Tue Jan 05, 2021 8:57 am

Tom Sang has been recalled by Neil Harris after his loan spell at Cheltenham Town. Struggled, really, to break into a Cheltenham team, Sang will go straight in to Cardiff City’s squad.

Sang was on loan for 4 months with Cheltenham but only made 3 starts in the League.




Cheltenham News:

Tom Sang has returned to Cardiff City after spending the first half of the season on loan at Cheltenham Town.

The 21-year-old former Bolton Wanderers and Manchester United prospect made three League Two starts for the Robins.






Cheltenham Town boss Michael Duff

"I think its been a good loan," Duff added.

"It's been a difficult one for him in terms of he's been a little bit in and out, but I think it'll be interesting what Cardiff think because I think he will go back into their first team group now.

I don't think that he can play Saturday already appeared for Cheltenham in the cup

A bit controversial this, but i dont think we have any young players up to league 2 standard. That includes Mark Harris who couldn't break into a Newport County team

The player wanted to stay at Cheltenham and was well thought of.

Sign of us struggling for bodies on Saturday and maybe he will play RB, who knows.

Harris desperate to trying and change the rot!

Annis,

I know that but he made 14 appearances in that time!

How many will he make in the same amount of time with us?

Harris threw his teddy out of the pram and demanded he return. Wouldn’t surprise me he comes in as RB :ayatollah:

If we are short of CB why not bring Brown back and give him a chance?

Karl, most of those games were the kids playing in the Mickey Mouse games.

I am not impressed, Sorry.

Annis,

Why you sorry?

Your opinion and I appreciate it.

Harris at the moment is like a rabbit caught in headlights.

Be some more bizarre things happening I’m sure before January out.

Forgot to say, Happy New Year to you and the family :ayatollah:

Cheers Karl,

I kept reading the reports on Sang and he was not getting starts for their league games, which was the main reason why he went there.

if you struggle to play regular first team for Cheltenham , I would be stunned if he makes a big impact here, sounds desperation in my opinion to have him back.


Karl, Happy New Year to you and your family my friend :thumbright: :thumbright: :thumbright:

On the face of it if he struggled to get into Cheltenhams league two side there is no way he would get into our team. That said there is a thread on him on a Cheltenham fans forum and they are saying when he did play for them he did well and they would have liked to have kept him though more as a squad player to cover for injuries.

Depressing that two of our best youth team players are not good enough for Cheltenham and Wrexham. Suppose we can't expect any decent players from the youth set up in the foreseeable future,Bagan excepted.

His lack of starts will give no indication of the ability of the player at all.

Mark Harris got very little game time (let alone starts) for either Newport or Wrexham, but does not look out of place at all at this level.

Right shapes in the right holes.

indeed, Dan James failed to get a spot on the bench for Shrewsbury, a year later he is worth ££££££££££££

Neil Harris said Cardiff would only recall Tom Sang if they thought he had a part to play this season. Well, he's back with the Bluebirds now.

He has started more game than Benkovic.....Does that mean Benkovic is useless and not up to average championship level :? :?

He could well be loaned out again if things happen over the window, it may be a bit of insurance.

He looks very very average and definitely not good enough for a promotion chasing side . He's a league 1 striker at best

He's started more games because Benkovic is unfortunately playing for NH
