Kopparberg Posted September 1, 2021 Share Posted September 1, 2021 How did he do last night ? Will he push on ? He’s only 20 I think… maybe the pizza cup will be he place to shine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tea Baggins Posted September 1, 2021 Share Posted September 1, 2021 He looked a beast, pace, power and drive. Abeit against weak opponents, I think he’s a top prospect 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post CircleSeven Posted September 1, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted September 1, 2021 Looked pretty good but as has been said very weak opponents. That said he is under 21 himself and looked like a man playing against children to be honest. 14 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
George Posted September 1, 2021 Share Posted September 1, 2021 Yep. He's twenty. Looks great on last night's highlights but it was a bit men against boys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StudentOwl Posted September 1, 2021 Share Posted September 1, 2021 Hard to tell properly as others have said, because I reckon even I would have looked half-decent surrounded by the quality he was surrounded by that was just so much better than the opposition... That said, he did look good. Tentatively I'd say he really does have the potential to break through this season and make regular appearances from the bench... IMO 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IMO If he does he will be a cracking player because there is a lot of talent here now. I'd fancy our current squad to do reasonably well in the Championship.. Not challenge but certainly not be as dire as we were last season. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good point. He’s a physically strong looking lad. Maybe it’s mostly natural and some to do with training with the first team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He stroked the ball around with perfect weight on each pass. Physically strong too, against players not much younger than him, although we've seen his strength last season against more seasoned pros, and he was more than a match for them. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post trev Posted September 1, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted September 1, 2021 This is the thing....its all well and good our seasoned pros in their mid to late 20s looking good against under 21s...they are supposed to be better. But our youngsters who are the same age as a premier league youth side also looked way better. That's a very very good sign. 17 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

4evaowl Posted September 1, 2021 Share Posted September 1, 2021 He was good last night. Given his age he played like a man, not a young lad. Like some others he’s a bit raw and the coaches need to work with him on hitting the target with his shots, as he got into good positions, but has plenty of positive attributes.

bladeshater Posted September 1, 2021 Share Posted September 1, 2021 He did ok last night but the problem is there's a fair bit of quality in front of him here 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
torryowl Posted September 1, 2021 Share Posted September 1, 2021 unless we hit a really bad spell its hard to see how he gets into the starting eleven which is a shame for lad coz he does seem to have summat about him ....... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

True, but replace them two youngsters with any two of there's in the same positions and put them with our other nine players and do you think they might have looked just as good. I recon so!.

Costello 77 Posted September 1, 2021 Share Posted September 1, 2021 Watched the full 90 this morning. He did as well as possible in that type of game. He's mobile and athletic and can spot and make a run. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S72 Owl Posted September 1, 2021 Share Posted September 1, 2021 Would really benefit from a loan spell somewhere so he can play regular football. He has lots of good attributes. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he wants it enough and applies himself he will be given a chance I’m sure. Definitely a player in there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
