Midfielder Ed Upson has joined League Two Barnet on a month's loan. Upson has failed to make an impact on the Town first team since making sub appearances in the Carling Cup ties against Shrewsbury and Peterborough early in the season, although he had a spell out with glandular fever.

Bees boss Ian Hendon says he and his first team coach have been keeping an eye on the 20-year-old: "Lee Harrison and I have watched Upson umpteen times. He is a good young player. The young lads I am bringing in at the moment are players who might be available in the future."

Upson, who has also recently been watched by Blue Square Premier side Histon, is out of contract in the summer. Manager Roy Keane recently said that the Bury St Edmunds based player had work to do if he was to extend his Town stay.

Last season, Upson, who scored the winning goal in the 2005 FA Youth Cup final, spent time on loan at Stevenage Borough, making only one brief appearance as a sub.

forensic_bloo added 15:46 - Mar 12 Going to Barnet's game tomorrow, so looking forward to seeing Ed play. The Bees look after their players well, and the training facilities there are brand new and up to most Championship sides standards, so his development should continue. However, Ian Hendon seems to be indicating that the two players he has managed to loan this week could be possible signings in the summer.

stinkiusminkius added 16:28 - Mar 12 Bluetone, just remember that you are not allowed to state your opinion. After all we have just had one good win against Cardiff and therefore Keane is a god. The fact that its taken him so long to get a balanced team with players actually playing in their best positions, and that it partly came because of a suspension, should just be overlooked.

Bluetone added 17:43 - Mar 12 Aah now I understand. Mind you I do wonder how many of those worshipping at the feet (or many a couple of feet higher up) of Lord Keane are refugees from Manure.

ChambersM added 18:43 - Mar 12 he hasnt been given a chance, how about giving him 20 minutes at the end of a home match, as long as we're comfortable

Gus added 08:30 - Mar 13 Dispatched? Kentblue wtf is wrong with you, if Upson is up to standards he will sign a new contract. If he isn't, he'll just be like umpteen other youths who just weren't good enough. Since when is a one month loan being 'dispatched'. Idiot

yorkshire added 18:20 - Mar 13 No Id say that Gus is actually only taking sense and its idiots like you "Bluetone" that should do one and go and support the likes of Man U (their fans generally know f.a. about football as well)
