Our players out on loan

[red g]

Kent has scored after 3 minutes

If we are loaning players out surely we should loan them for half a season at a time with an option to extend it to the end of the season. If the player isn't getting game time in the first half of the season bring them back or send them somewhere else. If they are getting game time and we are happy for them to stay there then extend it to the end of the season.

Luis Alberto temporarily coming back for medical treatment, although it's not too serious. I wonder if he'll ever play here again.

Crewe are one of the worst L1 sides in years. I know Wilson is only 18 but he can't be as good as some say if he can't get a game with that shower.

Honestly mate, no idea what's going on at Crewe. Him not getting a game is definitely not a slight on Wilson that's for sure. We need to get Wilson out of there and somewhere better/sensible.

Dysfunctional teams rarely play loan players unfortunately, managers tend to withdraw into low risk options.

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

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.

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

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.

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.

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

Didn't he see the team sheet?
