Players out on loan 2024/25


Another 90 minutes for Harrison and a great point against title chasing Burnley
I watched a few bits of it , at times he was the deepest midfielder with other mids in front of him but it was such a fluid team formation. What continues to impress me is Armstrong’s energy , it’s not like he’s buzzing about, but he gets from box to box , side to side in an almost languid , deceptive style of movement. To have this much endurance and ability to pace himself through the 90 mins is a standout for someone so young . I know they need him but I hope they’re cautious with the number of 90 mins games he’s playing.
 
As already mentioned, another 90 minutes for Harrison Armstrong as Derby drew 0-0 at home to Burnley. Cardiff, Luton and Stoke also drew so the Rams remain out of the drop zone on goal difference. He is obviously growing on the Derby Telegraph reporter. 7 out of 10 this time: "More of a physical presence in the midfield who could get on the ball and find composure during those periods when the ball was being hooked here and there by both sides. Got through plenty of work alongside Thompson against quality opponents."

Mason Holgate played the full match for WBA who lost 2-1 at Bristol City.

Jenson Metcalfe started and was subbed off on 67 minutes with Chesterfield losing 1-0 to Gillingham. It finished 1-1.

….i highlighted his running power in the recent England Youth international against Portugal as it really surprised me. It was played in extreme heat, yet he was the one who played the full 90 minutes and was still going strong at the end of the game when his team were under the cosh.

Derby must rate him so highly to continually play him in these massive games for the club, he’s clearly handling the pressure.
 

A quiet day for the loanees. Mason Holgate on the bench for WBA's win against Watford. No game for Blackpool presumably as they were due to play one of the EFL Trophy finalists. Francis Okoronkwo still injured. Billy Crellin missing as Accrington drew.

Harrison Armstrong played another full game for Derby as they conceded a stoppage time equaliser to draw 2-2 at Portsmouth. Things very tight at the bottom of the Championship. Derby one place and one point above the drop zone. 6/10 from the Derbyshire Telegraph. "The teenager had to do plenty of defensive work rather than creative and it was hard for the midfielders to get on the ball and dictate in what was a frenetic game."

Jenson Metcalfe played 74 minutes in Chesterfield's 3-0 win over Fleetwood. It was 2-0 when he went off.

Eli Campbell played 90 minutes but Ross County lost 3-2 to St Mirren.

Is that metcalfe's first minutes back after injury?

No, he's been back since the end of January. Getting plenty of minutes and seems to be doing well (though he has neither a goal nor an assist in 24 league games this season).

….Derby must be absolutely gutted with that injury time equaliser, it’s ridiculously tight down there and things don’t seem to be going their way.
 

Harrison Armstrong started again and was taken off in stoppage time as Derby chased an equaliser. They lost 1-0 at home to Luton. 5.5 out of 10 from the Derbyshire Telegraph. "Was a tough game for the on-loan Everton midfielder in the first half given he couldn't get on the ball, but was vastly improved after the restart."

Mason Holgate stuck on the bench for WBA's 2-0 loss at Coventry.

A good win for Harry Tyrer's Blackpool, 3-1 at Stevenage. 7 out of 10 from the Gazette. "Harry Tyrer didn't have too many challenging saves to make, and couldn't do much about the headed attempt that did beat him." Blackpool are 6 points off a play off place.

90 minutes again for Jenson Metcalfe as Chesterfield drew 0-0 at Wimbledon.

Billy Crellin still on the bench for Accrington and Francis Okoronkwo still injured for Salford. Accrington won 2-1.
