' Latest on Declan John '

Winger turned left-back, now playing wide midfield for Barnsley on loan. Has impressed in nine appearances. Under contract with Cardiff until 2018.

I worry about John, who has never seemed to truly settle at left-back. He’s enjoying his time with Barnsley on the wing and may need to leave Cardiff to gain the first team experience he feels he needs.

Mason he is a natural winger with an eye for goal. But CCFC have truly ruined him making him a left back.

Beacause he has been played out of position and he went backwards Chief.

I wish him well Nukes, of course it would be amazing to have a star in our ranks.....if he's playing in his best position with Barnsley and still not registered a goal, you take back that comment about an eye for goal :laughing6: ;) :digging2: :bluebird:

Declan is a winger seen him as a kid and know his dad well and should be played in his position however I thought he did ok for a youngster changed position to left back and thrown straight in the premiership . I truly believe some of our supporters are very harsh on players at times

He did have an eye for goal Chief and he needs to get that back. He needs his confidence and a run of games IMO

I've always said we should give him a go on the wing, especially because we've not been gifted with wingers on both sides in a while. I'd hate to see us sell him.

needs to be loaned out for a full season in the lower league to see how he gets on. For me no where near good enough at this level at the moment

He played as a full back as a child, surprisingly on the right though.
