I thought this was about how many loans Top has taken out on the club

Far too many. That’s why we are deep in the 💩💩💩💩💩

Bloody hell. A transfer. The fax machine - it lives.

Had a stationery delivery at Seagrave on Wednesday. They've been paperless since the end of the season!

Sounds like he was close to going on loan there in January - shame it didn't happen for whatever reason

Hopefully gets on better than the last midfielder we loaned to Scotland.

Think physically he’s more ready for men’s professional football

Cartwright played 17 minutes as Falkirk drew 0-0 with Cove Rangers in the League Cup - then won 4-2 on penalties

Think he’s more likely to do well in Scotland, Braybrooke is to little for the way they play up there and I think would do better in a 6 role for a possession side in England

The best player in the league is shorter than him, I don't think height has anything to do with it really..

Height size and where he plays as well as his style of playing. You can get away with being smaller if you aren’t on the ball surrounded by players

Going to respectfully disagree on this one.. game of opinions..

Cartwright started for Falkirk last night and played 59 minutes as they won 3-1 vs Queen’s Park in the League Cup

I think there's probably a tonne of reasons it didn't work out for Braybrooke.

Strength (again!) being one of them, we also sent him to a side with a manager who had spent the season making the strangest substitution decisions I think i've ever seen.

 

Also, popping Henry up to Falkirk, sandwiched nicely between Edinburgh and Glasgow is likely to give him a nicer lifestyle/less chance of homesickness during his time there. 

Dundee is certainly more cut off and further up.

 

It's little details with young loan players, I just think we got Sammy's completely wrong.

I think the biggest thing that backfired with Braybrooke was that Dundee were expecting to sell Lyall Cameron but a move never materialised. 

 

Looks like Cameron signed for Rangers on a free this summer after agreeing a pre-contract deal in Feb.

But even sub opportunities were minimal as we sent him to a gaffer who had made about 1 sub a game and when he does usually with a few minutes to go

Haha yeah I did notice that as well when following them to see how much game time Sammy got (usually 0 minutes like you say )

 

Strikes me as the type of gaffer that has his trusted players and won't give squad players a chance unless he's absolutely forced to. Which is something you'd have hoped we'd have done our due diligence on before sending him.

I do think we should move Braybrooke on for the sake of his career. He needs to find a home at a lower level and become established. Do what the big boys do and put a buy back in if he comes good but holding on to them and having them play kids football is stunting careers in the case of Braybrooke. 
 

It does seem to be something we are (forced by circumstances or by choice), looking to do better on but Sammy may well have missed the boat and been caught up by the next age down (Page and Cartwright).

I think he would benefit more from a year in the gym and training with our 1st team more than moving down the leagues

At 21 he's still in a baby in Leicester city terms. Generally you need a healthy pension pot, 3+ kids and a penchant for bird watching and rambling before you're considered old enough to warrant first team action.
