Presume with Besic's injury, and McCarthy's fitness also being unreliable, we needed cover for midfield

Possibly but im thinking that perhaps he refused a move....read that he was offered Sheff Weds as well as mcgeady.
(Not covering McGeady since people are pretty familiar with him and he already has his own thread. McAleny squeezes in on age...)
Championship
Fulham - Garbutt played full match and was booked in 1-1 home draw with Derby
OS Match Report
"Garbutt picked up an early booking in the sixth minute for a poor tackle on Russell."
"The Whites, though, didn’t have to wait long to go in front. Christensen found the overlapping Garbutt and his cross hit Baird and flew towards goal where it bounced in off debutant Olsson from just a few yards out."
"Good defending by Russell at the far stick then prevented Garbutt from getting on the end of a hanging cross by Jazz Richards."
"A Rams break from the corner was ended by good Garbutt tackle and Christensen looked to thread McCormack through but the striker’s first touch was heavy and Carson came out to block."
Twitter stuff
7' Luke Garbutt goes into the book for clipping Johnny Russell. Derby free-kick wide on the right.
17' GOOOOOOOAAAAAALLL! Looks like an oggy, but who cares!! Fulham 1-0 Derby County. Luke Garbutt drilled in a dangerous low cross that took several deflections, with Marcus Olsson the unlucky man who puts it into the net.
31' Garbutt volleys away Russell's set-piece.

Wigan - McAleny starts, scores debut goal and is subbed on 71st minute in 2-0 away win over Sheffield Utd
OS Match Report
"Latics responded immediately, Grigg setting up McAleny, whose drive from the edge of the box was tipped over the bar by Long."
"Wildschut once again started the move, cutting in from the left, riding a challenge before passing to Max Power, he put the ball into the path of McAleny who was able to mark his debut for the club with a quite stunning finish from 20 yards."
"Then McAleny again caused havoc down the right hand side evading two challenges to put in a dangerous cross that no player in a Latics shirt could reach."
Twitter stuff
1' Quick start! Grigg down the left side, almost had the ball break free for a shot! McAleny, also tried to work a shot in the box.
5' Free kick just outside the area. Quick feet from @CMcAleny, who is tripped.
7' Free kick punched away by Jaaskelainen, @CMcAleny then fouled just inside of Latics' area.
32' @yanicw33 played in down the left by @WillGrigg, the winger pulls it back for @CMcAleny who has his effort blocked.
49' Chance! @WillGrigg holds the ball up and sets it back for @CMcAleny who sees his shot deflected narrowly over!
50' Short corner comes to nothing. Good work from Grigg to hold the ball up for @CMcAleny's chance leading up to it.
55' GOAL! @yanicw33 from the left to @power_m4 in the middle, flicks it on to @CMcAleny down the right who smashes it in! 2-0!
63' @jpearce05 with a crucial header in the area to spark a counter attack, @CMcAleny unlucky not to find @yanicw33 or @WillGrigg.
66' Close! Adams finds McEveley bursting down the left, @CMcAleny enough pressure on him, the defender's shot wide across the goal
Manager's comments
"Caldwell was pleased debutant McAleny backed his first Latics bow with a goal in the second-half, the Scot handing praise to the Everton loanee’s all-round performance.
“I thought Conor was superb,” he added. “He has only had a few days to train with us and that can be difficult but he showed the quality that he has in possession, he’s clever and tight with the ball, he doesn’t give much away.
“I also thought he worked hard to get back for the team because we had to change it today to combat their attacking threat from the full backs.
“We know that if he gets opportunities, which he will be cutting in off the wing, then he will be a finisher and I thought his goal was superb in the way that he took it.”
Random fan comments
"Mceleny goal was a really good finish and I imagine his confidence will be sky high, him Vikic and Jacobs will be competing for that spot, though i felt he left Griggs too isolated at times. As a side note I loved the fact that when Mceleny got subbed he called him back just to pat him on the back and shows we've another leader in that team."
"i just thowt that mcaleny was a bit tepid to start with. that mite have been nerves as he was chucked in at the deep end. but after the teem chat at half time he were a diferent mon."
McAleny goal (second of two goals):

League Two
Cambridge Utd - Ledson started and played 63 minutes before being subbed in 1-0 home win over Dagenham & Redbridge
OS Match Report
"The conditions continued to have a real bearing on the match in the second period and when Ryan Ledson’s cross fell onto the top of the cross bar and back in to play, it looked as if Williamson was perfectly placed to head home, only for Widdowson to pop up and deny the striker."
Twitter stuff
51' Ledson is fouled by Widdowson and the U's have a great opportunity to put a ball into the Dagger's 18 yard box
52' SO CLOSE - The ball bounces off the cross bar from Ledson's cross before Widdowson heads for a corner
Random fan comments
"Nice touch, Luke Gutteridge praising Ryan Ledson For not making a meal out of a challenge that could have been more than a Yellow card for the daggers lad."
"I thought we coped better with facing into the wind in the first half than we did with it on our backs in the second. I would have predicted that to be the other way round. Ledson in particular seemed to struggle with his range but was by no means the only one struggling with his passes."
Ledson's loan apparently ended after this match (although presume could be extended?).

Good article and the stuff about Moyes wanting to put a team in at Conference level but not being able to work with the timeline of starting up a club and getting it to a competitive stage was interesting. I can't see though why there isn't a real push towards linking up with clubs in the 5th or 6th tier who play real competitive football but really struggle financially? These are decent footballing environments where results do matter they do spit out the odd gem like Vardy and also have a lot of seasoned ex-pros with very decent CV's.
There are lot of non league clubs playing competitive first team football who I reckon would welcome a financial boost if it means taking a few players or even young coaches / managers from a parent club. Is there a law against this in English football as it's a model that Udinese / Watford seem to have set up. It's bizarre that the likes of Citeh are establishing their B teams in places like USA and Australia.
The way the lower league pyramid divides geographically means there's a lot of options close by as well.....even the likes of Cables could be playing 5th or 6th tier with minimal, by PL standards, investment within 4-5 years. Look at the likes of Wimbledon AFC who've gone from being founded in the 9th tier to League 2 in about 10 years.

Ledson and Walsh have had their loans extended for another month. Good news for both. Hopefully they can kick on in pre season after 6-8 months competitive football http://www.evertonfc.com/news/2016/02/08/ledson-and-walsh-extend-loans

Here's an article a Yeovil fan wrote https://harrydunford.wordpress.com/2016/02/05/liam-walsh-is-hard-as-fk/
Liam Walsh is hard as [Poor language removed]
When ex-player Darren Way took over the incredulous task of keeping Yeovil Town from a third successive relegation, we understandably questioned whether he was the right man. However, in 2016 we’re in the best form we’ve been in all season and this change in form, in my opinion, is down to two things: Darren Way changing our system to a 4-2-3-1, but also Darren Way bringing in an 18-year-old lad from Everton called Liam Walsh. A quick search of the internet brought up a goal he scored from the halfway line for the U18s against Derby, and another video where he pings some balls through a hoop into the top corner. But to be brutally honest, Yeovil have signed so many youngsters on loan over the years, none of us took much notice of the signing – until we saw him play.
Thrown in at very deep end of League Two, Walshy has started all six games since he joined us, shining in all of them and growing better each week. In the centre of a midfield three he is showing maturity beyond his teenage years; and you’d be forgiven for thinking he was younger than 18 because of his size. He’s more than made up for that however, with his pure tenacity, hunger and technical ability. In our last three league games he has picked up man of the match at home to Crawley, played a delightful pass for an assist away at Wimbledon, and bagged his first goal for us in the most recent trip to Luton. Furthermore, one of the lads who comes to the games took the players for a boxing training session recently and his words after were: “Liam Walsh is hard as [Poor language removed]”. His natural talent has evidently been enhanced by learning his trade through the Everton youth teams, and this combined with his sheer graft and desire to win might be the difference in us staying up or going down.
In the pub after the Wimbledon game we mentioned other loanees that we couldn’t believe we had actually managed to sign, considering what they have gone on to achieve; such as Steven Caulker, Ryan Mason, Andros Townsend and Asmir Begovic. It was in that same breath we realised that we could again be witnessing the development of an impending star. The step up from academy football to football league level is not an easy one, but so far so good for Liam Walsh. If I was an Everton supporter I’d be keeping a close eye on this one for the future.

.......the indication was that he had attitude to go with real ability and that is turning out to be the case. Whilst size and athleticism are ingredients in the modern game there is also a place for players with a smaller frame, Walsh has got a chance.
Although Walsh, Kenny, and Ledson are all 18 , Walsh is the least experienced being a 2nd Year Scholar the other two are a year ahead of him I.e they completed their 2 Scholar years, plus both of them have played regularly for England over the years which adds to their experience. It appears that we don't release many Scholars out on loan, Brewster is the only outfield player I can think of this season , so again it points to Walsh being held in high regard at FF.
