Concept and idea is great from the colours to the badge, execution just isn't quite there for me. But like the thought.

Did alright but I think he's the type that he looks like he is flagging more than he actually is. He isn't match fit right now, but I still think we'll be questioning that even when he's at 100% to be honest, he just has that very laidback style where he looks like he isn't in a game and then will effortlessly skip past a player 5mins later.

Loved Neale last night, I think he's borderline ready but maybe a loan would be the best route. Very steady, bit of a Braybrooke duplicate - which makes me think send him on the same path to league two and he will be more than ready to go next year. Hutchinson was decent, I just don't see him as a winger. Seems to be following the same path as Evans of being farmed out wide when they're just not wingers. Haven't watched much of Lawrence but got the impression from him I always got from Joseph - versatile and a good pro which will take them both on to good careers.

Book value rules don't apply in League One.

I thought the same. This bloke comes across as an absolute bull shit artist, hope there’s more interested as all I can see is this bloke providing more fuel to the “be careful what you wish for” brigade.

Forgot Howell. McFarlane, Page, Howell and Aluko would be the four bankers for England youth sides that would force a postponement alone.

Braybrooke and Alves young enough for the 21's but probably unlikely. Joseph young enough for the U20s so in with a pretty good shout you'd think. Page, Aluko would be nailed on, Doyle and Watson have previous at U20 level so also a very good chance. McFarlane U19.

We're quite clearly not going to play a single game during international windows this season - Our England youth internationals alone are enough to request a postponement let alone Souttar, Cullen, Reid, Bristric, Kangasniemi or even more who might spawn a call up. Understand they have to go through their processes but it will all be a bit tedious.

For someone with such knowledge of our academy you’re very cynical about some of them

Between his social media posts today and him being pitch side at full time on Tuesday night, I’m pretty sure Chaplin knows it’s his gig.

Reminds me of a combo of Simpson and Pereira (at a lower level obviously) which is just about the best compliment you can give him. Very complete at this level, hopefully he can progress through the leagues with us.

Was thinking this, whenever you hear a manager say "he has a scan tomorrow" you might as well write it off.

This is a really weird post. Jakub has been dodgy but never a bad egg or absolutely awful. He was just starting to make it look like he was getting a fresh start, one he deserves compared to others still in this squad. You might think he hasn't been up to standards - fair enough, But if you don't think he is at the very least a top end of League 1 goalkeeper you need a reality check of where we are.

Used to show A LOT of trickery but it got coached out of him a bit, which was probably for the best in hindsight. Was half the reason everyone was so excited about him when he was younger.

Have you ever played with a goalkeeper?
