brought in to help the Belgian boys on a technicality rule.

Re: Loan Report

It may have been weird, but I have enjoyed reading about it.
I wonder what next season will bring.

That's a good question. It's going to be an interesting close season. With EFL Trophy games to play and earlier FA Cup ties we're going to need a decent sized squad I'd have thought so maybe not too many of our youngsters going out. Bolton, Stevenage, Exeter and Bristol Rovers all seemed to be struggling with injuries through the season and I'm sure we'll be no different. Sending lads out is no guarantee of game time anyway, as this season has shown, so it'll be more senior players the new manager doesn't fancy but can't sell I'd have thought but we'll see.

Re: Loan Report

I'm not sure what the rules are to be honest, we got in a muddle with this last season. The Pro League wiki page has goal difference as only being from the play off games, which would be good for Kortrijk but it has them as already relegated as the classification is points then finishing position in the regular season. Surely it's academic as Cercle Brugge only need a point at Beerschot next week to make sure anyway but I'll try and find out.

Ah, they are already down:

Looks like regular season finishing position is the decider if teams finish level on points, and as Cercle Brugge finished above Kortrijk, Kortrijk can't overtake them.

Re: Loan Report

Typical. Having hired an engraver who charges by the letter for when the player of the season was announced, it turns out there are two winners as Ryotaro Tsunoda and Malachi Fagan-Walcott get to share the Loan d'Or for the next 12 months.

It's worked out ok for me to be fair, I told the engraver that they're known professionally as Ryo and MFW and he was none the wiser. I'm just glad Michael Reindorf didn't win it. When he went to Bristol Rovers he'd stipulated that he'd want his full name on the trophy if he won, I didn't realise until later that his full name is Michael Douglas Kwabena Amponsah Reindorf Junior. I owe Inigo Calderon a drink for making sure he didn't win, I'll look out for him when I pass a job centre.

Joel Colwill won young player of the season and the former loan player award went to Josh Murphy for his impressive season at Portsmouth. No presentation night this time round, the logistics made it difficult, although I did get an offer. The Chuckle Brothers tribute act that we got double booked with back in 2016 sent me an e mail and said they'd sort a venue and organise everything if I'd let them do an hour long act and then present the trophies after. I politely declined. Tsunoda has been through a tough 16 months since he signed for us, I felt that might have pushed him over the edge.

He got 90 minutes in for Kortrijk yesterday as they drew 2-2 with STVV in their final relegation play off game. It's been a strong finish to the season, they've been the best side in the play off group, having picked up 11 points from their 6 games, but they left themselves too much to do after the regular season and are relegated. There's been a new manager bounce, and a new player bounce since Tsunoda arrived, but it just came too late.

A quick word about Malachi Fagan-Walcott. His York side finished second in the National League and have a play off game upcoming. He got 38 starts this season with six goals and four assists to his name.

Some eyebrows were raised when he chose to go to York having been offered other clubs, apparently including EFL sides, but it seems to have turned out well for him. He's had regular games and secured a permanent deal there, he's in a good position to push on. As a London boy, the temptation to move to a club nearer to home must've been there but he's happy to put his football first. He'd already taken two loan spells in Scotland and now, having weighed up his options at the start of this season, decided to set off for York. No doubt whistling the Paul Young classic, Wherever I Lay my Head That's my Hat as he went.

Unless Jake Dennis makes a reappearance for Oldham in their play off games, that's it for this season. Richard M wondered further up the thread what next season would bring and it's an interesting thought. Hard to believe it can be any more baffling than this one.

Weren't Dalman and Choo available when the Chuckle brothers cried off

Thanks for your efforts through the season, if there's any justice, Fagan-Walcott will be playing in the EFL come August.

Doesn't look like it'll be with York if he is. They're 3-0 down at home to Oldham, having finished 23 points clear of them in the regular season.

Re: Loan Report

A quality assist for Newport's equaliser at Grimsby for Michael Reindorf but Newport went on to lose 2-1.

Seems like a decent start for Roko Simic at Karlsruher. He's started both their league games in 2.Bundesliga (a win and a draw) and got 90 minutes in yesterday as Karlsruher won 5-0 away in the cup. No goals or assists as of yet but slow and steady wins the race.

Glad they're both getting game time after last season.

Re: Loan Report

A goal for Roko Simic today as Karlsruher beat a team with a long name 2-0 in 2. Bundesliga to go second in the table.

I actually think Horvath is better than Ward. Horvath at least got two teams promoted. Ward is most famous for getting Leicester relegated 7 seasons after they won the Premiership.
