The forgotten Cardiff City striker thriving in League Two who could still make an impact in the Premier League

His loan expires in January and could yet play a Premier League role

Cardiff City have some very real dilemmas surrounding their strikers at the moment, but one young Bluebirds forward is thriving out on loan.

Rhys Healey agreed a temporary deal with Milton Keynes Dons towards the end of August, although many Cardiff aficionados believed he deserved a chance in Neil Warnock's first team squad.

Instead Healey has been busy trying to justify the regard in which he's held by some Cardiff fans. Under experienced boss Paul Tisdale he's scored three goals in four starts for loan club MK Dons.

And with his Stadium MK deal expiring in January — coupled with Cardiff's problems up front — the 23-year-old may come back into the reckoning for his parent club, though he's admitted he will need to hit bigger numbers in terms of goals for the League Two side.

Always though the lad had potential, good at getting into the right place in the box. Hope he's given a chance by Neil.

One of my criticisms of Warnock is that we brought in potential strikers but had one there

These days there’s more to being a striker than the ‘potential’ to score.

I like the thought of having potential to score!

Like Hoilett, Zohore has lost his confidence. It's a real test of how good players are playing in the Premier league, and so far both have failed to step up. But....they are both very talented, as we've seen in the past. I contend our style under Warnock doesn't help them. Hoilett needs to be encouraged to move into spaces rather than stay wide all the time. With Big Ken we must play to his strengths, in other words don't lump it in the air. Another manager is the solution.

At the moment I would take an Earnshaw type player who would deliver goals but not much else. Points make prizes and to get points we need goals.

So let me get this right.

People think Rhys Healey who has only scored two league two goals in six league appearances should be being used by us in the premier league.

He’s not good enough for the championship never mind the premier League.

People getting desperate and clutching at straws I think.

That may be so, but is Madin e good enough - we know the answer to that. Yet Madin e is in the 25. At least Health and Bogle looked fit and
sharp. I don't blame people querying whether either one or both would have been a better bet in the 25 :shock:

Bogle is by far better then both. Unfortunately he pissed Warnock off so he’s a goner we won’t see him playing for us again.

Madine isn’t good enough for the premier league but he is a far better player then Healy is.
