Yes, he’s rated by the management here which is half the battle as a young player.
Grimsby fans said he took a couple of games to get up to speed but has been great since, tough league for an 18yo.

Not massively different to lower league 2 really anymore is it .. some big clubs at that level now and like you said a very tough league for your first full season

Yes, every chance.
He has a lot of technical ability. The areas he needed to improve are his physicality & his decision making & awareness, particularly off the ball. Seems to be making great strides at NL level which is about as tough an ask as you could give a player of his ilk.
Fingers crossed.

He’s okay, still relatively young for a goalkeeper, 21 today. Went to Scunthorpe League 2 which would give a better idea of where he’s at but got injured first game

Yep, I know some regular watchers had him as their U23 player of the year last season. His weakness was his distribution so he was kept around rather than loaned out last year to work on that & our playing out from the back style. I've not seen him play for a while but I believe he's kicked on (pardon the pun!).
As STP says this loan would have been ideal but unfortunately injury has derailed it somewhat.
I think Howley is very highly rated too. Isn’t George Burroughs also considered a top prospect for us?

For bapaga to start to rip up and become so influential in the national league is great. Needs to continue consistency the whole season though.
Same with cashman, good start but not done much in 4-5 games now

To be fair to Cashman the whole Rochdale team have gone completely off the boil

Yeah manager probably taking him out of the limelight for a bit. When you get a chance need to take it, the part where you find yourself out of the team and how you respond is just as important as playing imo in development

Grimsby have a few big buggers. Any that would be good enough for us? The camera man seemed to have a thing for the rather attractive camera woman. Perhaps we should sign her to do our You Tube highlights.

Bapaga wins another penalty for Grimsby at the weekend as they extend their lead at the top with a 2-0 win over Yeovil
I think that’s now 3 goals and 5 penalties won

Can Bapaga be recalled January or is it a twelve month deal ,

National League is a million miles from the Championship. If we were going to recall him it would be to get him a L1/2 loan instead IMO.

Leave him there for the whole season he wouldn’t be near the first team here.

It’s until the end of the season and we let him play in the FA Cup. Robins and Paul Hurst go a long way back and in good hands playing in a winning team - there’s no rush he’s 18. The Grimsby fans have said he’s improved a lot

The difference between L2 and the Conference isn't that big tbf, if he's playing regularly and contributing we'll keep him there.

Bapaga came on in the 90th minute for Grimsby yesterday, Cashman an unused substitute for Rochdale.

Not so good this week. The Cashman hype has quietened down significantly
