So as to not spam the main loanees thread with a load of videos that people might not be interested in each week I thought I'd create a separate thread - will post each loanees (sadly only for the English based loanees at present) videos after each match-day here. Apologies that it can take a while to work out which player is the one you're supposed to be looking at but that's out of my control! Dele-Bashiru vs Bristol City: Cukur vs Accrington Stanley Dahlberg vs Accrington Stanley Wimbledon game not tagged yet so no clips of Mebude yet, hopefully have those later this afternoon.
Cukur highlights seem like a painful reminder that being a bully at academy level means fark all in men's football. Good learning experience
Yup, Doncaster fans have been less than complimentary on his performances so far...and yet there was some on here saying we should give him a chance in the PL this season!
It's always the way though. I feel like the big lads always look 10x better than they are at academy level. Ikpeazu seemingly only now growing into men's football all of 6 years after we signed him. Young players lack the nouse that even slightly seasoned pro's have, and as such being a 6ft3 powerhouse means you just flatten everything in front of you. Like I said though hopefully they persist and he gets 20 odd games as he's definitely a talent
By the sounds of it, they don't have much in reserve, which could be good in the sense that he's guaranteed games, or it could be bad in the sense that he can coast and still start games
They literally only have 3 strikers and Cukur has been getting in the right places. He should get enough game time to score a few times.

Went off after 67 minutes - sounds like it was an unpopular move as Forest went defensive and still lost!
Cheltenham play out from the back better than us and Pollock looks better on the ball than all of our current options. Hopefully he gets a lot of minutes with them and is in a position to play for us next season, either as a starter in the Championship or a squad player in the PL.
Dahlberg's handling isn't as assured as I expected from him, and his long kicking goes out of play fairly often. But these are the type of issues that get resolved with game time. Produces some very good saves.
Dele-Bashiru vs Peterborough (2 goals!): https://www.dropbox.com/s/wp6xum57z50ts8b/vsPeterborough.mp4?dl=0
Reading have always seemed a bit of a plastic club for me, but they had good support last night from a largely young fanbase - only to be spoiled by that cringe-worthy goal music, ugh.
Quina vs Birmingham (he looks like a puppy chasing a ball around with no real direction or aim): https://www.dropbox.com/s/35zmnyd48zgvoow/vsBirmingham.mp4?dl=0 Zinckernagel vs Cardiff: https://www.dropbox.com/s/ap10h80db2z6j9f/vsCardiff.mp4?dl=0
Sadly that does sound like par for the course for Quina, I do wonder if Fulham were the best team for us to loan him to given that he won't be guaranteed a place there, however, I guess at the time we just wanted him off the books. I wonder if we'll be in a similar position at the end of next season's transfer window with him treading water not really settling anywhere
I tend to think that they'll make a decision on Quina in January. If he's trending up, sign him and keep him there. If he's floundering, sell him to someone in Spain.
Although Fulham have the option to buy him as well which would suggest Gino isn't too fussed whether he stays or goes

The Doncaster loan seems to be playing out differently for Dahlberg and Cukur. As they're so poor Dahlberg is getting plenty of work to do, but on the other hand they can't afford to give minutes to a very inexperienced Cukur in the hope that he'll score goals for them. Hopefully Doncaster move up the table and Cukur can get some more minutes because it certainly looks like he needs them...
Early days but wouldn't be surprised if it's just another case of a striker impressing at youth level because of one of pace/strength/height/finishing but unable to translate it to men's football. Jakubiak, Folivi, Mensah and to a lesser extent Cassidy spring to mind. Perhaps I'm being harsh though as he's literally only 18 whereas I believe the others were struggling in their League 2-level loans at 20/21.
Mensah was a while ago wasn’t he and Folivi? Didn’t help Cassidy got injured but no don’t think he was regularly playing before hand .
Cukur mainly played for our U18s last season didn't he? A big enough step up from U23 football to League 1, let alone the U18s. Cassidy was average for Accrington, but he seemed more prepared for senior football than Cukur
Yeah think it was a mix of the two by the end of the season, think he's done well to get a League 1 loan based on it. Think Cassidy could probably carve out a decent lower league career if he finds the right club
