I see that Jack Doyle has gone out on loan to Maidstone. Is he allowed to do that because they are a non-League team?
If so, would Travis be able to go to somewhere like Wrexham, Salford or Fylde?
Or is he disqualified because he is officially a member of the first-team squad?
Does anyone know?
I would have thought time in any of those teams would be highly beneficial for him.
All three are quite nearby and doing well.
Yes I believe non league clubs can sign players on a short term loan as for players with first team experience not so sure.
If Travis could move to say Salford for 3 months then move to a high end league one team in January it would only be beneficial to a player currently 5th choice defensive midfielder.
Going against what I put up on my previous forum reply 😉!
Although these are forum type ‘musings’ , nothing in this really causes me the same as: in this situation TM knows what he’s got, and knows what is necessary ie this player needs real game time.
So if that requires a loan away, that’s what will be pursued.
TM and staff see these guys every day in training so is far better equipped to make the necessary calls.
As Champ says : trust in TM 😊
Could we get away with demoting him to the Under-23s?!!Quote:

With all due respect. What will Travis learn from the coaches at Wrexham? Their facilities will be poor, compared to ours. It would not benefit him. And the standard is 2 levels below what he should be playing.Quote:

He was creating problems in the dressing room prior to the Bristol City game and taken out of the match day squad and fined.
Maybe is punishment?
I know your probably going to say Dack here, but it's not the same situation. I here this lad is a problem.
I wouldn't want him playing in the non league however. That's as pointless as not playing him.
Is it? We have seen how PL Under-21 teams struggle against D.2 clubs, playing half their reserves, in the minor Cup competitions. Senior football is surely better for Travis than "punishing" him for his attitude. I think that's pure speculation, anyway.Quote:
