Sending a kid over to Cheltenham is a double edged sword - yes he may get game time, he may also be bought down to that League's level rather than fighting for a place here.


He needs regular first team football to develop which he isn't going to get here. Playing in league 2 is probably far more competitive than playing in the u23's. Most youngsters are sent out to lower leagues to help them make the step up.


At 21 years old, he's hardly youth team. If he is not ready now then it looks like he never will be. Really disappointed to see our young prospects are still not ready, WTF is going on in our academy? When was the last time we had a good youngster come through the first team? It seems to me they're not doing their job properly running it, so get rid and get someone in who can spot potential and bring it on.
