    I hope not. I'd rather send Jennings, Etuhu and Knight, go out on loan ahead of him bringing him back into the first team squad after he was excluded for doing absolutely nothing wrong.

    This is one of the main problems of Flitcroft building a 400 man squad, our youth players are suffering as they are being denied a chance because he's brought in an inferior army to replace them

    Flicker alluded to it in a Radio Sheff interview. He mentioned that he's 'lost some intelligence' (is that actually possible? :p )

    When was the last time we sent a young academy-bred youngster out on loan, and they came back a better player.

    I can't remember.......

    If he were to go out on loan, I think we should hold all the cards:

    1) The team he's going to has to play him for at least 60 minutes per game etc...
    2) The style of the team has to be similar to ours. No point sending him to a team who play direct football.

    Flitcroft has lost some intelligence? Maybe (if he lets him go).

    So much for protecting him by using him sparingly and fetching him along under their guidance.

    Don't see the problem. Get him out to a decent footballing team such as Chesterfield/Rotherham/Rochdale...a good run of games under his belt and back to us sharpened up. Jobs a good un.

    I feel he's lost his way a bit lately. Hope he comes back all the better.

    Digby was playing scrabble with Flicker and he could only get two and three letter words so he's sending him on loan....to Countdown

    Rochdale would be a good shout, Keith Hill knows what he's all about and seemed to rate him when he was here.

    Last time he played he was given a job and didn't do it. Not had a sniff since although may have had some injury issues.
    I think it's less of a risk sending him out on loan. Hopefully he'll do well and come back ready to slot in and play (that is if he can actually get into the squad since we'll be 10 games unbeaten by then!).

    He was given a stupid job to do which nobody would have been able to do and which was going against all of his strengths. It was like sticking perkins up front and complaining when he didn't score.

    I agree to a certain extent BUT he was trying to spray balls across the pitch and kept giving the ball away when we should have been keeping it tight. There's confidence and then there's naivety....
