One of his marauding runs from last night, probably the most impressive one.

Must be taken into account that this is a very early loan by our usual standards, he just turned 18 last month (I hope we continue to take this approach with more of our talents that are clearly above PL2 level). The fact that he's playing like this on his first 2 starts immediately at League One level is testament to how quickly he's progressed in general. It mirrors his progression into the U23s - where he had barely played U18 minutes then due to injuries in the RB position, he was thrust into the team and not only didn't look out of place but stood out. At 16.When I see stuff like this I think two things, 1. will he be able to do this at a higher level and will he have the confidence to do it. 2. Will he be allowed to show his individuality or will he be coached out of it.
He certainly looks a serious serious talent right, and talent usually does shine through.

Yeah, that's the ideal. Keep Cedric for another year and give Norton-Cuffy a full season of football somewhere else so he's a bit more battle hardy for us. I wouldn't worry too much if he immediately came in as back-up personally but I think 30-40+ Championship games is invaluable experience that we should be looking to let happen.Given that League One is quite physical he really comes across as quite a beast for an 18-year-old. This is turning out to be such a great loan.
Would be great if we could arrange a similar loan to the Championship next season and then evaluate next summer.
I'm not surprised. What will be more interesting is what happens with him in the Summer. Does he go back on loan again? To the Championship perhaps? Or does he fight his way to being the backup guy?
Should be a normal pre-season this year with more matches, interesting to see how he does there.I'm not surprised. What will be more interesting is what happens with him in the Summer. Does he go back on loan again? To the Championship perhaps? Or does he fight his way to being the backup guy?
I thought the Qatar WC was going to mess up with the scheduling causing a short preseason.Should be a normal pre-season this year with more matches, interesting to see how he does there.
