Matt Harrold out on loan

from the Friday update on the official site.

"I can also confirm that I have just agreed to let Matt Harrold go on loan to Grimsby Town for one month. Matt will go straight into the first team squad for tomorrow's game at Oxford. He will continue to train with us at the start of the week before training with Grimsby on Thursday and Friday in preparation for their match. Matt needs first team games and is champing at the bit for an opportunity which recently I have not been able to give him. I am sure he will do very well as he has a good character and a good scoring ratio."

You can tell everyone had their bothered face on by the fact it took 7 hours for anyone to mention it.

Feel a little bit sorry for Matt.............I mean Grimsby, talk about the arsehole of the UK.

He'll come out better for it hopefully....and it has been mentioned on other threads.

If he plays as a striker,he's in position,and has a chance of scoring.When Martin plays him out of position in midfield,he looks lost because he's a striker.Hopefully a few games up front will do him good

I feel this is the end for Matt! :(

Think I'd prefer to trust Martin's judgment. Matt nees 90 minutes every week.

Shame we don't have a reserve team anymore.

100% agree with that. For those who have written him off remember that hat-trick against a non league side, whatever the opposition it was three quality finishes. MA appears to have some faith in him and for the majority of the season he's been played out of position. I'm more than happy to reserve judgement and hop[e Matty makes it as a Bees player.

Nice one Matt,show the doubters in the best way possible:banging in goals

Good on him,goal a game is what we like

Long may it continue, let him get matchfit and hungry at Grimsby for a bit longer. Another of MA's gameplans that seems to be working

Russell Slade seems to be pleased with him so far.

I think this could be just what Matt needs, the chance to put himself up against some of the bruisers you can find in League 2 week in, week out. If that doesn't help him develop physically, which is what I think is lacking in his game, then I imagine it would be time for him to move on at the end of the season.

If he keeps up this form though, I'd be delighted to see him back at GP to try and challenge Deon and Isiah for a starting place.

Has he ever got in the box for us this season?

To be fair to the lad Edmundo perhaps your question should have been "Has he ever got in the box for us this season..when he's not been played out of position as a midfielder instead of as a striker" ;)

Think MA has got it right with the loan move and I hope Matty keeps banging in the goals for the Mariners before returning to us and carrying on his goal scoring exploits when given the chance.

It's great to see Matt doing well but I don't think we should get too excited.

The defences of Boston and Oxford are a very different proposition compared to the likes of Sheff Wed and Hull City.

Yep that's fair enough. Even so, I'd like to have seen Prince Harry do more for us when he's played - but central midfield is not his position!

Quite right on the evidence we saw in the last 10 minutes of our 3-3 draw with Sheff Wed I'd say Boston & Oxford's defences would feel most aggrieved with the comparison. Ok I'll concede that Hull may be a little better ;)

Ok it is early day's but it's good to see any Bees striker hitting the net with any regularity.

Matt Harold Going Nowhere

In todays Tim Street Chronicle MA is quoted as saying that Matt Harold isn`t going anywhere, so I think you can safely say he will be with us next season. Or maybe offered a contract extension.

A bit harsh, LDB. The lad's hardly been given a chance this season, and when he has, he hasn't exactly been played in his best position.

I, for one, sincerely hope that his goalscoring record continues for Grimsby, but no-one should be totally surprised if it doesn't - he's only a young 'un and is still learning.

Give him a chance - he's a reasonable prospect, in my humble opinion. Go for it, Matty!
 

Matt Harrold out on loan

OK - fair enough. I do agree that maybe he needs a run of 2 or 3 consecutive games as an out-and-out front man, not someone coming up from a deeper position. Time will tell.

Make that 4 or 5 at least - you can't really gauge too much from 2 games, can you? This is obviously why he's gone to Grimsby, and so far, it would appear that he's well in credit from his 2 games. I hope that he keeps banging in those goals while he's there so that it gives MA a bit of a selection headache when he returns - just the sort of headache that I'm sure MA is looking for!
 

Matt Harrold out on loan

show 'em what you can do Matty!
 

Matt Harrold out on loan

I suspect that as was the case in the past with Marcus Bent and Marcus Gayle Matt Harrold is a rather better player and prospect than a lot of Brentford fans at this stage believe. Give the lad a chance to prove it.

Good to know that the BFC website is as up to date as ever....:rolleyes:

interesting we are re-calling him after deons suspention and not for saturday as i spose he is the closest thing to a target striker we have got.
 

Matt Harrold out on loan

Does he get to go to Abu Dhabi now?
 

Matt Harrold out on loan

he wont score for Bees this season, he is just coming back for a bit of colour on the bench
 

Matt Harrold out on loan

not sure if it can be called recalling.

Says the loan was due to end on the 4th, which is a Monday.

It was known he only trains with Grimsby on a Thurs and Fri, so it was kind of obvious the loan would end after their game this Saturday?!
 

Matt Harrold out on loan

It says the load was due to end on the 4th and he'll be returning after the match on Sat (the 2nd).

Not so much a recall, more the loan ending and not being extended
 

Matt Harrold out on loan

'Daddy' marries Camilla soon and he would have to be back for that.

He's pretty useless, not sad he's gone on lone!
 

Matt Harrold out on loan

Can anyone confirm if the Prince has been recalled for Saturday, some reports say he is back for us, some, like the Grimbo official site, say he is playing on Saturday for them.
Personally I say get him back, him and Fitz up front, Rankin on the right, tabby on the left.

Sporting Life states:

Matt Harrold will return to Griffin Park on Sunday after manager Martin Allen opted to recall the Brentford striker from his loan spell at Grimsby.

The 20-year-old forward, who scored two goals in five appearances for the Mariners, will play in their game at Mansfield on Saturday before returning to west London.

Grimsby manager Russ Slade was keen to keep the former Dagenham man for a further month, but Allen is looking to boost his side's play-off chances and will keep to the original one-month agreement.
