You still classing the 23 year old Willis and Burge who is 25 in January as kids? The point I was trying to make was pointed out to you in black and white. I hope that was clear enough. If not, read it again slowly.

Sorry, misread it! Yes they were kids, are older now and still not good enough. Guess we we will see with Ponticelli.:emoji_thumbsup:You still classing the 23 year old Willis and Burge who is 25 in January as kids?

What loan can we have then???????Got to give him a go. If he doesn't work out we will need to get a striker in on loan because the others don't seem to be working out either. If we don't sort out the forward line we can forget about promotion.
Deserves at least a place on the bench this boy one chance is all he needs

If you wind back the thread 12 months the same comments were being made about Jack McBean
Are you suggesting that young boys need to be broken in gently?Agree, he needs to be broken in gently
Jack McBean the 17 year old academy prospect who we own, or some other Jack McBean that isn’t a sensible comparison?

But they only deserve their chance if they're good enough, and the manager's in a better position than most to judge that.I am sure it would be said about any player in the under 23's who is excelling in their position. Whilst those in the senior team are not performing.
Once they are given their chance some will turn out to be a Callam Wilson, a Sheff. A George Thomas. Whereas others will not take the chance.
Point is you only find out when they get the chance
In my opinion Jordan Ponticelli and Kwame Thomas should be on the bench as viable options to bring on if McNulty & co aren't scoring. Their form for the U23s warrants a place in the match day squad.
Our U23s are playing against U23 squads from Championship level football clubs... Leeds, Nottingham Forest, Birmingham, etc. and our strikers are scoring lots of goals!
Kwame is a strange one. He seems to be considered an U23 player by Robins and hasn't been around the first team squads for a while not even in the Checkatrade. Don't think he has much of a future here which is a shame because I thought he played pretty well when he got back from injury
The loan window shuts when the transfer window does, now.Got to give him a go. If he doesn't work out we will need to get a striker in on loan because the others don't seem to be working out either. If we don't sort out the forward line we can forget about promotion.
But no loans available now was my point!!!I take it you were already aware of every striker we have signed either on a permanent or as a loan before we signed them in the past?
For me most of them I had never heard of before

Callum Wilson, didn't break through until he was 21?
George Thomas, had 3 years training with the first team before getting a run?
But no loans available now was my point!!!
And Ponti may still turn out to be a Sheff, a George Thomas a Callum or he may turn out to be one of the hundreds who don't make it. The point is he needs a chance, that chance for most players comes when the senior pros in their position are not doing it or there is an injury crisis and they are currently excelling in the under 23's
Jeez-hope he turns out better than Sheff. One of the most overrated overhyped Coventry City players of all time. Did you know he was from Cov?:emoji_rolling_eyes:And Ponti may still turn out to be a Sheff, a George Thomas a Callum or he may turn out to be one of the hundreds who don't make it.

Overrated and overhyped in your head maybe. He was a decent enough servant at championship level, that's all.Jeez-hope he turns out better than Sheff. One of the most overrated overhyped Coventry City players of all time. Did you know he was from Cov?:emoji_rolling_eyes:
That 18 year old kid is older than Adam Armstrong was when he was here and scoring for fun.I can't imagine for a minute that Robins has gone out and got these strikers in, given them half a dozen games and then thought I will ditch them and give an 18 year old kid their place ...not going to happen...Ponticelli needs to keep his head down and keep scoring goals for the unders, his chance will come probably thro' injury then its up to him
Jeez-hope he turns out better than Sheff. One of the most overrated overhyped Coventry City players of all time. Did you know he was from Cov?:emoji_rolling_eyes:
Adge, are there any actually Cov players you've rated in the last 5-10 years? The only player I can remember you giving a positive analysis on was Nathan Clarke
