Ben Nelson

Been very impressed by him.

How he struggled to get in the Rochdale side is beyond me.
Looks very calm and composed young lad. Hope we have sights on signing him up in the summer when his contract ends.

Solid next to Anderson today and links up nicely with maxwell.

Also hope we have plans on brown too

He’s a England youth captain isn’t he? Will be surprised if we get chance to sign him. Not that we shouldn’t try!

I thought he struggled 1st 2 games but was very good today when given more time on the ball, his passing to me when pressed was poor,  today didn’t put a foot wrong

The lad was excellent today. Good positioning, strong in the challenge and much better distribution than previously. Could be a big asset in the run in.

I hope we can sign him up. He's only 18.  He, with Olowu could make a massive contribution to ending our defense frailties for the forseeable future.

Not a chance we would be getting him on a permanent deal.
Even if we were in League 1 next season.

Leicester will have an eye on him as a future 1st team player.
He was in the England U19’s that won the Euro’s

No idea how highly Leicester rate him but he wasn’t in the Euros winning squad.

This is correct. He wasn’t in the squad.

Interestingly though pretty much every player in that squad was from an elite Premier League side, with the exception of this lad from Peterborough United - Ronnie Edwards.

Thought I read somewhere that he was.  Stand to be corrected if he wasn’t.

I'm afraid there's absolutely no chance we'll sign him permanently.
