G-Man11 Posted March 9, 2012 Share Posted March 9, 2012 Might be interested in this Barker Sky Sports understands Burnley are lining up a loan swoop for Coventry City's highly-rated midfielder Gael Bigirimana.The 18-year-old enjoyed an impressive first half of the season after making his Coventry debut on the opening day of the campaign against Leicester City.He was subsequently awarded a one-year contract extension to tie him to the Ricoh Arena until 2014, however, he has not featured since early January. Bigirimana has made 21 appearances in all competitions for the struggling Sky Blues this term and could now be offered the chance to gain further experience at Burnley. Short-listed for the Championship apprentice of the season award, Bigirimana was sent off when Coventry lost 2-1 at home to Burnley back in October. http://www1.skysports.com/football/news/11095/7580213/? Bigi . Don't like the sound of that one bit, would presumably be with view to a permanent move. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

G-Man11 Posted March 9, 2012 Share Posted March 9, 2012 Loss of form/change in formation/more depth in midfield. Originally we played a diamond formation which required 4 players who could play in central midfield but now we play a bog standard 4-4-2 and only need 2 central midfielders and with the return to fitness of Deegan, the loan signing of Norwood and Conor Thomas overtaking Bigi in the pecking order he's like 5th choice CM now. He also very much was struggling for form in his last few games and he's recently gone back to play for the U18's but he's been on the bench a fair few times in the last couple of months. The lad is very talented but the fact is he only turned 18 in November and he is still very raw. He was also unlikely to maintain his form throughout the season and was bound to have a drop off in performances, it happened to Nathan Cameron last season and Jordan Clarke the season before. They both dropped out of the first team for a few months and came back the following season fresh, sharp and ready to go. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
G-Man11 Posted March 9, 2012 Share Posted March 9, 2012 In fact one of his best games of the season so far was the one where he got sent off against you lot. Was pretty much running the game that day. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
robterrace Posted March 9, 2012 Share Posted March 9, 2012 Jamaal Lascelles and Karl Darlow look like they're going out on loan, to Stevenage and Newport County respectively. Should do young Jamaal well to have a stint out on loan. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

"The lad is very talented but the fact is he only turned 18 in November and he is still very raw." Sounds good. What did you think of him in the games you've seen him play before his loss of form, did he look abit special? What sort of a midfielder is he? I still think we need a good technical/ creative midfielder (perhaps with more expierence imo.) who can hold onto the ball and create chances.. allowing McCann to do what he does best, and get forward more from box to box.

Matthew Le God Posted March 9, 2012 Share Posted March 9, 2012 why are they being allowed to break the embargo? I'm sure you've already told us. Because the Football League say if their squad goes below 14 fit senior players they can loan in players. So what they are doing is refusing to use the youth team in order to prevent them being classified as senior players and instead they are loaning in senior internationals like they did today to help in their relegation fight. They are also able to add loan players to keep the total number of senior players to 20 on a one in, one out policy. Pompey are just playing with the loopholes of an incompetent Football League rulebook. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

DJB_1990 Posted March 11, 2012 Share Posted March 11, 2012 West Ham away was quality. The team were awesome and I don't think I've enjoyed a match that much for a long while. After riding a tough first 15 minutes we grew into the game and ended up creating enough chances to possibly win it with us pretty much controlling the second half. I'm surprised at West Ham though, thought they'd have thrown more at us than they did, especially towards the end. I think the home fans had had enough by then as many of them started to leave after about 80 minutes. The team seems to have improved massively in the last two games and I really hope that they build on this. If they continue to play like that then we have a good chance of putting a run together and getting out of the bottom three. Don't want to curse us like. We have our ultimate bogey team Reading on Tuesday who also happen to be in hot form. That could prove to be a very tough game, but I thought we'd get stuffed yesterday so...

I think the home fans had had enough by then as many of them started to leave after about 80 minutes. Probably been the best team at Upton Park this season, but I'm sure some of that was because thats probably our worst home performance of the season too. Diouf was very good, just seems to be all over the pitch. We were great until Vaz Te went off, pretty incredible how important to our team he is already. We just have no one else who has any creativity or flair, we were crying out for a Morrison debut yesterday but Sam instead took off Nolan for the first time, which did surprise me. Havent seen the post match interviews but Allardyce is no doubt coating off the fans again. Thats the problem when you play **** football though, people dont mind as long as we're winning. But once youre playing **** football and not winning, theres absolutely nothing to be happy about. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
