You do know that before joining us, Micky had played about 40 games for Volendam in the Dutch champo (which is way below the English one in terms of levels) and just one full season with Wolfsburg in the Bundesliga (33 games)? He's hardly Sergio Ramos.
I get your overall point, but maybe Ash ain't that much behind Micky in terms of (true) experience or even skills. He's also a lot fitter and not scared of heading the ball.
There have been in this thread a lot of posts saying that Phillips should automatically be re-loaned out next season on the basis he was not good enough to replace Romero or Van de Ven.
My post was to suggest that after 2 years loans in Championship, nobody was advocating that, but that his experience might well be enough to take the 4th CB position (with Romero or replacement, Van de Ven and Danso ahead of him) where he'd be a long way from being an automatic starter but still be available to provide cover whilst gaining PL level experience.
All players need to start somewhere and Van de Ven's experience in Dutch league was at a level below Championship, and at Wolfsburg he had one season playing at a level above Championship, so Phillips experience isn't as much different to Van de Venn as some posters might think.
And noteworthy that Phillips has been playing at a higher level for 2 seasons than Van de Ven had at an equivalent age - so Phillips is probably more developed than Van de Ven was at Philips current age (Phillips not 20 until June, whereas Van de Ven will be aged 24 within a week ).

All present and correct - Phillips, Keeley, Donley, Craig all start
On Lankshear watch again.
All Coventry ATM.
Will fouled twice in the last minute-only one given.
Yang on the left in the 1st half and had a big chance.
Smyth came on at HT, playing on the right. Yang now in what used to be called the inside right position and QPR looking dangerous but Yang not much involved but getting into good positions in the box.
Gets subbed off on 65.
