Ballard to the Championship?

We only got him because we've got Critchley as manager and he plays the way Arsenal want to play.

"Over the past 18 months in particular, Arsenal have taken extra care in deciding the destination of their loan players. Eddie Nketiah’s loan to Leeds United in 2019 followed the first of the club’s ‘Dragons’ Den-style’ processes, which has continued with three-club shortlists commonly found for loanees to choose from.

With Critchley having played a part in the rise of Trent Alexander-Arnold as well as Curtis Jones and Neco Williams more recently, Blackpool got the nod."


Makes you wonder how many other players signed down to the current manager.
 
I really hope it will be with us as well. I think he had another commanding game last night and was yet again one of our best players on the park. As Wilts pointed out above, it is one of biggest bonuses of having Critchley as manager. He has the reputation and experience of developing young up and coming talent. This gives us a huge advantage over our immediate rivals and, as we know only too well (think DJ and Seamus Coleman), it can give us that extra boost required to secure a successful ppromotion season....🤞
 
Doesn’t worry me too much. I’ve confidence that we are starting to recruit well and will be able to keep doing so.

Not every one will be a success, but Prem clubs will trust us with their loans and we will continue to pick up bargains from Div 1&2 to be coached into good players within our systems
 
Jeez, I know the media have to write something but let the kid develop first before bigging him up. He's only made 12 league appearances in League One in his whole career, been sent off and messed up for some goals. He's still right at the start of his learning period.
 
If he's enjoyed his time with us and can see his development as well as the clubs then he might stay? Although the omens after KDH's departure aren't good!
 
I'd be interested to know what sort of progression KDH has had at Luton this year. Not got a clue about their style of football this season but have read a few reports on here saying that he is wasted there. Let's face it he'll probably not get in Leicester's side now and so IF we did get promoted .. I wonder .....
