Surprised Abbott not called up??
Wasn't expecting him to be, he was only on the fringes of his age-group squad for England and U20s is a bigger pool. L2 form won't get you in to a squad. If he managed the same form next season in the Championship then he would be straight in but bit doubtful that'll happen.

The loans have started at different points of the season, so without knowing when the various loans started, and sometimes player injuries resulting in missed games, its not always possible to compare one players minutes played with another.

However what is pleasing to see is that most of the players are getting a lot of minutes play, the obvious exceptions being Craig who has been injured and Dorrington who I suspect is still not fully over the injury he got at end of last season from which he wasn't declared physically fit until after Christmas ..... and match fitness ?

At the higher end of minutes played, youngsters Josh Keeley (2970 mins), George Abbott (2,920 mins), Ashley Phillips (2,749 mins), Jamie Donley (2,710 mins), Luka Vuskovic (2, 475), Alfie Devine (1,650 mins) will all have gained invaluable experience which will help their careers - and hopefully Spurs. Hopefully most of them have earned a place in preseason matches and the opportunity to join Spurs first team squad next season or the season after.

And even Yang's 342 mins will have given him a better idea of the gap between the South Korean League and Championship, let alone PL which he needs to bridge - so its all positive progress.

For the older players such as Solomon or Gil, hopefully it helps them move to another club in summer, and hopefully a fee to Spurs for us to reinvest into other players

Surprised Abbott not called up??

I saw a rumour he was on standby for either E u19 (but might be too old ?) or E u20's. Agree he's had an excellent loan at Notts County but guess competition is fierce to get into E youth sides squads
 
Abbott had a quiet game but towards the end he had a decent penalty shout and nearly scored in the last minute.
0-0 FT.
County are 1-2-3 their last 6 but are still within 3 points of automatic promotion.
 
Thompson and Gunter both start.
Bishops Stortford heavily promote their match programmes on X and so like to post their line ups late!
Krasniqi starts.

Gunter was again superb today, another clean sheet.

Fantastic save almost right at the death in added time after 90 mins, we then went up the other half and scored!

Stones 1 - 0 Wonking

How Tottenham’s loanees have performed this season​

George Abbott – Abbott has been a revelation in League One, establishing himself as a key player for Notts County. He’s consistently contributed with goals and assists, scoring some absolute screamers. With 10 goal involvements across all competitions, he’s having a strong season. Rating: 8/10.

Jamie Donley
Donley has also impressed in League One, starring for Leyton Orient. He’s been pivotal in Richie Wellens’ side, helping them push for promotion with six goals and five assists in the league. A solid campaign so far. Rating: 8/10

Josh Keeley
Keeley is a personal favourite. A goalkeeper with a goal and an assist? That alone is impressive. His FA Cup heroics, where he saved penalties to help his side reach the fourth round, make him arguably Spurs’ standout loanee this season. Rating: 8.5/10

Alfie Dorrington
Dorrington moved to Aberdeen in January but has barely featured. There’s no doubt about his talent, but with only two starts to his name, it’s been a quiet loan spell so far. Rating: 5/10.

Luca Gunter –
The 19-year-old goalkeeper has had a tough time at Wealdstone in the National League. He’s played 11 games, conceded 21 goals, and kept just one clean sheet. Hard to blame him entirely, though—his team sits 20th in the table. Rating: 4/10.

Will Lankshear
Lankshear’s loan at West Brom hasn’t gone to plan. He’s barely featured, struggling to get more than 60 minutes in a single match on the pitch. Spurs would have hoped for much more. Rating: 3/10.

Alfie Devine – Devine was impressing at Westerlo until an injury stalled his progress. He’s back now, working his way to full fitness. With Devine helping Westerlo to secure their place in the league and with the Belgian side eyeing a UEFA Conference League spot, he still has time to make even more impact. Rating: 6.5/10.

Luka VuskovicVuskovic has been immense. A defender who can score, play out from the back, and put in rock-solid defensive performances—he’s got crazy potential.

Vuskovic even managed a feat no other defender in the top 10 leagues has this season, becoming the highest-rated centre-back in a game without scoring or assisting. Rating: 9/10.

Ashley Phillips
– Phillips’ loan at Stoke City has been underwhelming. He’s struggled with defensive awareness and his recent performances haven’t inspired confidence as Stoke battle in the Championship. Rating: 4/10.

Alejo Véliz
– It just hasn’t clicked for Véliz at Espanyol. Twenty-three games, four goals—it’s been a frustrating spell. A fresh loan or even a permanent move could be on the cards next season. Rating: 3/10.

Bryan Gil
– Gil’s Girona loan has been a success in one key aspect—boosting his resale value. While a season-ending injury is a setback for Gil, his performances have at least strengthened his case for a move away from Spurs next season. Rating: 7/10.

Manor Solomon – Solomon has become a fan favourite at Leeds United. Seven goals, eight assists, and now talk of a permanent move. It’s been the perfect loan spell—one that could even bring Spurs some decent money if he’s sold. Rating: 8.5/10.

Yang Min-hyeok
Yang’s early performances had QPR fans excited, but regular game time has been hard to come by. A frustrating loan so far. Rating: 5/10.

Dane Scarlett (first half of the season) –
Scarlett’s time at Oxford United was disappointing. Four goals in 20 games isn’t great, and Postecoglou himself admitted he wasn’t in top shape when he returned. Spurs still have a plan for him, but that initial loan spell was poor. Rating: 3/10.

Poorly researched that. Abbott is in League Two not League One.

Gunter has been great for Wealdstone and helped them climb clear of the relegation zone, 4/10 is ridiculous.

Phillips has done well for Stoke and to rate him below Dorrington who has struggled for Aberdeen is again just wrong.

Criticising Scarlett’s goals per game is another bit of poor research as he had the highest goal per minute ratio in the Championship when he was recalled, the problem was getting regular starts despite his goalscoring exploits.
