Millenniumram Posted January 28, 2019 Share Posted January 28, 2019 Called this in that predictions thread? Right move without a doubt, he’s on the first team periphery but not quite there yet, a bit of men’s football will do him the world of good progressing.

There has to be a breaking point. Keep sending them away and the team will undoubtedly suffer. However on the plus side, I see it as building for the future Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t think it’s a bad thing, it’s just such a strange correlation. Credit to the academy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RadioactiveWaste Posted January 29, 2019 Share Posted January 29, 2019 I think the policy of loaning out the promising u23s to get some senior football is the right one, in the long run it'll help them and the academy. It'd be nice if they won some youth competition prizes, but the name of the game is to produce professional footballer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rample Posted January 30, 2019 Share Posted January 30, 2019 McDonald reminds me of Bogle from what bit I've seen. Decent going forward but not so good at defending. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd say the opposite. Take his ability from set plays out of the equation and it's the defensive side of his game which is best. He used to be very rash in the tackle, but it's something which he has worked on a lot over the last year. At the start of the season I was worried he'd become another Hanson type utility player with us. Fortunately, it seems either he or the club has decided he'll be a left back. He needs a good couple of loan spells out now and come back fighting with Lowe for a spot in the first team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nice to hear, as I said it was from the little I'd seen him in previous years, where he looked a liability defensively, lacked discipline and left a lot of space. Last time or 2 I've seen him he was at centre half. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
