Well spotted I'd assume with a plan to send him a step up having showcased his talents

 

[Gazza Bee]

Good luck to him - we have a group of young CBs now, would be nice to have one become a regular in the coming years or at least part of the 4 most likely starters

Or extended, or off on loan to a higher division, having hopefully pissed his spell there.

He had an absolute belter according to Crewe fans. Will surely be at a L1 team after January

MOTM in a 1-0 win apparently. Amazing signs already.

What is going on at Brentford FC, not only is the first team doing brilliant but our youngsters on loan are giving MotM performances left right and centre

Concedes a penalty for handball that’s converted by Walsall’s, ex-Bee, Aaron Pressley.
Crewe 0-1 Walsall HT

Left on his bum by the goal scorer in the 1-1 with York. Not a great week for him…

But that’s why he’s out on loan; to experience the level of football and to be tested. All players make mistakes in games and they are made more obvious to those watching when the mistake takes place in the vicinity of the ball. No doubt, he will learn from it and apply what he’s learnt when he finds himself in a similar situation.

Just watched that goal. I wouldn't really put that down as being a significant error. The forward he was marking laid the ball off to another forward who someone else had left unmarked.
