Played his first game of his loan spell for Crystal Palace today and there's an article on the smb with quotes from the palace fans on him. They all seem pretty impressed and although they lost they said he looked solid and good on the ball. I hope this experience can work for him like Hendos and colbacks did, if we are not going to use Noble even in cup games we should definitely be looking to loan him out as well (I've heard there's lots of interest from championship and SPL clubs).
Wouldn't be sending youngsters to the SPL if it were me. Rangers and Celtic would struggle massively in our league, the three below them would struggle in the championship and the rest of them... The less said about them the better. Sad state of affairs in Scotland. Really want young Ryan to go out on loan to a championship side.
There was an article in some paper a few days back about MON was considering playing him in the cup tie before deciding whether to loan him out or not, but since then Mon has said he'll be playing strongest possible eleven so I'm guessing that means there won't be a place for Noble. I genuinely feel for the lad as what more can he do to get a place? 13 goals in 8 reserve games and only gets 5 mins at the end of games. Anyway same article said Watford and Derby have made inquires for him so hopefully he'll go out and get first team action.
Just the physicality of the league which he'll struggle with. Looks sharp, confident and clinical in the reserves. Taking a bit of a kicking off championship centre backs for six months will do him the world of good, I think.
