Alfie McCalmont scored again today, there his 8th in 30 appearances and one heck of a goal. If all.The loanees, he's the one most likely to make the first team squad. He now offers cover for positions across the whole midfield. He will be like a new signing for us next season and fill the void left by Forshaw. Get in!

Dario out injured till end of the season shame he was doing well on loan
Robles
Rasmus Koch llorente wober
Tyler fatty
Sini rodders Jack
Aaronsen
No wonder we were relegated.
Not a patch on this year's eleven.
None of them welcome back ,(bar rodders) and none of them improve the team.
Orta wasted a lot of ££££
worth resurrecting this?
Aarondsen failing miserably at Union Berlin
Harrison doesn't want to come back
llorente no longer good enough to start at Roma as they improve under new management
Kristinsen injured now, but touch and go if he's good enough to be kit man at Roma
Roca was doing OK, but apparently now crocked
Sinisterra gone for a fee
Only Wober doing OK, but shown to be a two faced snake....

Greenwood scored a great free kick to beat Leicester today,close to 30 yards out
Does anyone know if Boro have a buy clause in that loan deal?He's scoring well this season.4 goals in 12
My Luton season ticket holder mates love Cody Drameh and he looks far better offensively than Championship from clips on Football League show.... sets up goals etc and surely needs to be given a chance as we'll lose him in the summer
As you say TC, his stats are for L1. Looked good in the U23s but not so good when in the first team.
Needs far more playing time in a less pressurised environment to develop which ER would not have given him.
Did we get rid of Davis?
Well Charlie and James both scored last weekend
Pictures of Cresswell are good!
He's taken it like a proper English centre half :-)
Cresswell plays full 90 for Millwall but Baby Shacks only comes on in 86th minute
Tyler still out for OPR
Bate gets 74 mins for Oxford
Poveda not in Blackpool's squad
Jenkins gets 72 mins for Salford
Cresswell got a battering from Hull today and left him with a black eye and stitches.
Guess those Hull players must have thought they were playing rugby.
How will they fair this weekend?
McKinstry was Motherwell's player of the month. It's a mixed bag but some of the loanees have been big hits, some have done ok, and others have either not got the breaks or flattered to deceive.
Stuart McKinstry (Motherwell)
Stuart McKinstry scored his first two senior goals in October, netting against both Rangers and Aberdeen for Motherwell at Fir Park in the Scottish Premiership. He made the most appearances out of any of the Leeds United players on loan, featuring seven times, once in the Scottish League Cup and six times in the SPL.
Jamie Shackleton (Millwall)
The midfielder continues to be a mainstay in the Millwall side, having featured in 15 of their 17 matches so far. Five more of those came in October, with the Lions recording three wins against Bristol City, Watford and West Bromwich Albion and two defeats against Blackburn Rovers and Huddersfield Town. Millwall are currently two spots outside the Play-Offs in the Sky Bet Championship.
Tyler Roberts (Queens Park Rangers)
Roberts’ October got off to a great start as he scored in QPR’s 2-1 away victory against Bristol City, his first goal for the club. He then helped the R’s beat Sheffield United and Reading. Injury saw him miss victories over Cardiff City and Wigan Athletic and he returned in last week’s match against Birmingham City, but had to be withdrawn after 27 minutes. QPR currently sit in third place in the Sky Bet Championship.
Charlie Cresswell (Millwall)
The 20-year-old defender made three outings for Millwall in October. In total he has made 12 appearances, scoring three goals. In October he started in defeats against Blackburn Rovers and Huddersfield Town, whilst came off the bench to help Millwall beat West Bromwich Albion 2-1.
Lewis Bate (Oxford United)
Bate featured in Oxford’s first two games of October against Charlton Athletic in Sky Bet League One and Chelsea’s Under-21s in the Papa John’s Trophy. In the latter he was forced off with injury, but he returned last weekend to help Oxford beat Bolton Wanderers at the University of Bolton Stadium, with the midfielder providing two assists.
Mateusz Bogusz (UD Ibiza)
Making his return from injury, Poland Under-21 international Bogusz featured five times from the bench for UD Ibiza during October. His first match saw Ibiza defeat CD Lugo 3-2 and this was followed up with a 0-0 draw with UD Las Palmas. He was sent off against SD Eibar, but returned for matches against Levante and Bugos CF.
Hélder Costa (Al-Ittihad)
Costa made one start for Al-Ittihad during October, helping his side defeat Al-Wehda FC 1-0. Al-Ittihad currently sit third in the Saudi Pro League.
Dan James (Fulham)
James has made three starts and one substitute appearance for Fulham during October. In those games, Fulham defeated Aston Villa 3-0, drew with AFC Bournemouth 2-2 and lost to West Ham United and Newcastle United.
Ian Poveda (Blackpool)
The 22-year-old winger featured three times for Blackpool during the month of October in matches against Norwich City, Sunderland and Hull City, taking his total appearances for the season to seven. The Tangerines currently sit in 15th place in the Sky Bet Championship, having collected 22 points from their first 15 matches.
Jack Jenkins (Salford City)
The midfielder featured for Salford City in their penalty shootout Papa John’s Trophy victory over Rochdale, following a 2-2 draw in a local derby at the Crown Oil Arena.

Baby Shacks - Played whole game for Millwall this weekend and Charlie came on at Half Time
Poveda on the bench for Blackpool but did not get on. Tyler not even in the QPR squad. Not sure if he is injured again
Bate on the bench for Oxford but saw no minutes.
James could not play against us for Fulham.
.
Rumours Millwall boss Rowett could be poached, which could unsettle our lads there.
another thread sinking in gummies crap

Worryingly Charlie Cresswell was dropped completely from the Millwall squad last night and he wasn't injured according to Rowett, it was a selection choice.
He's been helping up front with 3 goals, but his defence isn't good enough apparently.
I hope he regains his form and his place soon.
Shacks an unused sub....
Move aside Douglas Bader with your three testicles - it's time for a new flyboy hero on this MB.
Guy Gibson and his spambusters equipped with their bump bombs
James started for Fulham and lasted 70 mins before being taken off
Baby Shacks stared and played the full 90 mins for Millall
Charlie started but got taken off after 68 mins
Poveda started for Blackpool but taken off after 69 mins
Tyler started and scored and managed to play the full game
Bate started for Oxford and lasted 63 mins
McKinstry, Costa, Bogusz and Jenkins I wont bother about as they will not be LUFC players after their loans complete
Roberts scored today!!!! Keep going Tyler!
Jack Jenkins scored for Salford v Liverpool u21's in EFL
Hull really blow hot and cold don't they, Burnt it up at the start of season got battered by a team well down the table a couple of weeks ago, went 3 nil up against Coventry on Saturday and battered again last night against QPR.
Note to ones self
Hull = A team to stay well clear of when doing a bet
Creswell and Shacks started for Millwall last night in 2-0 loss to Burnley, 73 mins and 83 mins respectively
Bate played the whole game for Oxford in 5-0 win over Orient in EFT Trophy and got an assist.
Jenkins also played whole game for Salford v Liverpool U21s in their 2-1 win and got a goal.
Roberts got on for QPR in 53rd minute in their 3-1 win over Hull.
Bump to push the spam down a bit
Shackleto came on after 70 mins for Millwall this weekend with Cresswell an unused sub.
Bate an unused sub for Oxford.
bump
Cresswell, Shacks, Roberts and Bate all got minutes last weekend
Let them make their mistakes whilst out on loan.
Was only their second game and they will learn.
Both played the full 90 which is great for us
Drameh should start the next season as first choice. Ayling can fight him for it.
Shackleton needs to start beside Phillips now.
Joffy and Greenwood need to partner each other now.
McCalmont needs a crack at centre attacking midfield which is Rodrigo role now as this is his best position. Boguez also would be perfect there.
Forgot totally on McCalmont smurf but not exactly ripping up trees with Morecambe and yes at 21 should be ahead of Cody but i think Drameh at Cardiff in the championship is better suited to make the jump up to the PL. And make no mistake about it there is a massive step up especially when these guys must curtail the likes of Sterling, Salah, Mane, Riyad Mahrez, Saïd Benrahma, Lucas Moura, Buendia, Saint-Maximin, Harvey Barnes, Sarr, Wilfried Zaha and of course not forgetting Phil Foden. These guys only need one chance or 1 yard of space to make things happen and if our wing backs cant hold them then its good night Irene.
Drameh can play LB as well. He fits the mould of the perfect squad player. I agree Ayling will still be first choice RB, but Drameh should still get plenty of game time.
McCalmont is another who’s ready for premiership football. He’s done his loan apprenticeships, is oven ready for the Leeds first team and his now 22, going on 23.
Agreed Soopa but is Drameh honestly thinking that he will be 1st choice wing back with another PL team without a fight?
I assume he wants to play PL, ok playing regular in the championship is good for any young lad to learn his trade and better himself but its still the Championship and will never be a 1st choice PL wing back with any club unless he shows he has the temperament and ability in premier league games.
I honestly think "if" JM brings him back he will get a chance at PL games, but Luke Ayling wont just give it to him and we the fans wouldnt want that, i want Cody Drameh to fight for the jersey and make Ayling improve because without competition for a jersey a team is decline any team sport will show that.
Worth bearing in mind Leeds are hoping Ayling will sign another deal shortly. This is the dilemma for Drameh
Drameh seemingly was the best prospect at TA and with MB now gone maybe JM will bring him back into the fold when the season is over. Wouldnt want to sell him but likewise i think Ayling has life in those legs still and is best suited to wing back and left to fight for that slot and that slot only, the days that LA can "cover" at CB are over, young Charlie Cresswell put down a serious marker against wolves on friday night i thought, in a very difficult situation.
Bogusz I think is out for the season. Torn ACL
My valuation was based on what Chelsea got for U23 right backs like Lamptey.
He is probably worth 4 times that now though.
If we loan Drameh out to a Prem club next season and he does well then £12 million+ would not be out of the question.
It would be funny if that club was a newly promoted Fulham!
5Million BB?
We are PL now. If anyone wants a decent young lad that is more than capable of standing on his own two feet in the Championship then i'd be placing a 12-15million price tag on that player.
Gone are the days that our players are going away from ER for peanuts, mind you Dramha is far from being a comfortable championship player but come the end of the season and if he helps cardiff to pull away from the drop zone then as you say another loan spell next season could cement that experience.
But 12million minimum not a shilling less, English Championship is extremely competitive we of all Clubs should know this and value our players accordingly
Cody Drameh enjoyed a man of the match performance against Peterborough last night in Cardiffs 4-0 win where he's establishing himself as a fan favourite.
Welcome Smurf....
I thought Alfie was a holding midfielder before he went on loan but scored and created loads👏
The further we want to go, the harder it is to put them in the first team though.... I bet he's on a season long loan so we can't even give him the last 5 games to see what he is like!
We'll then go after 20m players in the summer and can't play him.... fkn catch 32
