cosanostra Posted January 23, 2020 Share Posted January 23, 2020 20yr old centre half on a 6 month loan. Guessing he'll be back up or even used as a defensive midfielder. We really need at least one, if not two proper first team midfielders and a goalscorer but if he thinks this guy will help then welcome aboard.

tartofmidlothian Posted January 23, 2020 Author Share Posted January 23, 2020 This is from AFC Wimbledon's coach when he turned pro with them in 2016: Jeremy Sauer said: “When we were discussing at the start whether Toby was right for a professional contract, the first question was ‘where do we see him in the future?’ His versatility probably works in his favour. At the moment Toby’s target in terms of his development focuses on him being more aggressive and being more of a leader as a centre-back. That’s something which may take a little longer and working with Alan Reeves he has got the right man for the job. “Toby can also play at right-back because he is so comfortable on the ball. As he can also get up and down the pitch brilliantly, it means he is going to get minutes there. He is going to be focusing on a centre-back role in the long-term, but if an opportunity comes up at right-back in the first-team and he takes it you never know what could happen. “Toby has done brilliantly in such a short space of time. He understands our identity and he has worked on that with a variety of coaches. One of the biggest tests for a young footballer is when they progress into a full-time football environment. They are in and around the first-team every day and they have to change from boys to men. Toby has coped with that really well.” Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last Laff Posted January 23, 2020 Share Posted January 23, 2020 Nice to see Barnsley still dealing with us. Hopefully they weren’t offended being called tin pot loads. Who’s he replacing? I wouldn’t imagine he will be swapping the Barnsley bench for ours? I’m happy with our back two at the moment and would be annoyed if it’s broken up tbh.

DC_92 Posted January 24, 2020 Share Posted January 24, 2020 By the looks of it, he played right-back last season and the first few games of this season but Stendel moved him to midfield for his last few games. Midfield makes the most sense for us too. I'd think our centre-back signing needs to be a more experienced player, rather than a spindly 20 year old who's barely played that position recently.

I agree it's a big call due to his age, but he also appears to be able to drive the team forward so Stendel could well play him in midfield Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
