90s loan time periods 08:32 - Sep 10 with 1810 views | Jeff_winger | I might be remembering this wrong, but I'm sure loan's in the 90s tended to be 1 month at time? I don't remember half season or season long loans being a thing? Can anyone remember a loan that lasted more than a month to three months? For example my memory of Harewood was he came for 4 weeks, missed an open goal from on the goal line and then went back to Nottingham where he suddenly played awesome | | | | |

Not true either, Jamie Clapham and Martijn Reuser both came on loan initially for example. | |

Loans seemed to be used then to fill in for just a few weeks while a specific player was out. I remember seeing Stein, Jonathan Hunt and Vernazza come in for very short spells amongst probably others. | | | |

Thanks Phil this makes sense | | | |
90s loan time periods on 21:00 - Sep 11 with 900 views | gosblue | My memory is a bit sketchy but I think loans became more common once reserve teams were scrapped. I remember seeing some big names getting pitch time in the reserves after just signing or coming back from injury. There were some decent crowds too. U23 teams were allowed a couple of over-age players but apart from that there weren’t many opportunities to get competitive minutes. | | | |

Didnt he miss an open goal against Man City? up there with Harewood hitting the post against Oxford from 3 yards when the ball was on it's way in | | | |
