We have signed a young lad from Cardiff on an initial months loan to cover at Left back.

Means no Alan Sheehan back then ????

alan sheehan always seemed a doubt, i bet a good league one or two team will be interested in him.

no idea about this player but i hope he does well.

He looks very nervous, I hope some of the experienced players help to make him feel welcome. I am sure it won't effect his ability, as once he gets on the pitch he should be excited but we need a strong player to cover.

A month seems rather short though.

I surpise it could always be extended, do we not already have cover. See how he plays though.

He sounds and looks decent enough, I don’t know a lot about him but some Cardiff fans I know via FM have said they doubt he’ll break into their first team.

This could be his chance to do well, gain experience and push on with his career.

I will have to see how he does, but its a bit of depth added. I hope he's fast and eager to impress.

Pleased to see that cover has been added, is Bakayogo injured then or just out of favour?

I know Damien McCrory is out for a few weeks.

Bakayogo is injured and out for about 6-8 weeks so Bagan is a much needed signing really. 

I’d imagine he could even feature on Saturday. Kelly-Evans is great, but it’s so much easier for someone naturally left-footed to play there.

At 18 it'll be his first real experience of men's football, but hopefully it's a case of if your good enough your old enough!

If it's a month's loan it'll simply be for cover in the left back position while McCrory is out. I was wondering whether Brindley or Kelly-Evans could fill in there if need be, but evidently not. Obviously I hope the lad does well if called on.

@menzinho the club put on Facebook yesterday that McCrory is expected to be out for 2-4 weeks (although I'm not sure if they means his absence from the first team or from training).

I would hope DKE can start tomorrow, but its good we have backup. Hope the new loan signing does okay during his spell here.

He seems different from the options Notts have leaned towards, I hope he's mindful to cover but can excite going forward.

I hope he's decent 

Hard to say much, I’m struggling to see how he would get into the team.

See how he plays for his time here.

It's nothing to be excited about, he's just cover and I don't see him getting much chance to play.

I wasn't impressed with DKE yesterday, yes he's out of position but I think this loan signing needs to be given a chance to next in the next league game.

I just hope he's not just eye candy or a stocking filler, we need players who can feature and do well.

I know DKE did well covering but I did think it was poor to leave out some natural to the left side regardless if he's seen as just cover. He will stronger there due to it being his position.

I hope we see him play, as it would be pointless to make the loan even if it is for a month.

Hopefully, I agree.

It's interesting to see Ardley start long, but leave out this lad despite DKE only covering.

@BromPie I wonder how Pierce Bird feels about this, I suppose the new left back on loan shown less desire than DKE.

When will we see him? DKE has given okay cover but it's bar far his best position. I'd rather see a natural left-back start.

I keep seeing his name on the bench and wondering who the hell he is. ????

It seems a little bizarre to take a lad on loan for only cover, the parent club must see it makes the loan worthless? Sending him somewhere he's likely to start especially if he's considered to have a bright future is the only thing that makes sense.

This doesn't to me.
