Loaning out the Youngsters

I watched Watford stuff Shef Wed last night playing some good football. Their best players were both on loan from Premier League clubs: Tom Cleverley (Utd) was quality on the right of midfield, I think he's got 6 goals in 11 games. Henri Lansbury (Arsenal) plays in central midfield and was a typical Arsenal player, clever movement with intricate passing.

It would be interesting to see how some of our younger lads faired in the Championship. I feel it would be better for their development than the sub-standard reserve games they play in, and would give us a chance to gauge if they could make the grade at Goodison or not.

I know we have injuries at the moment and the younger lads are needed but maybe after Xmas? The likes of Agard, Wallace, Baxter and Duffy. Even Gosling, who I think will never be good enough for our first team at RB or in midfield. These lads are on the fringes and the others out on loan already like Ruddy, Lukas will probably never hold a place in our first team.

Vaughan was unlucky through injury (again) to have missed that opportunity. However, I wouldn't loan Anichebe as people will find out how poor he is and we won't be able to flog him.

I thought that Lukas & Ruddy are doing very well at Motherwell.. Lukas scored 2 goals against St. MIrren.. I noted that Ruddy being MOTM for few times... any chance of him being No 2 to Howard?
