Don’t know why we bother sending players to Scotland… not one of them has been a good loan for us.
All it does is gets them off the wage bill, doesn’t advance their careers.
I’d rather we send them to League 2 and they play and see if they might turn out to be worth keeping on.
We even sent players like Callum Wilson & Nathan Cameron to teams like Nuneaton, Tamworth, Kettering etc and it helped build their career… this Scottish stuff is a waste of time
Doubt it does get them off the wage bill - as youngsters we're looking to develop we're probably paying most if not all of their wages. Though as youngsters it's probably not a huge amount of the overall wage budget.
Nice to see! Seems like there a few handy players for lower leagues, Shipley and Bayliss benefitted hugely from us being down there at the time. Obikwu has great attributes and is very young to be doing well in a pretty brutal league
Saw him in pre-season at Stevenage, and thought he looked good. Real unit too, 6'3 at least, and pacey. I watched the opening minutes of Grimsby game on Saturday, and he did a great bit of skill hooking an aerial ball down, and running at defenders. He went on to score later that half.
