Loanwatch 2025-26

Watched it on BBC Scotland.

Ben got about 65 minutes.

But you never watched, you just report, right? Not a dig, life's too short for this shit.

Not usually, but I probably would have if I remembered it was on. I was skipping between the games involving Wolves & Preston (hoping to see Dobbin score) til it was time for work.

Charlie Pavey scores for Stourbridge.

Congrats to Joe Gauci, on-loan at Port Vale and kept a clean sheet to help knock Sunderland out of the FA Cup. At least one of our players is successful in this competition...

Seems a very level headed lad

Yes, he comes across as a mature young lad.

Rowe in demand after impressing in France - https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/articles/c20qw80qr5wo

Good, I like Rowe, looks a very good prospect. If we have higher level loan offers or the potential for him to push for the first team next season then great.

Was this bit common knowledge:

"V Sports, Villa's ownership group, has been in talks with Annecy over taking a 30% stake in the club and are expected to continue to send players to them on loan next season, with Rowe the first deal between the clubs."

Also, do we now have our own designated Beeb reporter? All the big clubs do and this is a bit of a niche story.

Reported at least a couple of months ago on The Athletic / NYT....which is behind a Paywall

Here's a Yahoo article from around the same time

I used to live down the road from Annecy. It's absolutely gorgeous.

Mashiter is "midlands" reporter and covers us, Forest and Wolves. I expect they all have to be more off-beat on stories to fill in during this extended time of International and then FA cup weekend.
