Sam McCallum, how has he looked out on loan?

I'd have Bong as backup to Byram over Mumba.

Personally I’d have bong on a Friday or Saturday night with a few friends, but I may have misunderstood. 🧐

So injury prone he played over 40 times last season.

Absolute horse ****.

16 this season, two separate injuries, 25 games missed.

40 last season, 9 games missed.

25 the season before last, because of injuries, 21 games missed.

He's a young man, should be at peak fitness with fast recovery. Given how long it takes to get back up to speed after injury, he's not a reliable option. Even as a back up, you don't know if he'll be fit.

Happy to be corrected but I can't see any evidence for your claim he missed all those games due to injury. Searches just bring up his qpr injuries.

Voted their young player of the year 👍

Sam McCallum turned 21 this season, he’s had plenty of championship games. Like Tzolis, I’m not willing to write him off.

Which is surprising as he's only played in 15 league games. Must be an old squad.

Or alternatively he's been very good in the games that he's played.

Lots of people are saying that we'll be fine with Byram and Mumba as right backs next season, and in January I would've probably agreed, but Mumba has struggled for game time at Peterborough in a poor side, despite looking very promising when he has featured for us. Is there a reason why he has gone from being a regular starter in his first few games at Peterborough to suddenly being an unused sub most games?

Yep 100%

If we sell Aarons WE WILL SIGN another right back. Mumba will probably go out on a season long loan to league one level.

I think there was a time this season where he was playing second fiddle to Lee Wallace so I'd say he's not been that good.

As I recall when he came back from injury the manager said that he would have to "earn his place back - nothing would be given on a plate" or something to that effect.

He seems to have done so.

I was going to say. Up until the injury he was first choice for sure and now again once they have gone back to using fullbacks.

I remember making this point at the start of our last championship season, when people weren't sure about loaning him out then. At his current age he is so far off his prime years it'd be crazy to give up on him just yet. We signed him when he burst into senior football and based off a small sample size it seemed he had the potential to go on to great things. Now if he did that then we would merely be a stepping stone. Only need to look at Harry Toffolo playing very well for a side at the top end of the championship at the minute. He's 26, he didn't leave us until he was around 23 and there is probably a decent argument he could have been given a shot (Lewis was better, and younger). The point is that in McCallum we could have a very good player for our level in 3/4 years, better off to keep him around than write off immediately.

Ferguson quit and he went from a starter to a sub. Was in the middle of February after the Preston game.

Edit: was after Derby.

Fair explanation; I had forgotten about that. 

There's still the question to be asked of why McCann doesn't fancy him, but hopefully it's just a case of McCann not rating him rather than any more general issue.

Mumba made a few appearances for us in the Championship last season and looked quite promising. Byram also only has one year left, and so there’s a possibility Mumba might become first choice next season
