The PSR situation has changed how I view players like LOB. We either move him on prior to 30 June to help address the 23/24 PSR position or, if that's not possible, we keep him here next year to take the squad place when Kouyate departs.

I remember Lewis O Brien as a class central midfielder in our promotion year. The lad has been very unlucky with the Blackburn debacle ruining that season although he did well in the states. Illness and injury have blighted much of this season but a consistent run in the side has coincided with Boro going on a good run up the league.
I reckon there would be a fair amount of options for him next season if he stays fit.

Wycombe fan here with a quick Dale Taylor report, now that the season is winding down.

42 appearances in all competitions
8 goals (though 3 were in EFL Trophy)
2 assists

He has played better in the 10, close to Vokes or Lubala, than as the striker himself. We have certainly been able to get a lot of mileage out of him this season, as he has been pretty durable, and hopefully that appearance count will benefit Forest either way as you decide next steps.

He almost scored the goal of the century a few weeks back, wriggling by half the other team (can't remember who) from the halfway line a la Maradona, before his shot was saved in the box. What might have been!

My own verdict is that League One is around his level currently. If we somehow got him in on a permanent I would be perfectly content, as he has shown enough to be a solid player at this level. I have no idea if he will develop any higher. He is only 20, but obviously a big jump to the Champo. He has a pretty decent chance of being in the starting lineup at Wembley for the Trophy final.

Cheers for the loan either way - hopefully we have built a good relationship with your management over this, and can grab a gem on loan for 24/25!

It would be a brilliant experience for him to play in a Wembley final. He started in the FA Youth Cup Final at Old Trafford a few years back which was sold out so he shouldn't be over-awed by the occasion.

He did really well at Burton last season so it's good to see that he has continued to develop. It probably won't happen for him at Forest but he's an asset that we can make a profit on in the future.

I would expect Dale to be involved on Sunday, either as a starter or sub, for sure.

He does have a great attitude, and is well liked around the club. Luke Leahy does a funny impression of him too (15:48 in the video below if anyone cares).

Hopefully he will make a career somewhere in the top three divisions and bring you some benefit.
