Taken from Twitter, so don't take as gospel...
Karlsruher are obliged to sign Simic if he plays 45 mins in 20 games.

Thanks for this. Like you say, it's hard to know what to believe on Twitter (surely rooftop pools can't be that unsafe?) but deals like this do exist so it's possible I guess.

When I saw it, one guy said Simic was close to triggering the deal. He's only played 45 minutes ten times so is nowhere near, maybe he'd seen the 20 appearances thing and thought that was all that was needed (he's up to 19 now).

Have you seen anything similar for Daland? He's played 45 minutes sixteen times but the only thing I've seen suggested about him is that there's an option to buy rather than an obligation.

Re: Loan Report

These loan reports are a joy to read, Loramski.

Intelligent, informed and always witty.

Thanks - and keep them going.

Always look out for these, it’s good to see how our loan players are doing
BTW, what was the story behind Spiers going and coming back from Eastleigh?

That's a good question, I've no idea what happened there. He was getting starts at Eastleigh too, played 90 minutes in his last game but then we recalled him and loaned him back to Merthyr. It backfired a bit because he hasn't played for weeks now, presumably he's injured.

Dakarai Mafico and Troy Perrett helped Yeovil to a dominant 2-0 win over Tamworth last night. Both started and Perrett was only subbed in the last minute to allow a youngster to make his debut.

Mafico came third in February's player of the month at Yeovil. He seems to have gone from Bagan to Wintle to Robertson in his time there, fairly seamlessly too. Good luck asking him to be Salech though.

Michael Reindorf came on for Tamworth in that game, Kion Etete came on in the 90th minute for St Mirren at Dundee United and Luey Giles got a full game for Eastleigh as they lost their semi-final of the Hampshire Cup to Basingstoke.

Mafico and Perrett seem to be doing well with this loan, hopefully they can kick on and get an EFL move next season

I remember one of those social media posts the club did and they asked the players who was the next youngster to make their debut/most gifted or something along those lines and 90% said Perrett, hopefully that's the case and we can have another academy player in the squad! Certainly saves us money!

Of course. He disappointed me a bit earlier this season, there wasn't enough drive and energy from him and BBM didn't seem that interested, even when Rubin got injured.

Maybe there was a fitness issue and he was conserving his energy through games when I saw him? He seems to be doing well enough at Yeovil but not making the full 90 minutes, last night was encouraging in that regard.

One odd thing is his lack of goals so far. He scored regularly here but is struggling to find the net now. He took a touch last night and missed out when a first time shot was on. He was a reliable penalty taker here but isn't stepping up now, even in the shoot-out the other day (Mafico took one in an earlier round). Probably just a confidence thing, hopefully one goal will lead to more.

Re: Loan Report

2 goals for Luke Pearce today as IFK Mariehamn beat FC Lahti (yes, that FC Lahti) in a League Cup group game.

I think that puts him second in the goalscorers chart for loaned out players this season, one behind Roko Simic. I used to need an abacus to keep up when Velikonja was out on loan, those were the days.

He has one of his goals up on Insta. Well taken.

I'll look out for a highlights package, if they do one, and put it on here.

I didn't realise Darren Purse had played for Mariehamn in 2013 and was the one encouraging Pearce to make the move.

Pearce is number 11 for Mariehamn (in green).

Re: Loan Report

Just a quick run through here, not too much to report.

90 minutes for Dakarai Mafico and Troy Perrett but Yeovil are saving their good stuff for midweek at present, they lost 3-0 at home to Scunthorpe today.

Nice to see Luey Giles get a league start for Eastleigh. A tough game away at York but Eastleigh did score first before losing 3-1, two goals for Malachi Fagan-Walcott there.

Jake Dennis played for Merthyr as they won 3-1 at Radcliffe, in Greater Manchester. A place and club I hadn't heard of before. Apparently, Paul Gascoigne played a pre-season friendly for them in July 2004 when Bernard Manning's son was the chairman. Gascoigne gave a ten minute interview after the game in his jockstrap. Which didn't catch on as a post-match routine, thankfully.

Late substitute appearances for Michael Reindorf and Jesper Daland, no squad place for Tanatswa Nyakuhwa and the injured Will Spiers. No games for IFK Mariehamn, Cardiff Met and Penybont, Karlsruher play tomorrow, as do St Mirren.

Re: Loan Report

While Kion Etete didn't get on for St Mirren on Sunday, Roko Simic got another start for Karlsruher and played 85 minutes in a 3-3 draw with Dynamo Dresden, the second 3-3 draw they've played out this season.

It was the third start in a row for Simic and the longest he's been on for a league game. He seems to be benefitting from a change to a 3 at the back system with two strikers, Isaak Davies did well in a similar system at Kortrijk.

Simic had an assist on Sunday and hit the post with a header, results have improved for now (goalkeeping errors cost them against Dresden) so things seem to be looking up for him. Needs a goal soon though, I'd have thought.

Re: Loan Report

A 94th minute assist for Giles to help Eastleigh beat Brackley 2-1 on Tuesday. Reindorf got 10 minutes for Tamworth as they lost 3-2 to Wealdstone.

Reindorf got 10 minutes for Tamworth as they lost 3-2 to Wealdstone.

we will be loaning him to Pentwyn next season. He's surely better than this, probably just needs a permanent move somewhere and start to build his way up.

Undoubtedly a lot of the fanbase hype was due to the poor performances of the first team but from the development matches I saw I definitely feel he has a skillset beyond non league. Not sure quite what has happened to him.

I agree. Something has gone wrong somehow. Hopefully he can get back on track somewhere.
