Dan Barlaser - Rotherham United (CM)

Appearances: 7

Goals: 0

Assists: 0

Barlaser has had a tougher than expected start, but he is certainly getting chances to make the big step forward. Dan has played in the EFL Trophy, four League matches and two EFL Cup matches. He seems to have enough trust from the manager to keep getting playing time.

Rotherham United currently sit in 13th place in League One on 7 points

Liam Gibson - Grimsby Town (LB)

Appearances: 2

Goals: 0

Assists: 0

Clean Sheets: 1

Only one start and one appearance as a sub for Liam Gibson. He came on as a sub in the last match Grimsby Town played in League 2. His loan start was against Doncaster in the EFL Cup.

Nathan Harker - Blyth Spartans (GK)

Appearances: 5

Goals Against Average/Match: 2

Clean Sheets: 1

Not a good start for Harker or Blyth as they only get 1 point and are giving up a lot of goals. In Blyth’s last match, they moved Harker to the bench. However, they still lost 2-0.

Blyth currently sits in last at 22nd in the National League N/S on 1 point

Jacob Murphy - Sheffield Wednesday (RW)

Appearances: 6

Goals: 1

Assists: 0

It was a great start for Jacob Murphy who scored the first goal of the season in the 2nd minute. Since then it has been very up and down for him. He has put in some good performances, some average, and some pretty bad displays so far early in the season. It seems though as if he is Wednesday’s first choice RW for now.

Elias Sorensen - Carlisle United (ST)

Appearances: 3

Goals: 0

Assists: 0

Elias just recently got his first start of the season against Scrunthrope United but was subbed out at Halftime. He is still trying to get his first goal but the fact that he is getting opportunities is important to his growth. It seems the Sorensen is further away than we all thought.

Kelland Watts - Stevenage (CB)

Appearances: 4

Goals: 0

Assists: 0

Clean Sheets: 2

Kelland Watts has had a good loan spell so far for Stevenage. He has made some mistakes, like conceding a penalty in the 85th minute of his last start, but mostly, he has been a solid CB for them. He has started each of the 4 Leagues matches he’s played in. The problem is that the team isn’t scoring much either.

Stevenage currently sits in 23rd place in the League Two table on 3 points.

Freddie Woodman - Swansea City (GK)

Appearances: 6

Goals against/match: .667

Clean Sheets: 3

This is easily our best loanee so far. Freddy is dominating the championship so far. He made a statement penalty save in his first match and has continued to impress since then. Most recently he and Swans travelled to Leeds and took 3 points in another clean sheet performance.

Swansea City currently sit in 1st place in the Championship table on 16 points.
