Queens Park Rangers have enjoyed a decent season under Mark Warburton, with the side just six points away from the play-off places.
The boss has made it clear that he was tasked with changing a lot at the club, with a big focus on bringing through younger players and changing the style of play. And, with the likes of Eberechi Eze and Bright Osayi-Samuel starring for the R’s, who are the third highest scorers in the league, you can say Warburton has succeeded on that front.

However, it will be a challenge to keep developing the youth and it was put to the fans on Twitter as to whether some of the more talented players coming through, such as Olamide Shodipo, Deshane Dalling and Osman Kakay, should be loaned out to gain experience before they compete for a first-team place.
And, it’s fair to say that question brought a mixed response from the support. Here we look at some of the comments as they debate who could be good enough to wear the Hoops…
Three of those need to be in our first team squad next season

Kakay and Shodipo are nowhere near good enough for Championship football. Dalling is a prospect, hopefully he’ll come good and Oteh needs a loan where he’s actually starting games, he didn’t get that at Walsall and Bradford

Disagree about Shodipo..think he needs a injury free run of games..whether it’s with us or out on loan. Think he will come good.

Dalling and Oteh are worth loaning out to somewhere they’ll play regular, not convinced by the other two tho

Shodipo and dalling 100%

Maybe Oteh, but does need to show that he can be clinical, and he hasn’t done that at the loan spells yet. Shodipo might be good enough, but would be on the fringe for sure. Kakay should be loaned out again, and so should Dalling.

I would add Hamalainen in there too. For me Shodipo has bulked up and looks a good prospect as does Dalling. Had high hopes for Oteh and really wanted him to do well on loan.
