Looks like we''re only going to have the one out-and-out fast winger in Redmond for now (until Bennett is back). Let''s hope Murphy helps Wigan take points off those teams around us

Good to see Toffolo, McGeehan, Jacob Murphy, Josh Murphy, Morris, Loza all going out and getting very valuable game time this season. Hopefully will stand them in good stead wherever they go on and play professional football.

Good luck Josh.

More valuable experience to hopefully become an NCFC regular in time.

Hope he gives our rivals plenty to cope with over the next few games.

Interesting that you think Murphy''s got more potential than Redmond but you begin by saying you hope he makes the grade... whereas Redmond has already made the grade.

 

Well over 100 apps for Birmingham and Norwich and about 20 odd caps for England U21s. And not even a full year older than Murphy.

 

If either of them are going to play for a bigger club than Norwich it''ll be Redmond.

Cant help thinking, at this stage of the season when we need all the options we can, that this isnt a good move.

Maybe it means a few bodies coming in, hope so.

[quote user="GJP"]Redmond has already made the grade. [/quote]Not for us he hasn''t. Potential yes but thus far unfullfilled and by a long wayIn all honesty he should be taking this league by the scruff of the neck & putting in quality performances week after week but overall his form this season has been underwhelming.

Ah, but just because he hasn''t fulfilled his potential doesn''t mean he isn''t good enough. There''s a difference.

 

He''s been underwhelming recently, for sure. But actually most of the season he''s been one of our better players.

 

He has made the grade as a professional footballer at this level. There should be absolutely no doubt about it.

Horseshit

Redmond has 7 assists (2nd highest at club) and created more goal scoring opportunities than anyone else in yellow and green.

For a while his performances on the right were the only thing keeping the clubs picking up points. Gone off the boil under Alex Neil as he doesn''t use wingers so much but still a vitally important player for Norwich this season.

I had Redmond as POTS until about January. He was going well but seems lately to have tapered off as young players do. I think he''ll come back refreshed from a few games out of the 11 and be massive for us. Hope he starts tonight, you all saw what he did when brought on at half time last time out against the Terriers.

Good move for the lad, he needs games, lets hope he can do some damage against the top clubs that Wigan still have to play

Not seen enough of Murphy in terms of first team starts to really judge him. Difficult for a young player to come off the bench and really make an impact.

If he does get some starts then this loan will be very beneficial to him and hopefully he will come back a more useful player next season.

I still think in terms of ability Redmond is head and shoulders above Murphy. Yes, his form has dropped recently but like someone mentioned earlier he has been one of our better performers this season and at the turn of the year he would''ve been in the running for POTS IMO.
