Sepp van den Berg Player Thread

He is confirmed as being loaned to Preston. Work hard Sepp.

I’m actually really intrigued how he gets on, I was very excited when we got him but unfortunately we haven’t seen much, even in the cups.

Great move for the boy. Best of luck to him

It seems he's been deployed mostly as a right back for Preston. He's never been the quickest, so it's a bit of a strange one...
I don't think he will have a future with us in that position, but it can be good for his overall development.

Yeah, I wonder what's up with that. He did play the last 4 games as a center-back according to Transfermarkt  (in a 3 men backline) but it's mostly been RWB this season as well as last season.

I guess it can't really do him any bad in terms of becoming better with the ball at his feet as well as passing the ball but I also guess there is some things beyond my understanding that are going on in terms of our staff's vision for him

Could be as simple as he isn't bulky enough to be a CB (YET), especially in a physical league like the championship.
He has the ability to play the games but maybe the coaches see it as a weakness that he hasn't fully physically developed yet. Similar to Joe Gomez' development

Could be, but that's usually something you'd do with the ressies. It's a little bit strange to take a player on loan, and then play him out of position...

Anybody watches the Championship and could give us an update on this kid? If I remember correctly I liked his performance when he played against us in the League Cup back in October.

Reports are he has done well and is a bit of a fan favourite.
I always thought he was a bit slow tbh. Especially with our high line.

Not sure he'll become part of our set up in the long run but he has done well, so we at least will get a tidy profit on him.
