Said when it happened it seemed a bit ambitious and West Brom bringing in Armstrong really limits the minutes. Outside of key injuries, it's only going to get harder to find opportunities in the run-in as West Brom push for play-offs. Dane and Parrott both had similar loans where the club chose to push them above the level they're ready for instead of sending them lower down for consistent minutes.
Yeah the loaning of young strikers to the Championship doesn't work. They are competing for one position against established players with bigger reputations like Armstrong at WBA and in Dane's case has come against forwards who have just led their clubs to promotion in Harris (Oxford) and Hirst (Ipswich).Said when it happened it seemed a bit ambitious and West Brom bringing in Armstrong really limits the minutes.
