Lee Bullen

Doesn't really mean anything.Ciaran Brennan and Conor Grant didn't get squad numbers when they were announced but played last night.

He has never started an U23 game. Scored 5 in about 15 games for U18s. Had a an injury and not sure if he played wide right.

That is essentially how it has been. We have picked up a lot of players released by other clubs. Orughide and Thorniley being best examples.

This is why we shouldn't get too expectant of him. First proper game and even though he came from Man City Academy he is 19 and starting out. To put it in perspective Alex Hunt is older and has more first team experience.

After seeing the penalties on Saturday and now that ex takers, Forestieri, Nuhiu and Fletcher have left who should be our penalty taker? Bannan has taken a penalty before but perhaps one of the new players or somebody else?

They always do this. When you see the clips of the players arriving at away grounds there are always a couple of the younger players.

Doesn't mean anything. They can be given a number as and when needed

It's not been though.Westwood got dropped. Dawson came in and stayed until lockdown. On the resumption Wildsmith came in and stayed for last 9 games as Monk said he wanted to take a look at him.

Sorry I didn't realise

Yes you would think they are different budgets. Over the last few years we have signed players like this. Some just play for U23s. Occasionally you get a Lavery or Thorniley who make it to our first team after being released by a club.

You would think so if they were good enough but the way the U23 squad is looking at the moment up front U16s will get in the side.

Interesting insight into the Carlos/Chansiri times😲
