Personally I would like to have seen him given the chance over the latter part of the season with us.
I'm not saying Europe is out of the question, but realistically I can't see us improving our form enough to maintain a challenge this season for the top 6/7, and we aren't going down. To my mind giving McConville some opportunity over the rest of the season would have made sense especially as we're likely to end up mid-table and we could do with seeing what he has to offer under slightly less pressure.
Not sure whether a loan (if true) down to that level makes any sense.

One Tweet from someone with 200 followers?
Don’t think it’s fair on the kid chucking him at the deep end when he’s only played a handful of U21 matches. Give him time.

I was referring to him as being more on the bench as cover, with a few sub appearances from time to time to aclimatise to the 1st team environment, and if he does ok then towards the end of the season he could be given a couple of starts. Not chucking him straight in as an immediate starter.

Be good however to get him some regular game time with mens football regardless how low level it is.

Blimey, he's better than League 2!
Should be looking at a team pushing for promotion in League 1 imho.

I don't think that's a genuine rumour. There are jokes messages on their. One about us signing an u21 but it's a play on words
