    Noticed that two of our more promising youngsters now seem to be getting some valuable game time with you - what's your verdict on them?

    Bolger has been playing regular for about 2 seasons now, whereas Parkes is new to the side but both are impressive players, ones that hopefully we can borrow off you for another season <ok>

    Bolger has his moments, but on the whole is a very good young defender. I have no doubt he will be at least championship standard within the next couple of seasons. Parkes I have not seen a massive amount of but so far he has been impressive <ok>

    Hi Fosse,I really like both of them.

    Suggest at this level and potentially L1 they would offer a very good balance in defence for any team.Parkes is the first CD that Bolger looks comfortable with and he is very solid and plays a simple game not to fancy(willing to put his foot in),slightly behind Bolger,which allows Bolger the freedom to roam forward a little similar to Ferdinand at UTD,lots of communication between them and will be a very good partnership for the future in higher div's umless they go there seperate ways.

    I am sure that Mcghee would like to retain them for the future,hopefully Leicester will be willing to offload them to a lower league team such as Rovers with an option to take more money if sold on.At the very least confirm a season long loan 2012/13.

    Def not ready for the Championship as they are still learning,it is good that they have two experienced pros in Woodards and Paterson alongside them.

    Great to see them get stuck in and enjoying playing regular matches.

    Good luck with your push to get in the playoffs,its going to be nip and tuck a win vs Forest tonight puts you close to the mix.

    Like c-o-r says. Both still a bit raw, but good prospects. Bolger tends to stand out because of his
    beach-blond hair! Parkes is very consistent and they make a good left foot/right foot partnership.
    A season together next season will really bring them on...so can we have them back please?

    Thanks to all respondees - i'm certainly in favour of them staying with you and getting regular first team football - so good luck to you and them.
