With a spate of Shrimpers returning from loans/disappearing without trace I thought we didn't have any out on loan other than Emile Acquah who went to Maidenhead but didn't play but that's not quite the case. Here's the current situation as best I can figure it out.
Conference (level 5)
Emile Acquah joined Maidenhead for a month's loan on 28th January but then wasn't in Alan Devonshire's squad for Saturday. He played for the u23s midweek so is presumably fit.
Michael Klass was recalled from his loan spell at Bromley 23rd January. In all he started 5 matches for Bromley and made 13 sub appearances. He played 491 minutes in total for them.
Harry Seaden's work experience loan spell at Dagenham finished early last month. He played in just the 2 FA Trophy games for them and did some bench warming for their National League games. He appears to be currently injured.
Conference South (level 6)
Tom Clifford was recalled from his successful loan spell at Concord 12th January and started for the firsts on Saturday.
Rob Howard, who had a loan spell at Dartford earlier this year appears to be back in the Conference South this time with Braintree - although I can't find anything announcing this move. He played in their 4-1 win at Oxford City on 18th Jan and then their subsequent defeat and draw at home to Slough (0-1) and Weymouth (1-1) respectively.
The other loanee that went to the Conference South was Harry Phillips back in November. Not sure he actually ever played a Conference South game for them, which seems surprising considering how well he played Saturday. Shame he's now injured.
Level 7
O'Shane Stewart's loan to Margate appears to have ended early December.
Level 8
Freddy Eastwood Jr's
paperwork from mid December still doesn't seem to have been sorted
. Anyone know what's going on there?
Jon Benton fractured his foot back in November whilst on loan at Great Wakering. He's due back playing soon, not sure if that would be with us or Wakering again.
Zak Pianim appears to still be/back at Brentwood. He came on 21st and 25th January for ex-Shrimper youths (Anthony Furlonge and Tom Anderson) around the hour mark. I'd presume he's making his way back from injury as he hadn't appeared for them since mid-November. Ide Osimeh's loan doesn't appear to have been extended.
Harlow extended the loans of Miles Mitchell-Nelson and Terrell Egbri to the end of the season as I reported in my post of 12th January however since then they played in Harlow's 4-2 defeat at Chipstead on 18th January and that's it for Harlow - both were at Roots Hall (with Miles Mitchell-Nelson making his debut) Saturday instead of at Harlow who won 2-0 at Hertford. They played midweek for the u23s instead of for Harlow at home to Ware. Think we may have screwed Harlow there
again - they were flying up until October when we recalled Matt Rush and since then have been really struggling. Now we've told them they can have two players until the end of the season but have been claiming first dibs on them. Oops.
Sam Knock, who joined Hullbridge on 19th October, seemed to have finished
his impressive loan spell 2nd November. He played 3 Isthmian North matches for them and a Velocity Trophy. I'm guessing he's injured as he hasn't featured for the u23s since then either.
