Bit of a mixed bag this year with the loans as a whole.
Souttar:
Our best loan, an important part of the team and we've suffered without him, particularly Anel and Gilchrist.
Gilchrist:
Was good at RB but his performances dipped when Souttar got injured, as the two had a good connection on the right side of our defence, don't think him and Anel worked well together.
Holding:
Not played enough but has looked good most of the time he does play, hopefully has an opportunity to prove his fitness for the playoffs so we'll see what happens.
Clarke:
Some people will say it was a poor signing, I'd say it's just an unlucky situation as he's spent most of his time injured (that just happens sometimes), he got promoted with Ipswich last season but didn't make the step up, came to us, inconsistent performances and eventually injured.
Choudhury:
Our second best loan imo, there are question marks about him as a CDM but we needed him when Souza was injured (and he did a decent job) and more recently at RB where he's defensively strong, even against a good LW in Jaidon Anthony on Monday.
JRS:
His output this season is better than his performances (7 goals and a handful of assists), a luxury player for me, especially compared to Brooks who has less goal contributions but is more of a team player.
BBD:
I don't think he's been great, but I don't think he's been as bad as his stats (and some performances) suggest, for an inside left forward/LW who's played out of position at RW since he arrived (not to mention he wasn't fully fit when he arrived), he's still got 4 goals, 3/4 assists (would have had more G/A's with some better finishing from himself and some teammates).
For someone playing out of position, that's not a bad return, especially as JRS (playing in his preferred RW position and having been here longer) only has a few more G/A's, it's also about half the goal contributions that Hamer has (9 goals, 7 assists?), who has played more games and also doesn't play in his strongest position.
