TWTD understands Blues youngster Fin Barbrook is set to join League One Lincoln City on loan.

Barbrook, 20, enjoyed an impressive pre-season with the Town first team and made his competitive senior debut in the Carabao Cup tie against Bromley.

The Southwold-born schemer’s performance in that game attracted interest from a number of clubs at League One with the Blues deciding the Imps were the best option.

We understand the deal includes a clause which will allow his recall in January.

The midfielder spent a successful spell on loan with Sutton United in the National League last season, winning the Amber and Chocolates’ Players’ Player and Young Player of the Year awards.

Len_Brennan added 11:58 - Sep 1 Humphreys staying then, providing cover at LB. Good luck to Fin, he's going to be a decent player for us in the near future.

BlueArmy999 added 12:03 - Sep 1 Good luck Fin, outstanding attitude, did well in pre season. Go smash it in league one. Hopefully Humphreys goes to Oxford, he deserves championship football. We have cover at left beck with ash young playing that role no problem now we have furlong, Johnson and young for RB cover

Bluewhiteboy added 12:30 - Sep 1 Good to finally to see youth going on loan to league teams. John mcgreal seems to be doing a bit more for overall development

branchini1979 added 13:08 - Sep 1 I was at the Charlton pre-season game and he was the one that jumped out to me, so think it is good reward getting some first team football in league one. A good footballing brain for someone his age and am sure will do well

BeachBlue added 13:10 - Sep 1 All the best to him. This is a fantastic learning opportunity at a good football club. Barring any injuries, I'm convinced he'll do really well.

The_Prof added 15:19 - Sep 1 Genuine question with no criticism implied or involved. Arsenal played a 15 year-old yeaterday. Southampton have (had) two 17-year olds on against us. Chelsea and Villa are fielding players who are 16. Why are ITFC so loathe to give young players any game-time? The boy Tudor Mendel-Idowu looks like he could actually go past defenders, which is going to be key to unlocking defences this season, but will we ever see him? Not for a few years, I suspect?
