In August 2009, ''[[FourFourTwo]]'' magazine said Loach was the 'Key Player' in Watford's season and that fans should expect a good season from the young goalkeeper. Newspaper reports linked Loach to [[Tottenham Hotspur F.C.|Tottenham Hotspur]] as backup to [[Heurelho Gomes]], however as [[Carlo Cudicini]]'s alleged move to [[Portsmouth F.C.|Portsmouth]] did not go through, no deal was ever made. Loach made a good start to [[2009–10 Watford F.C. season|2009–10]] including a match winning performance against Plymouth where Watford won 1–0.<ref>{{cite news |url=http://www.watfordobserver.co.uk/sport/4630684.Loach_stars_as_Hornets_win_again/ |title=Scott Loach the hero as Watford FC win 1–0 at Plymouth Argyle |newspaper=Watford Observer |access-date=10 February 2011 |date=15 September 2009 |first=Frank |last=Smith}}</ref> Loach featured in all 46 Watford league matches that season, and on 5 March 2010 extended his contract with Watford until 2013.<ref name=soccerbase/><ref>{{Cite web |url=http://www.ontheminute.com/news/news.php?news=21564 |title=Spurs target signs new Watford deal |website=Ontheminute.com |date=5 March 2010 |access-date=5 March 2010}}</ref>

Loach retained his place in the team for [[2010–11 Watford F.C. season|2010–11]], and once again played all 46 league fixtures.
