Good luck, lad. Hopefully learn to curb your 'enthusiasm'.

Will pay for himself with all the club fines he will have to pay for his disciplinary issues on pitch.

Better to have plenty of enthusiasm than not enough. Needs to learn that a slide tackle is a last resort, get yourself in the right position and you don’t need to.
Experience will help him with that.

Clearly not seen as the answer to our lack of combative CM player then!

or he’s been sent out on loan to get experience because atm he’s very raw and looks like he’s gonna get a yellow/red. Needs to go somewhere where he will play regularly and get some experience and learn to control his aggression.

I love the fact that he wants to get stuck in because we miss that in our team atm but needs more experience before he can push for a starting spot in our team.

Redditch United though?
What level is that?

He’s not a kid, he’s 20 years old.

The level below National League North/South. He's 21 next month too.

Redditch play at home on 3g.

That might have an influence on when he tackles, and when he has to hold back.
With AJ, that might be helpful.

Horton spoke well about his time there last season.

Not sure if the loan windows etc are shut higher up the pyramid. Dose of men's football will do him good.

To be honest, this is probably his level

They're still open above this level, but with them being part time it means he can train with Rovers too.

As i keep on saying about our players loaned out........................why to another Non- league team ?

They need to go against professionals so they get that true match quality.

This is third year away from the U18 he should be playing at a higher level. But for me he’s not the player some people think he is. Let’s see what he does at Redditch but I think this is his last year with us.

You can't loan to a League club between transfer windows. That, and as I said, if they're part time he can train here too.

Because if he went to a league club he wouldn’t get in.

Knee injury and subbed in the first half yesterday.

Redditch manager reckons that will probably end his loan with them.

Very bad news if that is the case as that will probably end his Doncaster rovers career aswel if he’s out for the season which is a shame because imo he has the ability to become a very good league 1 player with the right coaching but needed a full season playing regularly in a lower league to get him that experience.

Get well soon AJ

I hope the injury is not a season finisher for AJ. He was playing football.

Ben Blythe spends a lot of time on the bench at Farsley Celtic which is not good enough.

Liam Ravenhill came on as sub in his first game on Saturday.

Crying out to get a U21/23 team back at the club with regular competitive fixtures that doesn’t interfere with the first team playing budget.

Why is he doing a 'loser' sign in his official photo?
