CCFC PLAYERS OUT ON LOAN:


22 year old Isaak Davies struck his second goal for KV Kortrijk and helped to earn them their first win of the season.

The Vincent Tan-owned Belgian club are struggling at the bottom end of the table, having released their manager, who has been replaced by Glen De Boeck. The club are in disarray and most of the staff have walked out saying the owner is rude and refuse to work for him.

Davies made a good impression on his new boss, scoring a well-taken goal in the 2-1 win over Cercle Brugge. It's his second goal in six appearances for KVK.


Fellow Bluebirds loanee Sheyi Ojo was brought on for 25 minutes at the end of the match.


Joel Bagan, playing for SV Zulte Waregem in the second tier in Belgium, was brought on for 26 minutes as his side fell to a 1-0 defeat at the hands of Club NXT.

Ollie Denham is having to wait patiently for his chance at Dundee United.

He had to sit on the bench once again as they beat Queen's Park 4-1. He is still waiting for his league debut, having played twice in the cup for them.

Tom Davies at Kilmarnock is having a little more exposure, having played 66 minutes against Ross County and 45 minutes against Dundee FC, however he was an unused sub against St Mirren at the weekend.



Eli King, has been playing regularly for League Two side Morecambe. He put in another 90-minute shift for the Shrimpers in their 2-1 win over Forest Green on Saturday. It's looking a fruitful loan spell for the midfielder.



In the lower leagues, Rohan Luthra was lauded for his performance for Slough Town in the National League South as they drew 2-2 with Farnborough.
The goalkeeper made a number of impressive saves, by all accounts.


Chanka Zimba, meanwhile, didn't get off the bench for Maidenhead United in their draw with Chesterfield in the National League.

Sadly, I wouldn’t be surprised if none of these appear in a city shirt again. Not a first team shirt anyway. We were told how good they were as prospects but it seems our manager (rightly imo) is yet to convinced by any of them and they may now be in Ladt chance saloon as they say.

I think your right, they are not good enough, that’s why Bulut has shipped them out.

Think that's a bit harsh on Isaak Davies who has 2 goals in 5 games (3 starts) for a dreadful side in a fairly strong league. Next summer will be make or break for him.

Ollie Denham I think may still stand a chance as central defenders are usually a bit later to kick on.

Eli King is playing weekly at 20 years old in a competitive and physical league.

As the article has said Tom Davies is picking up minutes here and there in the Scottish Premiership, which is surely better than being stuck in our U23s or Welsh Premiership again, and he is younger than the rest of the list, still only 19 so I think he still gets a few years before anyone can write him off.

Bagan's loan was a bit weird, I'm still not quite sure what to make of it especially after being given a new contract.

Luthra again for goalkeepers it's just about playing, and he has been, not being stuck as a backup so you never know.

Obviously Ojo and Zimba will be gone at the end of the season though.

Some fair points but I don't share your optimism.
I did say last chance saloon which could mean a way back in for one or two.
Denham is the only one that I've seen something in though and it's better he (and the rest) learn their trades elswhere rather than in our under 21s atm imo.
All opions though mate eh :thumbup:
