While Nigel Pearson's senior squad are continuing to prove their worth this season, the youngsters who remain on the periphery are quietly going about their business around the country.
As is such with the number of talented youth products in the Robins academy, the necessity to send them out on loan to increase their experience and improve their game remains paramount.
At the beginning of the season, Pearson made comment that a few players may fall victim to City's lack of squad depth as it means they can't afford to be sent out temporarily in case of an injury crisis. That may apply to the likes of Sam Bell and Dylan Kadji who have remained with the youth side this season.
