Alan Judge has admitted that he will seek a loan move away from Brentford this month if he's not involved in Saturday's Championship game against Norwich City.

The former Notts County winger had been out of action for nearly two years with a compound leg fracture but made his first-team comeback in the FA Cup third-round defeat against his former club.

However, Judge did not feature in the Bees squad for the subsequent two games against Bolton and Reading, and speaking to the Sunday Times, he expressed his frustrations at being overlooked.

β€œThis is probably the hardest part,” Judge said in an interview reprinted by Get West London. β€œIt’s massively frustrating. You are just there waiting, but the team is doing well, I totally understand that.

β€œI feel I am good enough to be involved, and I think I have shown that. I need minutes and the only way I can get them is by the manager putting me on the pitch. You don’t want to be told to be patient anymore.

β€œI’m not one to make a fuss, but if by the end of January I am not playing I will need to go on loan. Hopefully people will remember what I did two years ago and think β€˜he’s worth taking a punt on’.”

Good luck to him, as it makes perfect sense that he needs game time.

If Brentford don't think he's ready to return to Championship action, they really should allow him to go out on loan somewhere that will firstly look after, secondly help him re-find his form/confidence.
