Brilliant loan spell for Stephens and Jordan Turnbull.

 

Playing virtually every minute in a decent side that plays out from the back.

 

Would be great if they can get to Wembley and then have a good go in pre season at staking a claim.

 

Wonder if either will be in our first team squad next year? Stephen's versatility to play CB, RB and in midfield could be useful.

It's too early to say - I really think both of them are good players but in terms of whether or not they're in our squad next year:

 

1. Our own CB situation (Koeman's confidence in Gardos, whether or not Toby stays, if he doesn't if we replace him with a new signing or not)

2. Whether or not we qualify for Europe

3. Whether or not Swindon get promoted and if they do, if we think a season for them both in the Championship with Swindon is better for them than fighting for minutes with us.

I thought that last night Stephens in particular showed that he could do a central midfield or centre back job for us in the future. His positioning, calmness on the ball, and passing were generally v impressive, in what must have been his biggest ever game, and against hostile, up and at them opposition.

 

Turnbull was less impressive, but I could see why we let them go to Swindon, a league one team that tries to play out from the back, irrespective of how foolhardy it seemed at times.

I think that is the ideal scenario.
