Striker Connor Wickham has been nominated in the Championship Apprentice of the Year category at this year’s Football League Awards. Despite recently signing a new professional contract until 2013, Wickham is still a second-year academy scholar.

suffolkpoker added 08:25 - Feb 2 I couldnt agree more Calmingwind, its important our youngsters to play at a lower level. I think i could see 1 of the 2 going out on loan. I would like to see other of the other young fringe players do the same. our squad size could he holding them back

well we could have a re-call clause in the loan deals - failing that Odea is a center back really, Kennedy could go left back if hes not playing the holding role in midfield, O'conner could do LB aswell.

Going on loan is important, you can only learn so much in training and the reserves - reserve games arnt very frequent anymore anyway and generally players will learn and pick up alot more if they are playing in a competative environment week in week out- even if it is League 1 or 2.

keeping a young player on the bench or not even making the bench inhibits their ability to learn.
