Players out on loan 2024/25

Yh. Ppl seem to forget it's only a few years ago we had 5 on the bench and 3 subs, then 7/3. Most of them won't get on, and the only one that is most irreplaceable if you end up with 2 injuries etc in the same position is GK, so I really don't mind it/see why ppl get such a bee in their bonnet about it. Also taking an extra youth player for the experience may often also mean them missing their own game, so debatable which is the more benficial there. Disgaree sure, but to see it constanly being brought up smacks of ppl just wanting to complain about something imo.
Agree, it’s a non-issue really. The third GK is always going to be with the squad home or away so it’s just practical really that if you have an extra space just to stick them on the bench rather than potentially waste a youngster’s weekend.

You also need your third goalie to be still focused and engaged and I guess having them on the bench rather than twiddling their thumbs helps with that. Because while 99.99% of the time you don’t need your third GK when you do need them you REALLY need them.
 


A full 90 minutes for Harrison Armstrong (despite him getting an early yellow) as Derby beat Coventry 2-0. The verdict from the Derbyshire Telegraph:
"Got stuck in and the on-loan Everton midfielder played forward when he could. May be just a teenager but doesn't play like one. 7.5/10".

A full match too for Mason Holgate as WBA drew 1-1 at Burnley.

A win for Harry Tyrer's Blackpool but no 3rd consecutive clean sheet. They won 2-1 at home to Cambridge. Accoridng to the Gazette: "Harry Tyrer needed more protection from his defence for Dom Ballard's goal, with mistakes coming before and after the ball had left the striker's boot. Heading into the latter stages, the Everton loanee was on hand to make a good to deny Josh Stokes. 7/10".

A clean sheet and a 5-0 win for Billy Crellin and Accrington v Newport.

Jenson Metcalfe was back in the Chesterfield starting line up and played the whole match as they beat Francis Okoronkwo's Salford 4-0. The Salford man was withdrawn on 64 minutes after the third goal went in.
 
Here is an article from yesterday about Harry Tyrer from the Gazette including a video of an interview. Nothing too new there but he speaks well and it's a good advert for the benefits of the loan system when it works out well. Have copied a few extracts below:


Last week, Seasiders head coach Steve Bruce stated he’d like to keep Tyrer on the Fylde Coast beyond the current season, and believes he’s now a better keeper than what he was six months ago. Responding to the comments of the Blackpool boss, the Toffees’ youth product said: “It’s massive, to hear his words during the week made me and my family very happy. It’s up to myself, it’s up to Everton, and it’s up to the club - if all parties are happy then I’m sure I might be back. It’s not all been plain sailing for Tyrer at Bloomfield Road, on what is his first season in the EFL having previously spent time with Chester and Chesterfield in non-league. There was a period in the first half of the campaign where he lost his place in the starting XI due to a dip in form, but has since earned his spot back and has featured in 19 consecutive league games.“It’s difficult to come out of the team and bounce back from that, but I felt as if I needed that break mentally for myself,” he added. “That Peterborough game was horrible for me in terms of losing 5-1. With self reflection, I always look at myself and think about what I could’ve done better. Tyrer admits through the highs and lows he has remained level headed, but is aware of the challenges he’s faced since making the step up from non-league to the third tier. “It was a difficult jump, but playing every week gives you more and more confidence,” he states. “The more games I’ve played, the more confident I’ve become, and I feel like that’s shown in my performances. “I want to prove that I’m capable of playing at this level, and that it’s not a big jump for me and I’m not at the deep end. I feel like I’ve shown that recently. “The two loans before this were similar, but this is a massive learning curve. The thing about going out on loan is dealing with the hard stuff and the good stuff. You can’t get too high when you’re high or too low when you’re low. You’ve got to learn from your mistakes and keep trying to be positive. “I want to keep more clean sheets and make more big saves in games. There’s been times where I’ve made mistakes, but I can hold my hands up more than anyone - I’ll be the first one to say that.”

Edit: just seen the RS result (I was avoiding following it) - get in!

Big result that, against probably the form team in the country.

Highlights a big aspect of the loan system that many people overlook.

Sounds like a decent and down to earth lad.

One way or another, it looks like he`s going to make a decent living out of footy.
