Loan Watch (Page 3)

Saturday, was NOT a good day to be a YTFC player either at Spotland or anywhere else for that matter.

Let’s wrap this up quickly shall we.

Jordan Thomas and Torquay lost to Hampton & Richmond, his former club 1-0. Thomas nearly snatched a late equaliser with a backheel, too.,

Will Buse was helpless to prevent Enfield Town taking an 83rd minute lead against W*ymouth. But he would see his side salvage a point a the end in a battle of the National League South’s basement sides.

Sherborne took the lead against Hythe & Dibden. But they would lose 4-1… and lose a player in the process.

Corey Koerner was named on the bench, we’ll let you know if there’s any evidence that he came on.

Sol Padmore started for Bridport, George Geraghty was used from the bench in their 2-0 win over Middlezoy. 

Jacob Shore wasn’t named in Shaftesbury’s squad in their 0-0 draw with Tavistock.

No game for Yeovil on Saturday, but there’s still a few Yeovil loanee out and about on loan.

At Torquay, they came from behind to snatch a point against St Albans in the National League South.

Jordan Young from the spot with their goal, but we’re focusing on Jordan Thomas who played the full 90 minutes once again.

Torquay are top of the table, at the other end, W*ymouth are bottom.

They fell 1-0 to Worthing today, Will Buse played the full game for them after extending his loan spell until the end of the season.

Corey Koerner started for Sherborne in their away game at Millbrook, but that game was never completed. Abandoned at Half Time due to floodlight failure.

Jacob Shore is now with Shaftesbury, he came off the bench in their 2-2 draw with Bashley.

As ever, team news is hard to come by for one or two others, George Geraghty was in the squad for Bridport Reserves – they drew 1-1 with Sherborne Reserves on Monday (who themselves were likely to have a couple of names we might recognise) but, we can’t find team sheets, or much in the way of detail.

 

 

 

Saturday was a bit of a frosty one across the South West and so this might not be the longest edition of Loan Watch.

In the National League South, Jordan Thomas wasn’t involved for Torquay, serving a suspension after a recent red card.

Whilst Will Buse had to pick the ball out of the W*ymouth net on three occasions, including from a wonderful Rhys Murphy strike as Dorking got the better of a five-goal thriller.

Corey Koerner was named on the bench for Sherborne in their 1-0 defeat to AFC Portchester, the scorer on the day, one Brett Pitman!

Whilst the Reserves at Sherborne didn’t play today, we’ve noticed that Joe Crisp and Blake Watts have been involved in their set up recently too, both had scored for the Under 18s this season and both are regularly playing for the Zebras squad too.

Bridport – who had Sol Padmore in their line up – were 3-0 down as the clock ticked beyond the hour mark.

But a remarkable comeback saw them snatch a point, the equaliser coming  from the head of our very own George Geraghty.

So, whilst the Under 18s may not be involved in their own league, plenty of young Glovers are out and about getting game time in the local divisions.  

 

Football going on all over the shop over the festive period and plenty of the loanee Glovers were involved.

One that wasn’t involved was Harvey Greenslade, who missed Weston-super-Mare’s 3-1 defeat to Chippenham through illness.

There was a cleano for Will Buse in W*ymouth’s 0-0 draw with Salisbury.

… and as the headline suggests, Jordan Thomas got in a spot of bother with the officials in Torquay’s game with Truro.

Thankfully, his 83rd minute minute sending off didn’t prevent them from getting all three points to keep them top of the National League South.

Some chap called Jordan Young scored their winner.

Into the regional leagues and Sherborne didn’t play on New Year’s Day, but they did pick up a 1-0 win on December 29th, Josh Haskett was used from the bench in that one, but Corey Koerner didn’t play as he was involved for the U18s.

 

Down at Tavistock, Jacob Shore ended his time with the Lambs with a lovely ending, a goal!

It was late heartbreak for the Glovers on Boxing Day, with a late Eastleigh equaliser, there’s was late goals in some of our loanee’s games too.

Harvey Greenslade was back in the Weston-super-Mare starting line up for their clash away at Truro, all was well for the Seagulls as the clock ticked beyond 90 minutes, a Reuben Reid goal (assisted by Greenslade) was all that separated the sides, but a late Truro goal snatched a point.

 

It was a battle of the Glovers loanees as Jordan Thomas’ Torquay took on Will Buse’s W*ymouth.

The game ended 2-2 with both of our players in their respective starting line ups.

Into the regional divisions and Tavistock found a 95th minute equaliser against Cribbs FC, unfortunately Jacob Shore was an unused sub, Sol Padmore started for Bridport as they made light work of Axminster Town 4-0.

That, is pretty much that with Sherborne not playing until Saturday.

  

Whilst the Glovers’ Men’s first team were battling miles and miles of motorway here’s how the plethora of loanees were getting on.

Firstly, as the headline suggests, Harvey Greenslade was originally listed in the Weston-super-Mare line up at 2pm, but before 3pm rolled around he’d been replaced by former Glover Reuben Reid.

After the match, Scott Bartlett said it was a ‘precautionary’ move after rolling his ankle, but with options dwindling in the Yeovil attacking line, someone like Harvey Greenslade up our sleeve might come in handy, let’s hope it’s nothing serious.

 

Over at Yeo-quay United, the current Glover, Jordan Thomas, wasn’t named in the match day squad along with the plethora of former Glovers as the Gulls won 1-0 against Hemel Hempstead Town.

At the wrong end of the table, W*ymouth drew 0-0 with Chelmsford, a clean sheet for Will Buse.

 

Into the local leagues and Josh Haskett came off the bench for Sherborne in their 3-1 win over Portland Utd.

Sol Padmore, who impressed for the Under 18s in midweek, was back in the starting line up for Bridport FC in their 1-1 draw with Honiton.

Jacob Shore, who captained the youngsters in the Somerset Men’s Premier Cup was an unused substitute for Tavistock AFC as they fell to defeat to Westbury.

A busy week for the Glovers and those associated to Yeovil Town out and about on loan.

We start in the National League South and Harvey Greenslade has his first two appearances for Weston-super-Mare in the books.

The forward made his debut appearance in a 0-0 draw at Hampton & Richmond on Tuesday night and started for the Seagulls in their 1-1 draw at home to third-from-bottom Enfield Town on Saturday.

If the aim of moving to North Somerset was for the ex-Bristol Rovers’ youngster to get minutes, he’s had 180 of them in the first two appearances. Weston’s next match is a rearranged Somerset Men’s Premier Cup second round tie at Huish Park on Wednesday night.

Defender Jordan Thomas is top of the National League South with his Torquay side, the defender played the full 90 minutes for the Gulls on Saturday in their 2-0 win over sixth-placed Farnborough Town.

At the other end of the league. W*ymouth had a quick turnaround from their cup final in midweek.

They were beaten 3-0 by Hemel Hempstead Town. Glovers’ goalkeeper Will Buse was back between the sticks. 

They probably won’t make a commemorative mug about this one.

Into the local divisions and Corey Koerner was in the Sherborne Town starting line-up in midweek.

They were beaten fairly soundly by AFC Stoneham, but were in far better form on Saturday winning 3-0 – sadly, team-sheets are tough to come by, we cannot tell you if Koerner was involved. 

Down at Tavistock, young defender Jacob Shore was used from the bench in a 1-0 away loss to Evesham Utd. 

He was carded not long after coming on.

At Bridport, Under-18s’ player Sol Padmore was in the starting line up for their 6-3 win over Elburton Villa, young striker George Geraghty is also with the ‘Port now and was used from the bench.

Mason Alden started for Welton Rovers in their defeat by Saltash United.

 

Whilst the Glovers were winning at Woking, the loanees were out and about getting some game time in.

Firstly, defender Jordan Thomas scored his first goal as a Torquay United player, they gave Enfield Town a good hiding in the National League South and Thomas got the ball rolling with the Gulls’ first goal.

Torquay sit third in the table with only Truro City and Weston-super-Mare above them… they really should name that the National League South-West.

Although, at the other end, managerless W*ymouth were beaten 1-0 at home by Tonbridge Angels.

A single Jeremy Santos goal the difference there. Will Buse was between the sticks and by all accounts, did very little wrong.

The seagull botherers, who travel to Huish Park for an FA Trophy third round tie on Saturday, now sit second-from-bottom of the tale without a manager following the dismissal of Mark Moseley during the week.

Young defender Jacob Shore was an unused sub for Tavistock in Southern League Division One South in a 3-2 win over Ciderford Town but he did get the full 90 minutes in a midweek victory over Bashley.

Under-18s’ midfielder Sol Padmore was in Bridport’s starting line-up, but they fell to defeat to Newquay AFC in the South West Peninsula League (East).

Sherborne Town lost 3-2 to Hamble FC. Team news is sparse for this one, it’s unlikely that Under-18s’ captain Corey Koerner would have been involved due to his England Colleges Debut on Friday, we’ll update this article if we spot any involvement for Josh Haskett.

It was a disappointing afternoon for the first team and it was not too much better for those Glovers out on loan whose matches survived Storm Bert at the weekend.

Defender Jordan Thomas made his first league appearance for Torquay United as they were held to a goalless draw at Boreham Wood, a result which keeps them in the National League South play-off places.

At Hornchurch, Will Buse was in goal as W*ymouth’s unbeaten run came to an end with a 1-0 defeat which keeps them both the wrong side of the relegation zone.

For the young Glovers out on loan, there were postponements for Sherborne Town, Welton Rovers, Bridport, Sturminster Newton and Tavistock which prevented them getting any game time.

Time for another round up of what our loanees have been up to out and about on Saturday.

Firstly, there was a debut for Jordan Thomas, he started for Torquay in their FA Trophy game against Truro.

His new side came out on top 1-0 thanks to a second half goal from Dan Hayfield.

Before his debut, Thomas gave an interview to the club’s YouTube channel where he described the move as a ‘no brainer’, you can listen to that… here.

Also in FA Trophy action were that lot down by the seaside, who were playing the other lot by the seaside.

W*ymouth, with Will Buse in goal beat Weston-super-Mare 3-2 to progress to the next round of the Trophy.

He’s also had a little YouTube clip made of him, give that a watch here, if you like.

Jacob Shore was in the Tavistock line up for their 2-2 draw against Malvern Town, another solid display for the defender in that one.

Mason Alden was in the Welton Rovers team that lost 2-0 to Brixham whilst team news hasn’t been helpful in deciphering if Nansimir Nanev (Sturminster Newton) or Sol Padmore (Bridport) played for their teams.

There was no Corey Koerner or Josh Haskett in the Sherborne side
