I’m looking forward to following this thread more than the match day threads to be fair! Some decent looking loans. Thanks in advance for all the effort @moore_94 👍🏻

Mate is a Vale fan so will get his take on Cover's performance.

You don’t think the loans manager has involvement in getting the young players the right loan in the first place? In truth, none of us know what exactly is involved in the role but my impression would be that he is working on this as well. How do you know he isn’t contacting possible clubs to discuss how they would accommodate our players and to help establish what are likely to be the better options?

 

Any how, this club has been awful at this for a long time and many of our youngsters don’t get these moves early enough so unless it’s entirely coincidental, it seems he must be having involvement as it has improved since he came into the role.

He definitely isn't. 

 

They are not proactive but reactive in this area... There was definitely interest in some at the beginning of the window... Some fell by the wayside as no action taken by the club because Cooper / Rudkin wanted to keep them "just in case" but they wouldn't have been used due to lack of experience. 

 

A good crop of players now at the right aged for decent loans so interest arrives... Agents will be looking for others especially where they know the player won't play (Cannon)

The 30/60/90 minutes these lads experienced today is probably a bigger education into proper football than they'd ever have had playing u23 football

I'm really hopeful these lads can have solid seasons out on loan, which hopefully sets them up to be involved with us next season no matter the division we find ourselves in.

How Sammy Braybrooke and Leicester City loanees fared on debuts as faith shown in club's academy
Leicester City have 10 players out on loan this season and four were thrown straight in for their debuts this past weekend, despite limited training time at their new clubs

ByJordan Blackwell
07:00, 3 SEP 2024Updated07:08, 3 SEP 2024

Faith was placed in Leicester City’s academy as three of their loanees were thrown straight into the starting of their new loan clubs.

Sammy Braybrooke, Chris Popov, and Brandon Cover respectively joined Dundee, Barrow, and Port Vale on season-long deals this week as City made use of the loan market to get minutes for their most promising youngsters. Despite limited training time, the trio were named in their new clubs’ 11s at the weekend, all three making just the second senior appearances of their career.

Braybrooke enjoyed a tidy Dundee debut in their 2-2 draw with St Mirren. The England youth international midfielder played an hour in what was a physical encounter, even for the Scottish Premiership.

Dundee manager Tony Docherty said after the match: “Sammy did well. It was a difficult game, something he’s probably not used to. I was really impressed.”

 

For Barrow, Popov led the line and played nearly the full match in their 1-0 League Two win over Harrogate. The Welshman enjoyed a lively outing just a few days after his senior debut for City in the Carabao Cup.

 

At Port Vale, Cover played as a right-sided wing-back in their 3-2 defeat to Doncaster in League Two. The 20-year-old earned very positive reviews from Vale fans for his performance.

 

Before the game, Doncaster manager Darren Moore explained why he was throwing Cover straight in, saying: “He’s a good player, he plays forward, he’s aggressive with his approach, and with the type of game it would be today, it would be a good one for him to make his introduction. He’s ready, he’s good to go, which is wonderful. Physically he’s up there.”

 

At Exeter in League One, Amani Richards made his senior debut off the bench and the forward went close to adding a third goal in the Grecians’ excellent 2-0 victory at Bolton, the 19-year-old yet another player who received positive supporter feedback from his appearance.

 

Elsewhere, winger Silko Thomas, who moved on loan to Wigan last month, played 90 minutes as the Latics lost 2-1 to League One’s big spenders Birmingham. In the Championship, Harry Souttar kept his first clean sheet as a Sheffield United player, the centre-back playing 90 minutes as the Blades kept their unbeaten Championship start going with a 1-0 win over Watford in a feisty encounter at Bramall Lane.

 

For four more City loanees, they will have to wait for their debuts. Tom Cannon at Stoke and Ben Nelson at Oxford were registered too late to feature at the weekend, and so they could make their debuts after the international break. Wanya Marcal did not feature in De Graafschap’s 4-1 win over Roda JC but will hope to play against FC Eindhoven this Friday, while goalkeeper Brad Young could be between the sticks for Hartlepool against Halifax in the National League.

DES Buckingham regards deadline day loan signing Ben Nelson as one of the best young centre backs in English football.

The 20-year-old arrived on a season-long loan from Leicester City, with Oxford United reportedly beating interest from fellow Sky Bet Championship sides Bristol City, Portsmouth and Sunderland to land Nelson.

The centre half was United’s main target in the position during the summer transfer window, and head coach Buckingham is delighted to get his man.

 

 

Asked about bringing in a centre back this summer, Buckingham responded: “It’s one we’ve been after for a long time.

“We know we need some cover in there, so to be able to bring, not a just a player in, but a player that we’ve chased for a long, long time.

“He can play the way we want to play, he’s a very good young prospect, not just for his club, but for the country.

“More importantly, it gives us a good bit of depth and quality in that space.”

Nelson is on international duty having been named in England’s ‘Elite League’ squad, formerly the Under-20s.

England face Turkey in Istanbul on Friday, before a home game at Stockport County’s Edgeley Park on September 10.

Ireland Debut For McAteer As Ndidi's Nigeria Win
Internationals

Leicester City Academy graduate Kasey McAteer was a late substitute in the Republic of Ireland's 2-0 loss to England while Wilfred Ndidi saw victory over Benin with Nigeria.
The weekend's action on the international stage started with Bobby De-Cordova Reid who was named in the starting line-up for Jamaica, who faced Cuba in a CONCACAF Nations League group stage match.

Lasting the full 90 minutes, the scores ended goalless at Independence Park in Kingston, as the City forward helped to get League A Group 1 started with a point. One game remains for the Reggae Boyz in this break, when they face Honduras at 3am on Wednesday morning.

Another summer signing to feature was Michael Golding, who started for the England Under-19s in their 1-1 draw with Croatia in friendly action. Lasting 78 minutes, the young midfielder was replaced just two minutes after Tyrique George's equaliser. They are next in action on Tuesday afternoon (3:30pm kick-off) when they face Germany.

Over at the Godswill Akpabio International Stadium, Ndidi played his part in Nigeria's 3-0 win over Benin in the Africa Cup of Nations qualification stages, assisting Victor Osimhen in the final 15 minutes in between an Ademola Lookman brace.

Starting Group D with a win and a full 90 minutes of action, the Leicester No.6 has the chance to feature again on Tuesday afternoon (2pm kick-off) when the Super Eagles face Rwanda. 

The evening's action was rounded off with a senior international debut for McAteer, who was a second half substitute at Aviva Stadium, as Ireland were beaten 2-0 by England in round one of the UEFA Nations League B Group 2 schedule. 

A proud moment for the Academy graduate, the winger will be hoping for more minutes on Tuesday evening when they face Greece, once again in Dublin, with a 7:45pm kick-off.

All times BST.

it’s an odd loan tbh. When he was there last season, he wasn’t first choice either, so if he’s been brought in as back up again it’s a bit of a waste of time.
