Very happy with this! was hoping we would take this route rather than shove players out of position. Lads had 2 good loans and deserves his shot

Hes always impressed when ive seen him for the u21s, was one of our better players when played at Right back earlier this season in the cup as well

Went on loan to Coventry last January, and by the May (4 months later) he'd won their Player of the Year award as voted by their fans. That says it all.

He's a very good prospect.

Young player of the year.

Why are we all expecting the logical outcome here?

It's obvious we'll play someone out of position and he'll be subbed in in the 88th minute when we're 7:3 down.

With all 3 of our shots on the night.

And United to score only 7 from their 85 shots.

A real freak night.

I'll be honest, I haven't seen a lot of him.. but on the other hand, I thought he was impressive filling in at right back against Barnsley in League Cup earlier this season and he was also apparently bit of a standout player during his loan spell at Coventry last season. I believe he won young player of the year too. I do think he's a promising player and would really like to see more of him in future. I would also think he should be given a chance at Wembley, considering our limited choices at centre half.. but who knows..

what do we have to lose hey?

Pretty much. I also think he's one of the more "expierenced" youth players we have. I wouldn't mind seeing the likes of Dowell or Jones thrown in either. Maybe blood Ty Duffus with him on the bench, in place of Niasse but I doubt that. As you say though, what have we got to lose?
