Keiran is a very talented lad. The fact he's starting to produce match winning goals in senior football, at a good level is a major positive.

I never wanted him on loan. We miss creativity and he has it in bucket loads. He runs with a great confidence and never looks rushed. I thought he did very well pre-season, in clouding the aforementioned Genk game when he was bombed out after.

With all that being said, I don't think this loan is doing him any harm. He's been rested a fair bit recently, and gone slightly off the boil. Hopefully (and you would imagine) the message will be "end product" not just looking nice in games but making big contributions. He has responded and then some today. Hopefully that can be the catalyst to him consistently adding goals, ideally 15 this season.

Most Forest fans say he's one of the stars of the division. Thats should be the minimum we want. He will grow physically, mentally and learnt to be a team player as a result, and being away from the chaotic regime of Koeman will have helped him. I'm sure we could get him back, but regular football will do him the world of good.

This will sound a bold statement, but if Unsworth gets the jobs full time I can see next season Unsworth getting this lad into the England squad. He needs to keep kicking on, but I think in 18 months he could get to a level beyond even Barkley.
Good post, I agree with all of that. We can only hope that Unsworth can be as good a 1st team manager as he was at U23 level. This is a pivotal moment for the club, him and the young players he has helped develop. I'm really praying that Unsworth can pull it off.
