Ballard - great game

Is it three? Won't he be back for the Easter Games .. Fri 2nd we play Swindon.

In theory, if he was up for it he could play as they face Bulgaria on Wednesday and we play Swindon on Friday. Suppose it depends how knackered he is!
 
Thought we were excellent defensively, Turton was solid, Thornilly had a good game, Garbutt was excellent, but Ballard was the pick of the bunch for me.
 
He was excellent today, now showing his full potential. If he carries on like this to the end of the season I can see arsenal having him in their squad for 2021/22.
 
Ballard as good as he is for us in League 1, is nowhere near the Arsenal 1st team squad and a very achievable target for us in the summer, if he wants to come here.

It can only beneficial for future loans from a top club if they see their players developing like Ballard has. Not all loans work out...Woodburn for example.

Woodburn was quite skilful but probably thought he was better than he actually is.
Also the team was still in a state of flux which did not help him.
He is out of contract next summer so probably worried about his career now.
He may still come good

We'll see, but he's only a young lad and is improving each game he plays. I can see him playing in the top league and Arsenal own him; he has a very bright future.
 
He will be a massive miss for us on Tuesday, but we don't seem to get beat with Thorniley in the team recently.
Not bad for a 5th choice !
 
He's not the quickest but is good positionally and has a great leap on him. Unlikely to be near the Arsenal first team next season but would definitely benefit from a season in the Championship.
