I went to the game tonight. Ross came on at half time and did very little in a very poor Sheff Weds side totally outplayed by Brighton.

Ross played just behind Jay Bothroyd and was often frustrated as he saw very little of the ball so he came deeper to try and pick it up and influence things. His touch was ok and he dropped little short passes into his team mates but did little to improve his side in the half.

I tnink behind the striker is where he should play and where he can offer most to Sheffield Weds i.e. his creativity but you've spotted his weakness: lanquid movement. He needs to really sharpen up his game around the edge of the box to succeed at this level, and up it agian for the Premiership. If he can add sharp one-two's to his game and get some shots away then he will come back a much better player. Not saying that he can't do those thing it's just that he doesn't, same for using his left foot a bit more. Suspect that life has been a bit too easy for him in youth football and he needs to develop quickly if he's to grow into the player he could be.

One thing I noticed was that he didn't often come towards the ball and so often found the ball intercepted. This could be something he will improve a bit more with age but it's something he needs to work on as is his workrate when he doesn't have the ball

Another thing about this 45 minute run down of Barkley, i dont think you can read too much into it as it was his first run out for Wednesday and he'd only met the sqaud for the first time as he travelled down with em on the firday, IF he did so with the deal being done that day?!.

So he's not trained with em, they dont fully know his personality, his abilities with a ball or the way he plays and by all accounts Brighton battered em and Wednesday saw very little of the ball so i dont think you can make too much of a judgement from that 45 minutes last night.

Give him time to train with the team and get to know the lads a bit better and see how he gets on from there and then judge him i reckon.

Isn't there a rule where you can only extend for the same period as the initial loan. I could be making this up

Last season (August 2011), Shane Duffy went on loan to Scunthorpe for a month. The month-long loan was subsequently extended FOUR separate times in succession - a month each time - until it ended January 8th, and he returned to Everton.

Really wouldn't surprise me if this happened with Barkley. You are allowed to do extensions outside the transfer window.
