John lundstram

[ANDYEFC95]

John Lundstram has today joined Doncaster Rovers on loan.

The midfielder, a regular for the Club's Under-21s, joins the League One side for an initial month's stay at the Keepmoat Stadium.

Lundstram is a product of the Everton academy and is also captain of England Under-19s.

He has made 13 appearances for the Under-21s this term, scoring twice - the most recent of which was in the 3-0 win over Middlesbrough on Sunday. He turned 19 a day later.

Lundstram could make his debut when Rovers, currently third in League One, entertain fellow promotion chasers Yeovil at the weekend.

Heard lots of good things

Be interesting to see how he does.

Good for the lad. Doncaster are well place in League 1 as well, just below the automatic promotion spots. That does make me wonder if he will get starts though.

Doubt he'd be sent there without some agreement on playing time.Barkley came back from Leeds because they weren't going to start him

The type of side we should be sending our young players to.

Fabulous, just what the Doctor ordered for the lad.

He's learned all he can at the training ground, needs to put that into practice now into games that matter.

He'll slot in no problem into League One.

Sneaking under the radar this lid. Debut by 21.

Glad we're sending players out to clubs that aren't getting routinely bummed every week.

At least I won't be seeing him by mine or at the shop when I go at lunch in 6th.

Good luck to him like.

.........I like this lad. Big athletic type with a good range of passes and a hell of a dig. Always impressed me influencing a game more than the likes of Barklay and it will be interesting to see him playing competitive league football.

 

[Toffeeman1878]

Whenever I've seen him he looks like a Gibson sort of player

 

[Brennan]

I'd love it if we could get a couple of young players through into the first team at the same time.

Barkley and Lundstram please.

I've only seen him play as part of the England U20 side at the World Cup last year.
He looked the part though, and I thought he looked (dare I say it for fear of being stoned and pilloried in here) better than Ross Barkley.

I'm all in favour of exposing youth to the rigours of lower division first team actions. Helps define them.

 

[toffeejack]

good to see more and more youngsters going out and getting football league experience

There is a highlight on the OS from the Youth Cup match against Arsenal, showing Lundstram settling and slotting from outside the 18. He looked composed throughout the match, keeps his head up and passes incisively forward. You can tell he consciously picks his times to get forward. In fewer words, I like the way this lad approaches the mental aspect of the game. A loan spell at a capable outfit is just the ticket. Tip of the hat to this decision, and good luck John lad.
