Both Curtis Good and Brad Inman are going out on loan immediately, with Curtis joining Bradford City in League Two, and Brad going out on loan to Crewe Alexandra, who play in League One.
Curtis Good – sent out on loan to Bradford City
Curtis Good joins the League Two club until January, and he has been a standout in the Reserves U21 side this season, since joining the club from Melbourne Heart in a six year deal, in the summer for around £400K.
It turns out that Gateshead manager Ian Bogie had tried to get Good on loan in the Conference, but Good gets to play in a higher class of football in the Football League, and Bradford City are fighting for promotion from League Two, and are currently in 5th place in the league table.
And one of our other top youngsters, another Australian – Brad Inman – has been sent on loan to Crewe Alexandra, and Brad will be on loan through January 2nd.
Brad Inman – on loan to league One club Crewe Alexandra
This is what Inman told the local press today:
“It showed when they went out on loan they came back as better players.” “You come back and learn a lot.” “It is more important than playing in the reserves.” “You are playing to win.”
“You are playing for points and for promotion.” “I can learn from it.”
Crewe Alexandra are currently in 14th position in League One.
It’s good that our youngsters are sent out on loan to get experience of first team football, and we’ll be keeping an eye on how these two lads perform through January 2nd.

Comment #6Seems a strange time for QPR to sack Hughes. Isn’t Arry in Ukraine today? It’s either desparation from QPR to prevent Arry signing the Ukraine, and get him in… or… RDM for QPR boss? The first option I suspect.

Comment #13Holy crap, I would absolutely love to see what kind of manager we would get if Pardew was removed.

Comment #14Wizard…today should be a celebration of Ibiza – we can lynch Pardew tomorrow 😀 lol
…not everything is bad; Marv was great I thought, Santon once again stood out and Anita was solid I thought.
Rainrix…I think Ibiza is one of those people who get shy from all the attention 😉 (so lets sing for him when he comes on…haha) I have a surprise for him 😀

Comment #17Anita did well last nigh i thought, lost count of how many successful tackles/interceptions he made. Also marv has to start against Southampton especially with benny and cabaye out, he’s the only one left in the team who can play an inventive ball, he tried it a few times last night cisse just kept getting caught offside 🙁

Comment #18TDS
I’ve been saying it all along. I agree with catchy and everyone, think Pardew is a one-trick pony, but what they don’t seem to understand is who the hell MA might install after Pardew.
Megson? Steve Keane’s clubless now i hear.
This might sound like a joke but look at our succession of managers during his reign…Sam to fan favorite KK. That hit the fan so then…..JFK. took awhile to lose that one. then we end up with Hughton. some of us were hoping for better. in the end became probably the second most-respected (if not the most) manager in modern-times, sacked and replaced with…….alan f***ing pardew, freshly sacked from a D3 side (Ok, some like him now, some don’t, but i think 99% of fans were utterly disgusted)
There is no rung MA will not find further down. I agree with his model, but I also know the damage he can wreak.

Comment #19Just heard a rumour guys…..nothing much in it, just a bit of gossip really.
Madrid are planning a huge summer spend as Ronaldo is meant to be leaving (shock return to man united).
They are looking to bring in cabaye after his recent performances for france (particularly against spain) as they have lost patience with diarra and to a lesser extent modric.

Comment #22If AP should at some point leave or get fired, then there’s only one replacement i would want.
David Moyes.
However, i’ve still got plenty of faith for AP, and he will see us through this, he’s a good manager.

Comment #25@rainrix
Anita was our top passer last night with 43/56 passes completed.
I think both Biggie and Anita did equally good, but Biggies nicks it for me just.
Anita had a bit of extra oomph in him defensivly tho, he refused to be dispossesed.
I remember one incident spesifically, when a bigger Maritimo player almost got the ball off him, but he leaned into him, refusing to give it away.
It resulted in a free kick for them, but i still liked to see him put some muscle into it. More of that.

Comment #26I honestly don’t think even MA, with his record of terrible decision making, has the fortitude to admit he was wrong and sack Pardwho, recently that 8 year-contract he’s granted Pardwho is weighing heavy on his mind, I bet. He’d look a fool, again, if he was to sack him.
Unfortunately, we’re the ones who suffer, because Pardwho is floundering and the players simply don’t believe in him and his mumpsimuses.

Comment #27I think its fair that we start asking questions now of where we are going under Pardew. I’ve supported him from day 1, but there were enough decent players on the pitch last night to win well, and play good football. Neither happened. He is too negative ( didnt press home our advantage ) , and the team either lacks the confidence to play good football, or isnt trained to do so. Therein lies the big question.

Comment #28Dannyo… Yeah i think i remember the bit you are talking about he fell to the ground and was still using his chest to try and keep the ball before the whistle went good play.
Jesper… He has been sacked m8

Comment #30I still think pardew will get us improved, i’m happy giving him time.
What I do not undersatnd is an 8 year contract. Why would anyone get that? its longer than deal ferguson and wenger get.
Football changes fast and 8 years is a long time. Whether we agree or disagree pardew is the right man for now I think it’s safe to say none of us know if he will be the right man for 8 years.

Comment #32So we have been poor all season, the football has been shockingly bad and now the only player who has excited the fans and kept them awake (Ben Arfa) is injured !!! Hope they give out free pillows instead of scarfs in the stadium.
Team for the weekend – Team plan being pace on the counter attack with Ameobi / Obertan as we couldnt pass our way through a sunday league side.
———————————– Krul ——————————–
Simpson ——– Taylor ————- Coloccini ——– Santon

Comment #35Munster…I’ll agree we should have pressed onwards last night – one of the major concerns this season has been Pardew’s reluctance to do so.
…he wants to ride it out which is very difficult and very dangerous.
Rainrix…not that I think Hughes was doing good or so, but I honestly think managers get sacked way to quickly in these times.

Comment #36munster
hughes is a good manager
did well with blackburn, did well with fulham, and was doing ok with man city, not great but didn’t get long.
The problem is QPR not hughes. His swuad was terrible, he had no time to scout many players so when with a lot of have had a decent, not brilliant, record in the prem league and will have looked ot build.
Unfortunately he can’t get them playing well so ultimately it is his fault but I still rate him as a manager.

Nov 23, 2012 at 12:08 PM
Comment #39Although at the pace at which redknapp has agreed a deal, that makes me think that a deal was made behind hughes’ back and once the details were agreed boom hughes has been sacked.

Comment #40fray
well alonso and essien both play deeper than cabaye.
he would be against modric, kaka and ozil.
kaka has been poor and modric has failed to impress a lot from the odd games i’ve seen and general commentary in games.
I can’t see it myself, but the interest is reported….the problem is cabaye is 10x the player for france compared to newcastle.
