    Sensible move for the lad.

    Hope he progresses.

    At youth and U21 level I have been impressed with Colchester United for a few years now. I'm sure the other occasional non first team watchers would probably agree.
    They focus on playing football and doing things properly, and as a basic undertow for Colchester United their set up is to be respected in my view.
    They will know full well about Brendan, and if at first team level the question was asked around their club as to who might be a decent loan with first team possibilities, then staff in the know there will know what they're doing suggesting Brendan.
    A good loan move that provides a decent platform for further development...I will be surprised if they view Brendan as a right full back.

    He can link up with Brandon Hanlan again.

    He hasn't reached the level of a 38 mile pass yet, at least not with sufficient accuracy.

    Surprised that Morgan has not gone anywhere, and Foster-Caskey maybe

    Considering HG's normal level of accuracy, Gillingham and Colchester are pretty close!

    He could have - if he had joined Gillingham.

    Don't be mean to harveys_gardener you lot. He was quick off the mark to notice that Colchester are playing Gillingham tonight. Obviously what he meant.

    Of poor knowledge? No you are definitely guilty...

    I read quickly as Would you join Colchester... early night in order I think :)

    On a serious note I think it should be a perfect place to get some minutes, best of the luck and I look forward to hearing about your progress.

    Is the football league loan window now closed? So... Confirmed no league loans for anybody else?

    I know we can still loan to non-league... but that wouldn't be useful for the likes of Morgan and JFC

    Yup; no one can move to a team within the 92 Football League teams unless they were a free transfer prior to it closing

    I thought the loan window closed at the same time as the main window? If it has only closed now what was the big panic about signing Kayal and Hemed? Why could could they not be signed as loans after the "deadline" and converted to permanent later?

    Championship/Premiership closed a while back. Everyone else's stayed open til last night.

    I should have said L1/2 loan window, not Football League.

    I think we like to send the younger players to non league, it only ties them for three months if it doesn't work out.

    I believe there are still 1 month loan periods, plus for longer loans players can be recalled after a month - as you could until just a few years ago in the Football League.

    Ideal for young players to cut their teeth and gain competitive senior football experience.
    Toughens them up too.

    And you can bring them back after a month, if needed.

    Shame he never really had a chance when most of his age did.  Sounded a promising youngster but you can't keep them all.  Good luck to him.

    Seemed promising, really wanted him to come through. We've been wiping out all our hyphenated crew over the past 2 years, and look where it's got us...

    I thought his loan spell at Colchester was pretty unsuccessful, so slightly surprised they've come back for him.
