Hammers on Loan 2012/13

[Johnny Byrne's Boots]

From today's BBC FA Cup match previews

Birmingham are without on-loan West Ham winger Robert Hall, who has been denied permission to play by his parent club.

is this standard operating procedure or should we read more into it?

From today's BBC FA Cup match previews is this standard operating procedure or should we read more into it?

As far as I know, it's common when it's not a full-season loan, to prevent the player being cup-tied.

[Nolan4]

Hall's out on loan until 12 January, isn't he? So I think the club just wants to avoid any injury

[baritalia]

It's not to avoid injury. At the time we loaned Hall we were in terrible situation with injuries. We'd like to keep that option open in case we progress and Hall returns, simple as that. Birmingham really wanted him and were prepared to accept our terms.

I notice Stephen Henderson didn't even make the bench for Ipswich today. Unless his loan has ended already, I wonder if he is not allowed to play today.

Source? Can't find anything online other than a 3 month loan that started on the 16th October.

Lets get Rob Hall back as well.We need as many of our fit players as possible with a very busy schedule coming up.Believe Hall can comeback as from saturday.

I'd say its probably not necessary now considering we have just signed 2 strikers, & have one coming back from injury in the next few weeks. Looking pretty solid in the wide positions as well at the moment, best to let him see out the season there & get some regular competitive action.

[dplus91]

Hall is getting valuable experience at Brum. We should let him stay there for a while longer, barring another injury crisis. Pointless bringing him back for the chance of an odd 15 mins here and there. He wouldn't even make the bench if everyone was fit.

Hopefully we can give him a couple of starts in April, assuming we're safe in mid-table.

[dplus91]

Glad to see further to my recommendation (!) above, Hall's loan has been extended until 16 Feb with a recall option, thereafter to be reviewed on a monthly basis.

Paul McCallum first half double for Wimbledon

They've come from a goal down.

[dplus91]

Yep that's 4 goals in 3 or 4 games isn't it? Encouraging. Hope he bags a hat trick.
