Long Eaton Fox Posted 22 December 2014 Posted 22 December 2014 When we lose our wingers to the ACON, can Tom Lawrence step up to rescue us from our points desert. Getting rave reviews at Rotherham
ousefox Posted 22 December 2014 Posted 22 December 2014 Who knows? Knockaert would get rave reviews at Rotherham and has hardly had a chance in the Prem
filbertway Posted 22 December 2014 Posted 22 December 2014 Excited to see this fella playing for us, hope he gets his chance.
kingfox Posted 22 December 2014 Posted 22 December 2014 Might as well give him one or two goes. If not, then leave him till next season when we will be in the Championship.
Stevosevic Posted 22 December 2014 Posted 22 December 2014 He's not that young so i'm not sure how long you can continue to label someone as 'one for the future.' He'll be 21 in January.
Dan Posted 22 December 2014 Posted 22 December 2014 Been thinking this for a lot of today. I want him in the team soon. You don't get absolutely raved about for nothing. He could make quite a difference to us if he can carry his form from Rotherham into the Premier League. Looks a breath of fresh air.
Ric Flair Posted 22 December 2014 Posted 22 December 2014 I'm not quite sure why he's been loaned out and not given a chance already. We're on our knees, desperate for a few pieces of magic to nick some points and yet we've farmed him out. If he comes back in Jan and makes an impact then we'll all be wondering what a waste of a few months it's been when we've not been able to use him. Strange decision from a manager whose lost his pickle.
J.Lisemore Posted 22 December 2014 Posted 22 December 2014 Hopefully for the sake of Jeff Schlupp, this guy is recalled and starting on the left wing for us.
Steve_Guppy_Left_Foot Posted 22 December 2014 Posted 22 December 2014 Player makes partial impact at Rotherham, that's ROTHERHAM, now he must be the premier league savior? Same as all the other talk of any player that isn't starting or has been sold must be better than what we've got, it isn't.
Guest ttfn Posted 22 December 2014 Posted 22 December 2014 You don't get absolutely raved about for nothing. come on Dan you've been a fan for long enough to know that's not the case.
Dan Posted 22 December 2014 Posted 22 December 2014 come on Dan you've been a fan for long enough to know that's not the case. Search his name on Twitter. See what Steve Evans is saying about him after every single game. Watch him play. This lad quite clearly has a fair bit of ability. Like I say, I'm not claiming he's the saviour, but can he be any worse than this?
Tuna Posted 22 December 2014 Posted 22 December 2014 Who knows? Knockaert would get rave reviews at Rotherham and has hardly had a chance in the Prem Yes I think this is the point, very different playing for us in the prem than playing for Rotherham in the championship.

This lad quite clearly has a fair bit of ability. Like I say, I'm not claiming he's the saviour, but can he be any worse than this? No, he's unlikely to be worse, but Steve Evans is a convicted fraudster so I'll take what he says with a pinch of salt.
Dan Posted 22 December 2014 Posted 22 December 2014 No, he's unlikely to be worse, but Steve Evans is a convicted fraudster so I'll take what he says with a pinch of salt. I don't really see what Steve Evans has to gain from talking him up this much. If anything he's weakening his chances of getting his loan extended - and maybe he knows already that he won't be due to us wanting him. I've got a feeling we'll see him in and around the team soon. I absolutely support that decision if it's made. Gambles need to be taken.

I absolutely support that decision if it's made. Gambles need to be taken. Well given that our two (for some reason) first choice wingers are leaving in 10 days' time I'd go so far as to say that I'd be astonished if he's not in the 18 for the Aston Villa match. But I won't be holding my breath that a lad of 21 with a limited amount of professional football, let alone Premier League, experience is going to transform our side.
Tuna Posted 22 December 2014 Posted 22 December 2014 No, he's unlikely to be worse, but Steve Evans is a convicted fraudster so I'll take what he says with a pinch of salt. Yes McFraud is very popular down the A52 at Boston, certainly not one for exaggerating.

If he comes back in Jan and makes an impact then we'll all be wondering what a waste of a few months it's been when we've not been able to use him. Strange decision from a manager whose lost his pickle.I'm convinced we've loaned him to get him game time before Riyad and Jeff go.

I won't either but it's quite clear we're more than one player off.
Guest MattP Posted 22 December 2014 Posted 22 December 2014 He's making a real impact at Rotherham, he's an exciting talent.
Harry - LCFC Posted 22 December 2014 Posted 22 December 2014 Even if he isn't ready this season we can be pretty confident we've got an excellent player on our hands here. Great buy.
Buzzell Posted 22 December 2014 Posted 22 December 2014 I don't see why we can't give the guy some game time once Mahrez and Schlupp jet off to the ACON. Two wingers down in January, if we don't look to bring anyone in I'd expect him to push for the first team.
DennisNedry Posted 22 December 2014 Posted 22 December 2014 Rotherham manager Steve Evans on Lawrence: "I said last week that Tom [Lawrence] is like a lighthouse in a dark ocean, and when he scores a goal and works as hard as that, you know he's a lighthouse in a dark ocean with a nice bottle of red wine waiting for you when you get there. "He's a special talent and you need to get him on the ball. For every week we've got him we're grateful."

Two wingers down in January, if we don't look to bring anyone in I'd expect him to push for the first team. just adding to this, I suppose it would be a four horse race for these 2 spots....lawrence (if he returned), if not, then Knocky, Albrighton, or King and Powell ( not as a wingers), unless NP has his eyes on someone from outside. Something else but speculative, RDL has the wingback.
