If they're championship level then they deserve the chance, if only to assess their ability to step up. And if they show that then a season at a Championship club would be the perfect next step. Didn't Adam Armstrong try out in the Champo before being trusted at L1? and he's now a PL forward. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toon No9 Posted August 31, 2021 Share Posted August 31, 2021 1 hour ago, Happinesstan said: I understand this but I think they need more than cup games. They need experience of being a footballer, day in day out. In an ideal world they'd be loaned to a level just above their ability in order to challenge them and see if they've got what it takes to step up. And that's Sholas job, to see which level our young players are at. And then find a club where they would be getting games on a regular basis so they can become better and be prepared for the first team. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted January 12, 2022 Share Posted January 12, 2022 (edited) If he can get some games that's a good move. Is he ready to be a Championship starter? Edited January 12, 2022 by Optimistic Nut Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geordie Ahmed Posted January 12, 2022 Share Posted January 12, 2022 Hopefully we have some agreement in place for him to get a decent amount of minutes Looking at the table they are in between relegation and play off spots, likely to stay around there so it's not a bad club to join as that should mean he can get a run of games as there won't be significant pressure Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest HTT II Posted January 31, 2022 Share Posted January 31, 2022 Shite deal, aye if he was akin to Foden at Man City at the same age, it’s a high level, far higher than under 23 games or Check-a-trade cup games or whatever it’s called. I don’t know how highly rated this kid is or not, but I doubt he’s one of the top prospects in our game even within Championship academies. I hope he does well and gets plenty of game time, this will be invaluable for him, whether he makes it here or not. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
PatrickKluivert Posted February 1, 2022 Share Posted February 1, 2022 If he is a player you would expect him to make a real impact in League 2. Appreciate there is the odd Foden who never go on loan but they are rare. Most have successful loans of some sort. Only comment is looking at his wiki page he has sporadically appeared for Scotland youth teams with one England cap at under 19 level. I am sure he would rather play for England all being equal? This suggests that he is not seen as the among the best English players for his age by whoever is running the England youth teams. Looking back at the last wonder kid we had - Adam Armstrong, he was smashing it for England at every youth level (as did Foden). Maybe I’m reading too much into international junior football… This loan should tell us a bit more about him but it’s hard to get excited yet for me. He could be an Adam Armstrong and eventually establish himself in the PL or be another Adam Campbell and end up non league. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AJ9 Posted February 1, 2022 Share Posted February 1, 2022 I’m not sure the “if he’s good enough he would have played already” argument holds water for the past few years of NUFC. Plenty of players have left us and gone on to be good players. Toney, Armstrong, Tavernier are the ones that spring to mind. Not exactly world beaters, but still very handy players.

With regards to our current league status, were 3rd in the form table on the past six games, six points from Swindle Town in the play offs, with up to four games in hand on teams above us. Barton has turned the fanbase in his favour after being divided for so long, he has his players playing for him and there’s a real sense of momentum. It’s a bias view but I think well reach the play offs, it’s a very strong squad for scrappy league 2 football, ten players have recently returned from injury, and it feels like its all coming together, until Barton is due back in court in March… If Elliot (we’ve got two Andersons and one Anderton now in the first team) gives his all then he will have certainly enjoyed his time here, plenty of noise down here recently and he should hopefully thrive and benefit from the experience of football still watched from the terraces, proper football experience!!! Looking forward to seeing the lad put the blue and white quarters on, not much pretty about league two, but his development on the physical front is going to improve playing here I would think, seems as though JB is going to give him game time. Fingers crossed your boys keep you up this year, if not please humiliate the Bristol Sport Franchise over the other side of the river next season!

I went to Bristol Rovers vs Gateshead a few years back towards Xmas, yous won 3-2, great game and atmosphere and we had a great 4 days in one of my fave cities, the Xmas Market was class and we, well, got pissed every day and Rovers fans were superb, mind, so were City fans. Good luck for the season and I didn’t realise Barton was your manager. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
