    Harrison Jones needs a loan imo, he's 21 later this year and he's hardly played any senior football

    A good loan move can really kick a player on

    Patterson and Pickford are 2 of our best examples of that

    Jenson jones shouldn't be loaned out, I'd keep him in the U21s and have him training with the 1st team at times throughout the season

    Well played lads, did really well there. Fast and furious first half, composed and disciplined second half

    Correct. I’m certain the club will see that too

    Reinildo, Rigg, Isidor, Patterson, O'Nien, Alese, Hjelde, Cirkin, Mundle

    That's 9 first teamers missing.

    Arguably that was a 2nd/3rd eleven who just held a champions league's first team in the second half.

    Good stuff and a good trip. Think seelt will be the biggest winner so far of pre season.

    Don’t think the plans we were expecting for everyone else a couple of weeks ago will change. Not due to lack of effort or performance just think those loan deals will be better for all parties for this year.

    Hopefully we have 1 or even 2 new lads in during the week.

    I think he is gone. But imo has been good tonight. Different style to Sadiki but as effective in terms of team contribution. No doubt many wont agree, but his game tonight has been good for the team.

    To be absolutely honest. I hope his exit os all done soon. He doesnt deserve a long drawn out post mortem on his performance. He is far better than that.

    I’d have agreed until I saw how RLB operates tbh, much more modern thinking.

    Jobe, Watson, Rigg all developed far quicker than expected.

    Jones is 21 and older than those three.

    I’d say he’s the next who should be given his chance even if it’s off the bench …

    … sending players off on loan can often stifle their development rather than enhance it.

    Just look at Mayenda who’s loan season did absolutely nothing for him.

    Sometimes a season at Blackburn can do nothing more than make a player a year older …

    … I’d rather Jones had a season with the top coaches we now have.
