Tracking our (outbound) loan players 24/25

If anything can be read into it, Garrett has "liked" Bristol Rovers' Instagram post about their manager being sacked

I don’t think Garrett is good enough, Bristol Rovers obviously don’t either, it happens, unless we were taking the piss with all the failed loans we’ve taken from premier league clubs

I may be being unfair but I don’t expect any of those out on loan to make the grade to be honest 

We gave virtually all of those players a fair crack of the whip. Sometimes an unfair crack of the whip (see Tyler Morton). We didn't see them get rave reviews in their first appearances, peter off a little bit in the next couple, then get dropped from the bench entirely and play them in far less games than they'd played the prior season in the Prem. I can't think of one example where that's happened here.

Batty not involved for Accrington drew 1-1

Batty was mentioned a month ago as having to undergo a late fitness test (a comment from the Accrington manager about him feeling the back of his knee).  However, he has not featured since, and I have not seen any further mention of the extent of his injury

Edmondson (probably) & Mullarkey-Matthews (unlikely as he hasn't featured for Bamber Bridge since August) may be in action against each other tomorrow night

Edmondson started for Macclesfield v Bamber Bridge, who did not name Mullarkey-Matthews in their match day squad

Edmondson was withdrawn with 20 mins to go whilst Macclesfield were 2-0 up, the game finished 2-0 to Macclesfield.

Apparently Vale is doing his "return to training, rehab stuff" at Rovers (presumably we have better facilities & medical staff than Motherwell) and he will be back there "in a few weeks" (as of last week)

It's disappointing that the least interesting prospect is doing the best on loan.

I was hoping for big jumps by Garrett, Batty, O'Riordan et al. Markanday has already proven he's not good enough for the Championship.

I have to agree that he hasn’t shown anything in a Rovers shirt to suggest he can make it. Having said that, he hasn’t shown anything never really had an extended run and was rated highly at Spurs and is a real fans favourite at Saltergate. I would be happy to see him back and given a chance but given our current league position, it doesn’t look like a recall would work for either Rovers or the player.

Batty was having a good spell, been injured for the past month, and Accrington's form has dropped off a cliff since he has been missing.  1 win in the 7 he has missed

Garrett and O'Riordan, I agree, have had a wasted 6 months

I think a recall and a loan to League One should work for Rovers and the player, assuming there's interest.

I dont think it matters to us in terms of his Rovers future where he spends the second half of the season as his contract I think is up in the summer and he should be let go. If a League 1 club will pay us a small fee or more of his wages to take him then yes, but otherwise, its all about what Markanday needs as he looks to a future post Rovers.

Need to find new loan homes for Garrett and O'Riordan in January

He has a year option which will be triggered regardless, as even if Rovers do not plan on keeping him, they will be able to get a fee (with add ons & a sell on which will be the main concern)

I would say Markanday has proven he is not good enough as a winger, for the championship. Play him through the middle and he might have a chance. Markanday's problem is that we already have ( I suspect ), high paid cover for that position.
