    Didn't see that one coming! Good for the lads to get some competitive game time, all being well.
    Thought this might be a breakthrough season for Wolfe though

    Gets them some game time and they’re all together sharing the experience. Hopefully it’ll be a good 6 months for them.

    Good luck lads.

    Yes, if you are that age it would be a great experience. Think this is a great idea. I guess if they get game time it may help us to sell them to a European club easier, which we need if we are to develop players IMO.

    Esbjerg fB got thrashed 5-1 in a pre-season friendly a few days ago so they probably need a little more quality. Sounds like a win, win, win situation - let's hope it works out for all parties :)

    Top place is Denmark. Very friendly young people, ahem, and of course the best Legoland in the world. Best of luck lads and I hope you all come back better equipped with "lifeskills" and possibly a Danish partner. Oh, and don't forget the irresistible Danish Bacon.

    Looks like a sound move. Familiar faces will be a bonus. Especially given language barriers. Although I suspect most Danes have English as their second language.

    Good luck lads. This is a big benefit of the owners owning other clubs. Our lads can go experience another country, lifestyle, language and way of life instead of pointless loans to English non league sides that are never a good thing for us to do.

    Does Brexit allow us to send players to the EU but not vice-versa?

    So they've got 5 players on loan from us. Wonder how many can play / be part of the match day squad?

    The majority of Europeans can all speak better English than we can.
    It's one of our worse attributes that we can't communicate in other languages.

    Having eaten what feels like several pigs in the last week down in Hereford/Shropshire... I'm not feeling the bacon vibe! Give me til the weekend!

    Had this debate a few times. For a start, the majority of Europeans may have a smattering of English but they do not speak better English than us. However, I'll grant you that the Scandinavians and Dutch are exceptional. As for the English having a poor attribute, what language do you learn when everyone else's 2nd language is English? If a Pole speaks to a Scandinavian, they speak in English. I got GCEs in German and French but the only places in Europe where they are any use are France, Germany, Austria and Switzerland. I've travelled all over the world and English is the language to learn. Fortunately or unfortunately for us that is our native tongue.
