Always wary of players with double barrelled surnames.

And also people who post on here with a double surname :wideyed:

@better days Any good Mark?

Reckon he's been signed for the U23s
We are a bit short of top quality apart from.Eccles at the moment
We seem to be getting a good record of signing young players and bringing them through in a relatively short time

Cheers Mark. Good luck in getting the guys fired up for 3 points tomorrow

Where in midfield does he play? I assume box to box or a number 10....

 

[stevefloyd]

Hot prospect or media propaganda? Good luck to the lad and lets hope we have found a good one

What's the latest with Jack Burroughs? Has he been injured?

He was having to fill in at the back as the U23s were so short of defenders

This seems a bit of a contradiction. We've signed quite a number of U23's recently so how can we be both short of quality and have a good record of signing young players.

Yes, we've had the likes of McCallum, Westbrooke and Hyam break through, but them we've got Bosma, Walters, Wakefield, Bremang, Allassani who've not looked like getting in and a fair few others who could go either way.

Last few years the academy lot haven't really stepped up either like before, although time should be on their side provided we give them time to develop.

It’s a balance isn’t it? If the young players aren’t good enough you plan and act don’t you

Of course you do, but the point was that we've invested heavily in the development squad (possibly due to a dearth of talent presenting itself in the academy to make up the development squad) and most seem to not be close to making the grade. So can you really say we've got a good record of signing development players? I'd say it's been average - a few that've come good but quite a lot that haven't.

I probably expect those we sign to be a bit further on and nearer the first team than an academy scholar getting their first pro-contract, especially if a fee was paid (even if it was only a small one)

Yep again it’s a balance. This guy looks like a potential first teamer

 

[Malaka]

He looks overwhelmed

Of course you're right a few haven't worked our but they were all probably on modest deals so worth a punt
I'd include Dabo as we took a young player who was released by a top side and he's paid off brilliantly
Pask is another. We haven't seen the best of him because he had a bad injury soon after joining but he could still come good
Eccles will probably have a career from the present batch
Newton an Bilson also have a chance

 

[Mcbean]

Not everyone is going to be a Madison but we will need a squad

From the little Ive seen of him Eccles looks a really good player. I’d thought he’d feature quite a bit this season. Then we got in Walsh and Ohare. If by some miracle we signed these two Id be really confident about our future, whichever division we are in.

 

[higgs]

Does the young keeper look a prospect then better days?

Morgan Williams too and you could possibly include Drysdale in that group

True
Both injured at the moment though

 

[Terry_dactyl]

Didn’t we sign a young lad who did his ACL (standard)? Possibly from Ipswich?

Dan Bartlett? Think he might have been from Soton.

That’s him. Any news on his recovery?
