Joining on loan for rest of season from Man Utd according to some account on X
-
Any good?
-
Is this a rumour?
-
His style of play from wikipidea
Ennis has been described as having "brilliant quality on the ball", "an eye for a creative pass", and "brilliant instincts in front of goal".[11] He has also been called, 'two-footed, commanding in the air, and jet-heeled'.
Hope he is all that
-
Is this a rumour?
No it’s come from a Manchester evening news reporter
-
He scored against us in the cup game with Man Utd kids
-

No it’s come from a Manchester evening news reporter
Yes, NC. I read the report myself. It looks like a done deal.
This kid seems good.

I put this in the Rumour Mill as the deal not done yet!

I hope he's two-footed as well, otherwise he'll be going round in ever-decreasing circles.

Ricky Charlesworth has re-tweeted something, so looks like a deal is close.

Says in that report that he likes to play on the left wing, Gibson obviously not in McCanns good books!
-
Welcome addition. Now, where’s that midfielder? ;)

Provides competition for places, Yeboah wasn't quite up to it so a straight swap for him I'd say

Doesn’t Street also prefer the left Wing

Street said in his interview that he’d never played on the wing before didn’t he?
Gibson is better in the right but was signed to play on the left? Odd.
-
The obsession with playing these lads on the wrong side is truly baffling. Gibson spent 5 mins on the right just after half time last match and he came alive. Crosses in for Billy’s header that got tipped over bar.
-
Confirmed, happy with this. Was the standout when we played their u21 side. Arguably should be at a higher level. But as ever, first loan etc.
-
Signed anyway
-
Dead right Cramby, it should be looked at how many goals each score by cutting in vs the chances they have to cross to our strikers. At least swap them around a bit to keep defenders thinking.
I think Molly has mostly played on the right in his career.

Is this the statement signing that GM talks highly about?
I would have thought we need experience to get us into L1
-
I wonder if Tommy Rowe had any input in this move.
-
This lad is better than Adelukan
-

Should imagine agent Rowe will be providing good feedback on Man u youngsters on a regular basis.

Not criticising - but that's an opinion pulled from where....?

A very good friend, that watches Man Utd kids regularly, reckons he could be as good as Ahmad Diallo, his opinion is good enough for me

OK - so just another friends view then..

Had a feeling it might be one of the Man Utd kids,I posted in the Rumour mill
"I really hope we sign him,think he is exactly what we need,But I don't think the player who we have deal agreed with and the player involved in the second offer sent is Matty,because GM talks about showing their parent clubs what we are all about,our style playing,how we do things and selling us to the player,players representative,parent club staff etc which means it must be someone we have not had before,think it makes it more likely to be someone like a player from MUFC youth,the player probably above our level has supposedly said he wants to comes to us,maybe he was in the MUFC U21's when they played us and was impressed with us/our stadium and thinks we looked a good place to do his first loan into league football,the lad Wheatley would certainly be a coup for us,or could it be Ethan Ennis?"

A strange comment, football is all about opinions!
-
Thinking about it, this signing is in the same bracket as Herbie Kane, Jacob Ramsay, Matty Craig & Taylor-Richards. None of those players we knew an awful about before joining us on loan, but what an influence they all had and all came from the same level of pedigree.
Good luck Ethan, no pressure! ;)

Hope he is all that
Definitely not been written by his agent.
-
Maybe he combines the best of Ethan Galbraith with the best of Niall Ennis :lol:
Welcome Ethan, hopefully a great half season in prospect for both you and Doncaster Rovers :scarf:
-
From what I know, he’s very highly thought of so will be interesting to see how he does at our level. He’s not exactly a raw youngster either at 20 years of age. Will be interested to see how this goes, could be a great addition. Does this signal an outgoing for one of our wide players though with street also joining? This gives us Molly, Gibson, hurst, street and now Ennis as wide players? Sounds a lot
-
A number 11 was the priority in this window would be nice if we could get a 10 now maybe thats why the lad went back to hull to free up a loan player space in the team
-
I watched the Trophy game v Man U on the tele.
He was their stand out player.
Really pleased we’ve got him.
-
Wouldn’t be surprised if Sbarra went out on loan or even maybe Ironside.
-
I can’t see him letting Ironside go out, however this is football and nowt surprises me anymore when it comes to the beautiful game !
-
Hell of a better player than our last loan from man united and we can all say he wasn't a bad player was he?!
-

This lad is nowhere near a straight swap for Yeboah, he’s much better and really surprised he’s not got a loan in L1.
My guess is Tommy has had some influence in this move, looking forward to seeing how this lad develops once he’s had some games to settle in.
Good chance this was the statement signing!

Street is a centre forward who’s spent less than 10% of his career games out wide (scroll down to positions).

Diallo was a £20m player at a younger age than him. He may still be good but the very best ones don’t go on loan to L2 teams at 20.

Have you had s few?

Absolutely correct - no doubts at all about this lads ability based on that match, plus the majority on here surely would trust in Tommy Rowe not to send us a pup.
-

Ouch, so if he doesn’t score directly from a corner, be player of the month and win games on his own for us, he is a failure.
-

Not really that baffling a lot of clubs play that way full back over laps inverted winger to cut inside and play off their strongest foot.

Either is fine if you execute things correctly.

Some questions regarding this lads age and being loaned to league 2.
However in 2022 he was out for 14 months due to a ACL injury.
Most on here will understand they can seriously affect any player’s career, so I would suggest this is main reason why he only just getting thing s back on track.
Interesting that some mu fans are suggesting he should be included in first team squads because they rate him more than garnacho!
Probably a bit more due to garnacho’s performances but he is highly rated by coaching staff and their.
There were championship and league 1 players interesting in taking him on loan, but there priority was who could offer the most game time. (Sort of suggests he is going to start most of games, so someone is going to miss out!)

it is baffling when it’s blatantly not working for us!!!!! We don’t have Mo Salah

None of the wide players who miss out can have any complaints.
-
Vale have done similar to us and bolstered their attack with a Premier League u21 player. And this lad has a great looking record of 13 goals in 16 and top scorer in Prem League 2. Sounds like a good catch
Be interesting to see how he and our lad react to real competitive footy

Grant has said one of the front players can now go on loan to get minutes... Sbarra?

Man U fans are always going to underestimate how hard it will be for their academy lads to make an impact in L1/L2 though.
Look at Joe Hugill from Man U. Prolific at academy level but is struggling in League One.
This lad could set the league alight, but when it’s their first loan in men’s football the fact is you just don’t know how they’re going to find it. L1/L2 teams put weakened sides in the EFL trophy, so that’s still not an accurate gauge.
And then on top of that it’s a question of whether they can do it consistently in dealing with pressure from the crowd, increased expectations from the manager and getting bigger whacks in a game.

Ethan Galbraith seems to have settled into League One, playing regularly at Leyton Orient.

Speaking of which. He made a move back in April to Portland Timbers 2, the development squad of Portland Timbers. He still hasn't played a game yet I don't think due to injury, but signed a six month extension with them in November. His mystery of a career continues. Hope he can get some minutes before too long.
-
I have a well informed Man Utd supporting mate. His comment on hearing of Ennis signing for us was "He's too good for you".
He got a very short reply, but he does imply he's good

-
Taylor-Richards ! forgot about im .... I just checked out where he is nowadays on loan at lowly Cambridge from QPR umm would we take him on loan for the final year of his contract when we are promoted ?
"On 11 May 2023, Queens Park Rangers announced that Richards' move would be made permanent on a three-year deal"
-
Grant has said one of the front players can now go on loan to get minutes... Sbarra?
Hope not. He’s a clever player and different to anyone else we have. He needs to be playing a part as we need to be better at unlocking tight defences

Well that would be a typical response from a well informed Man Utd fan I reckon, full of it.Very disrespectful.

Sbarra was very good today and played the superb ball for Moly to go on and score.

thought he was a passenger until that moment myself. I think he’s miles out of his depth. We need better.

according to BBC Maxwell did the assist !
Goal!
at 51 minutes
51'
Goal! Hull City 0, Doncaster Rovers 1. Luke Molyneux (Doncaster Rovers) left footed shot from the centre of the box to the bottom left corner. Assisted by James Maxwell.
-
Then whoever typed the info at the press association which feeds into the bbc, got it wrong.
-
Sabarra was very good today ,but they all were to be honest TSL MOM was great

To everyone who's doubted TSL recently (i've been one myself) that save late on in the second half won us that game, well played fella.
-
Fully agree Danum. TSL my MOM along with Sterry
-
The assist for the goal wasn't even good. The defending there was atrocious. Sbarra be good in your 5 a side team when the ball doesn't come off the ground and played in small cages

Sbarra isn’t going to be good when the ball is in the air is he, although he did win two headers today.
The ball to Mols was well played and the pace on the pass was good enough to give him the chance to get on the end of it and good enough to force the defender to stretch to try and stop it, but only to get a toe on it.
-
Corridor of uncertainty pass. Softer, defender gets it, harder Mols cant take it on his left foot and cut in. That it tempted the defender to think he could get it and so he stopped sprinting is a bonus and gave space for Mols to finish.
