Going on loan to Bradford Park Avenue

@liam_wakefield
Been to the ground earlier today to sign the loan contract for Bradford park avenue #Drfc

Shame thought he could have made a step higher than BPA

[drfcsteve]

Ridiculous, what's he gonna learn playing for a club at that level, would be better off on the subs bench here.

[MrFrost]

Leaves us with plenty of cover at the back..........

[dickos1]

Better off on the subs bench?? Are you joking, playing regular football at that level will do him the world of good. He's never even played against adults until this year obviously he needs to gain experience, what good would him sitting on the bench here do?

Ridiculous, what's he gonna learn playing for a club at that level, would be better off on the subs bench here.

Watching games for 90 minutes? He is going to be getting first team football and experience on the pitch. He's still a lad learning his trade.

[dickos1]

Spurr jones and Mccombe along with martis will be our centre halves. He may even start the season with spurr there and husband at left back.
4 players for 2 positions is enough and is probably as many as we have had in recent years

[mushRTID]

Bradford Park Avenue are in the same league as Gainsborough. Anyone who went the other week will have seen that level will be a brilliant experience for these young lads to learn.

Suggesting he would be better sitting on the bench is the most ridiculous thing iv read on here since someone suggested Keane were better than Oasis!

[DonnyOsmond]

Yeah, Conference North isn't a bad standard. Hopefully he'll impress while he's there and end up in our first team in a couple of years.

[DearneValleyRover]

My only concern is the lack of cover we have. Martis injured. Quinn went off injured leaving us with 4 fit defenders and no subs. Hopefully this means we have someone coming in.

[Alan_Rovers]

It's a good move for him. He isn't good enough to play at League One level at the moment and by going out on loan he will get to play every week and develop as a player.

The alternative is we put him in our first team on a weekly basis where his weaknesses will get exposed and his confidence will take a battering, just like what happens with Gary Woods.

The difference of course is that Wakefield may develop into a half decent player, whereas Woods has no f**king chance now.

[MachoMadness]

Good for him, could be just what he needs. He needs to go out and make his mistakes at pro level, where he can be punished for them, and the he'll learn from them and come back a much sharper, more intelligent player.

The raw ability is there but there is much work to be done on him yet. This loan move will do him a world of good and to suggest he'd be better off sat on the bench is ridiculous.

[dknward2]

Only for a month to start so I would guess he will train during the week with us with one day at Bradford then the game for them will be good for him

Sure I read somewhere this week mate that Quinn is ok and training with the squad

Loan deal sorted. Going to the Ground tomorrow to sign the contract to go to Frickley Athletic for one Month. #DRFC #FAFC

2 down, 3 to go.

[RobTheRover]

I wouldnt be surprised to see a few of these pushing for first team places before the end of the season.

Bradford Park Avenue is another good move for a young Rovers player. He's not ready for League One but this will hopefully toughen him up a bit. Once he's back, aim for a Conference loan move. He's a next season player, always was.

Me too, and apparently he said on twitter that it was just bad cramp
