Usually does play well for the u23s, really though he could have used another loan this season Turns 23 in March and his contract is up at the end of the season and I doubt they will renew it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carl the Llama Posted 9 December 2019 Share Posted 9 December 2019 Always harder to judge without the 100 different camera angles but that looked a soft penalty to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sacreblueits442 Posted 9 December 2019 Share Posted 9 December 2019 .. after going 2 up we went defensive instead of pushing for the third and retaining possession. We need to get the agricultural stuff out of our game as we started to go long with no support for Hirst. We looked very good prior to the second goal and need to continue that mindset for the 90 minutes. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not too sure that Beaglehole is the man for that job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just need him to get to full fitness, then he will be as good as Caglar. When we got them both in I felt he was better than Cags, especially when recovering possession, he is quick and makes it all seem easy. Caglar now controls the barge from behind and that was going to be his downfall in order to progress. He will save us a fortune if he can stay fit.

January47 Posted 10 December 2019 Share Posted 10 December 2019 Good to hear that. If he can be the back up centre half and if the 'new' Kelechi continues, difficult to know how we improve the team/squad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The People's Hero Posted 10 December 2019 Share Posted 10 December 2019 Everyone seems quite happy so I'm going to again ask why we have so many forwards at the club and not out on loan, and hence Connor Tee has not had a look in! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Problem is, if Evans gets hurts, you'd want Morgan's experience, not Benko coming in from the U23's. If we'd just managed to nip 7th last year, all these guys would be getting a run out during Europa League dead rubbers.... But putting him out on loan just seems to create the problem of having to sign someone else who will be behind Morgan in the pecking order.

Hes not it's just the fact hes 4th choice behind Muskwe Hurst and Reghba are all in front in the pecking order right now. He was made available for loan at the start if the season but no league club came in for him presumably because of his injury record. Hes a long way from getting in the U23s 11 never mind the first team. At his age although never say never I think hes destined to have a career around the lower leagues at best.

Yet in most peoples opinion he's the best of the bunch? Id be looking at getting at least 2 of them out on loan. Im sure Hurst would attract a lot of interest seeing as he was breaking through at Wednesday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reghba seems to have regressed and I am a big fan of Hirst. Eppiah should be used as a wide forward to match the formation of the first team. He is too good to be languishing as a 4th choice striker!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wow, he's been superb for the U23's since he's overcome his injuries. I really hope he gets a loan move, his display in the cup game away at Grimsby might have made a few clubs take note. Prior to the injuries he was so highly rated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was still injured at start of the season so I can understand no one taking him. He’s looked decent so far, the most skillful of the strikers I’ve thought.

Fspen2 Posted 12 December 2019 Share Posted 12 December 2019 Problem for a lot of the u23 boys is their wages. Some earn significantly more than the average League 1 player and League 1 or 2 clubs are understandably reluctant to pay un unproven loanee more than some of their established players. Leicester dont help the situation as they usually insist on the loan club paying a very high % of the players wages, rather than paying the bulk in order to let the player get some first team experience. Certain players over the last couple of years, however, have benefited from Leicester paying 100% of their wage, which obviously makes taking the player on loan much more appealing.

I stated yes 4th choice....and he is I stayed he was offered out on loan and no league clubs cane in for him at the start if the season.Then I guessed probably because of his injury record. And that's true also. So what exactly have I said that is not true? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
