Our players out on loan

[red g]

Ryan Kent came on after 45 minutes and was intrumental in turning a 2-0 deficit to a win for Coventry.

Heard a coventry fan on Talksport/909 bigging him up as well.

Me too - he sounded well impressed.

Kent is a cracking little player - in about six months he went from being the "other" exciting wide attacker behind Ojo, Wilson and Canos to probably the best of the lot.

I'll put the loan watch up later or tomorrow. See If can find some clips and quotes

Kent.

redmike, Kent and Wilson are two steps ahead of the 'rest'. Canos and Ojo don't belong in the same sentence as decent as they may be. This has always been the case throughout their academy education.

Ojo came off the bench to make sure Wolves won 0-2.

yep 3 goals 15 apps inc Sub .....Klopp went to watch him play last week but Ojo didn't get any game time

[redmike65]

Didn't he see the team sheet?

no idea maybe he was told Ojo would get some game time

So Kent and Wilson are both wingers and close to making the step up? Exciting times!

[BigChief]

Kent and Wilson are not quite ready to make the step up but certainly exciting wingers in the way Sterling and Ibe were 2/3 years ago.

Reading Coventry forums most complain Kent has no end product (crossing or shooting) but is exciting/dangerous when using his pace with and without the ball. Some have started to note that Kent draws two or even three defenders towards him which frees up other players who take the glory. Very similar to Derby fans complaining about Ibe's lack of end product while forgetting he's the reason others' end products improve exponentially. When Ibe left in January Derby's other players suddenly didn't look so good and Derby's high league position fell away.

Wilson for Crewe hardly ever seems to play. Yet I personally think Wilson is better than Kent, or at least was when both played for our reserves. Hope his confidence is not affected. Both players need at least another 18 months before they're properly ready.

LOAN WATCH

Sheyi Ojo (Wolves) - came on at 76 mins and scored in 0-2 win
Lloyd Jones (Blackpool) - injured
Vigouroux, Williams, Stewart (Swindon Town) - Vig full game, Williams not in squad, Stewart not in squad (both injured I think)
Harry Wilson (Crewe) - unused sub
Danny Ward, Ryan McLaughlin (Aberdeen) - Ward full game in 3-1 defeat McLaughlin unused sub
Wisdom (Norwich) - injured
Markovic (Fenerbache) - played 29 mins in 0-1 win got injured.
Samed Yesil (Lucerne) Played last 17 mins in 0-1 defeat
Ryan Kent (Coventry) played second half in 3-2 win (were 0-2 at HT)
Taiwo (FSV Frankfurt) - unused sub
Sergi Canos (Brentford) - unused sub
Balotelli (Milan) No game injured
Ilori (Villa) not in squad
Alberto (Deportivo) came on at 69 mins in 1-1 draw

Quite a few players out with knocks at the moment. Ilori is the interesting loanee right now, is he ready to play? Remi Garde is the new manager and as such will remember him from Bordeaux having been Lyon manager. Hopefully that will be enough to at least get him on the first team radar. if not then he really has to be rescued if at all possible. Which I'm not sure it is - PL loans are full season and I doubt that not having played a moment of football will change that.

Sending out loads of lads on loan to be an unused sub every week FTW!

[Gibbo]

****s going on with Markovic and all these injuries

[redmike65]

The general view about Ojo is that he is best used as an impact player, ditto Canos and Kent. They of course all share the same strengths to a degree - ability to carry a ball at speed and draw in defenders, win fouls/free kicks in dangerous areas. If the three stay at their clubs for the whole season then hopefully they'll gradually get more minutes. Harry Wilson is the more concerning one at this stage, I'd prefer to see him brought back for a while and get a better club in January.
