Gunn hails his loan recruits

Reading striker David Mooney, Alan Gow, Alan Lee, David Carney and Ryan Bertrand have all stood out for the Canaries since arriving at the club and Gunn is keeping an eye on their situations. Gunn said: ""There might be opportunities to talk to their parent clubs about them and I'm sure if they continue to show the form they are in and excite the fans the way they do, and we stay in the Championship, that will make it easier for a manager to go to a board of directors and say 'These are the type of players we need at this club if we're going to make an impact next season'. "Certainly they're doing themselves no harm at the moment but on the other side of it, they are not our players. "It's a bit of a Catch 22 situation. We want them to do well for us but their clubs are looking at them in every game as well, so they've got the opportunity to bring them back into their own environment and use them as they see fit. "I think the standard of player we have now is the kind of player this club will need to take the next step forward and make sure we're not in the situation where we're battling against relegation. These are the type of players that we'll need."
