Nottingham Forest boss Billy Davies has admitted he is frustrated with the lack of progress being made by his young stars, currently out on loan at lower league clubs.
Davies is unhappy that not all of his players on loan are getting first team action at their temporary clubs. This comes after the Scot decided to scrap the Forest reserve side and instead send his fringe players out on loan, where he thought they would all get first team action and gain more experience than playing reserve team football.
However, it has not really worked that way as most of the players Davies sent out on loan are not playing.
Brendan Moloney started regularly for neighbours Notts County but has struggled to get in the team recently. County are apparently looking to sign the Irish right back permanently however.
Matt Thornhill joined Brighton on loan as part of the Joel Lynch transfer, but the Wollaton midfielder has struggled to make an impact on the South Coast.
Joe Heath has also failed to play regular football at Lincoln City, whilst keeper Shane Redmond has started just one game for League Two new boys Burton Albion.
Mark Byrne and James Reid are at least featuring for Rushden and Diamonds, but that is in the Blue Square Premier and may be a while before the two midfielders are ready to feature in Davies' thoughts for the first team at the City Ground.
