Official Site : Loan Move for Reuben Noble-Lazarus

I'd play 3-5-2 and play him at wing back. It works.
I'd even play him LB instead of Kennedy. All TK does is launch it, take corners (badly) and move a yard forward before passing backwards. Reuben can do all that and more. Dunt matter about defending. Hence Kennedy.

 

Good move for Reuben,players like to play.This gives him chance for some much need game time.I would also try and get Jennings out next for the above reasons.Derby signed one of the most sought after players this summer in Michael Jacobs,he hasn't played a game for them yet so he's been sent out on loan.Makes sense to me.

 

Three more posts Hemsy lets see you crack the 10k. If another manager disagreed with the opinion of Flicker about Jake Scott he'd still be in the football league. As for Jordan Clark he joined Scunny when they were struggling (unlike now) and couldn't even get a few minutes off the bench. Now onto our academy do you not think the vast sums it costs to run would be better spent in the first team budget to try and get us up the league, rather than carry on as we are where Stones is the only person from it we've ever sold on for decent money?

 

In terms of O'Brien yes can you call yourself an offensive player if you very rarely score or create goals. O'Brien is on the whole an ok sub when you want to tighten up. Tompole always plays better as a sub though maybe deserves a run in the team to try and shake this idea off.

 

A few things:

1. 352 didn't work earlier on in the season. I'd be keen to try it again but how can we when we've got no central defenders left? That he's gonna play, like
2. You've got a problem with Kennedy, I get it mate. But he's had a decent few games and is part of a defence that's done very little wrong in nearly a month. 442 isn't exactly thrilling viewing but it's better than it was getting battered every game.

I think his statements to the press have set him up to fail with RNL. Probably tried to show him some confidence but then changed his mind. To be fair, he's allowed to.

I hope he comes back in January and shows that he's a good player because a left sided player is always going to be handy. If he fails at S****horpe I think he might be gone come the Summer.

 

Didn't robins want him on loan when he was manager of Coventry...

That has to say something

league one and a former manager and all that

 

Good luck lad, hope you get a few games and come back a different player. Obviously not currently upto our standard and having to go to Scunny says a lot but i hope he becomes a first teamer when back.

 

the manager here is a total pratt,he doesn`t know his arse from his elbow and like what was said before hopefully by the time the lad comes back we will have a new manager in place and maybe this time it will be someone with half a brain

 

Whitey we cant play 3-5-2 because we have neither a RWB or LWB at the back at the club. People go on about Flicker playing players out of position then demand he plays a 3-5-2. The squad of players we have always us to play either 4-4-2 or 4-5-1. 3-5-2 cannot be played successfully with this squad of players.

 

I understand the reason for RNL going out on loan, from both sides (the Club and RNL).

What I can't understand is:-

(1) Flicker did openly state earlier in the season that RNL was now ready for a 30 game season (with BFC or some other club?)
(2) Where is our cover/pressure for the left back position, which is probably the weakest position we currently have, despite TK improving this last few games?
(3) What message does this send out to senior Academy players ie. Digby, Clark, etc.

 

good luck to lad , i think he should be in our team at left back or at least a place on bench , hope he comes back and gets in team . still one of our most technical player .

 

Kennedy has done well in the last couple of games. On that basis, I wouldn't leave him out for RNL on current form.

 

Massive contradiction from Flitcroft. He's straying deep into berk territory with this one.

Don't think we'll see RNL in a Tarn shirt again.

 

I can't find the 30 - 40 games interview to hear it in full context but whenever I've heard Flicker speak about RNL it has always been qualified praise.

Ultimately Flitcroft clearly doesn't think RNL is ready to play consistently at this level. Yet. And the fact that he has gone to Scunny suggests other clubs higher up are probably of the same view. I would love to see RNL make it for us but he is still a developing player and has a lot to learn. There aren't many lads of his age holding down a regular place in the Championship. Butterfield was older when he final broke through and was old enough, mature enough, and physically ready to do so.

 

Oh well, we can always persevere with Kennedy and shoe-horning central or even right sided players into the left wing slot. It's not like RNL looked like a good player when he had his limited chances or owt is it.
I'm glad that Flitcroft has always said how poor he was otherwise he'd be looking like a right stupid **** round about now wouldn't he.

 

Reading Hemsy and Dreamboy having a disagreement just cheered me right up.

As for RNL, he obviously doesn't feature in Flickers plans. Even if we were to play with genuine wingers, Cywka and JOB are ahead in the pecking order. I think the best thing is for him to go out on loan, but only if he is going to play. The development squad just doesn't cut it for the senior squad players.

 

If he plays like he did in that bairns cup game then he won't get a game at all.

Needs to check his attitude judging by the way he carried on at times.

 

He's hardly getting encouragement from the management is he ?

How to dismantle a player in 2 months.

 

3-5-2 failed? When? I only recall us playing it against Huddersfield. We won. Reuben played well.

I have one problem with Kennedy, I don't think he's much cop. Nowt against him at all as a person, or whether he's Flicker's mate etc. I just think we could have found a better left back. He was unattached for so long, for a reason.
Reuben isn't a left back, but he's a better one than Kennedy. Or, he can do what Kennedy does, but better. Just my opinion, though. He'll get my backing at Oakwell/Turf Moor/wherever. But on here, if he's ****, I'm saying so. I'm a lovely person like that. Just as I'd say Reuben was if he was. For example, I love O'Grady. But he was dogshit against Wednesday. He played left wing like, but still.

Reuben had options, btw. Locality of any loan move was always a key factor. I wish him all the best, hope he comes back and forces his way back in. But while ever Flicker is manager I'd say that's as likely as Hassell starting ahead of Wiseman.
