I've seen it all in my time and sometimes it's better for a young lad to get games under his belt at a smaller club then try but not perform on the bigger stage. With a run of games will come confidence and the last thing you want is him to come back, be pitched into a higher level of football and be inconsistent, great one game anonymous the next. time will tell but he may come back after 28 days, he may come back for pre-season but I'll wager you'll see more of him next season.
