That’s okay if they play regularly if not they are better off staying here.Reid and Tavares stepping up now according to Tisdale. Says Reid was shocked at the intensity of Championship training (sums up how shite the SPL actually is if he had 20 apps for his team).
Tavares sounds erratic but a runner, non stop and keeps plugging away, plus saw a few highlights end of last season, his pace and trickery is something we don't have. Could be a diamond in the rough.
The question is do we loan either of these two out? Tavares won't get near our first team this season, bit like Bapaga but will they learn more in 23s or playing L1/2?
Won't pretend i watch the u23s regularly but on the couple of games I streamed last season he was the stand out performer. Definitely something there. I feel we're overly harsh on 20 year old footballers these days, I swear we used to give players til they were 22/23 to decide if they were going to break through.Tavares is 5th in line for a striker berth or effectively 4th in line whilst Godden remains unavailable.
I think we'll keep him around, especially as he offers something completely different with electric pace & exceptional work-rate. Yes his positioning & finishing particularly still need work, along with some of his link up play but there's plenty of potential there.

I disagree there, by 20 or 21 clubs will have a good idea whether a player is going to be able to progress with them or not. Trying to think of players we’ve let go at that age who have proved us wrong, maybe Josh Ruffels at a push but even he took the long route.
Clarke-Harris?
I'm not on about the clubs as such, well I am a bit but yes the clubs will have a more than good idea at 21 whether at 22/23 they could have something. I'm more talking about fans who if a player isn't ready for the first team at 19/20 are saying obvs not good enough get rid.I disagree there, by 20 or 21 clubs will have a good idea whether a player is going to be able to progress with them or not.

Oh yeah, he was 18 and I believe that was more for disciplinary reasons than footballing ones
You haven't just had a baby too have you? I can barely function enough to brush my teethFucking hell my maths is letting my down today, how did I get 22 from 2012-1994?
