Newcastle United boss Alan Pardew plans to loan out several of his youngsters.
Few of Pardew's young guns enhanced their reputations on a difficult night in Bordeaux, and he admitted some of them might have to prove themselves elsewhere before being given another opportunity.
He said: "Certainly looking at my group there, I think they need to learn a little bit more about this game away from the black and white and the pressure of the jersey here and the level we are playing at.
"I will probably look at loaning a few of those who played tonight, hopefully after January when I have got a stronger position in the squad."
