Thomas was under 17 England captain, is now in the England under 19 squad and is a year younger than Ughelumba. He's the most promising young academy player we have. I can understand us prioritising Thomas tbh. I feel for Ughelumba though - he looked great when attacking down the left flank and he is now in central defence. It's a bugger that our two most promising u23 academy players play in the same position. One needs loaning out to a league one club come Christmas. Thomas, being in the England squad, should be easy to loan out. But getting Ughelumba loaned out as a promising left back, who was just about at league one standard, when we play him as a centre half may be difficult. Edited 19 September 2019 by Foxxed

If we play him a few games at left back before the winter window I think we could do it. There's surely some team in League 1 that needs a left back.

Cheers Will keep an eye on the next crop coming through, not seen anything of this Daniel Obi we recruited back end of last season. He was reported to be highly rated.

Another reason why a player approaching 20 in a few months should have been out on loan gaining experience in his natural position. 2

I'd actually not be adverse to him playing left wing rather than CB as you look at the current set up and we are playing players out of position in the wide forward roles. George Thomas is also seemingly being deployed as a 3rd central midfielder after stints in the professional game at right wing and as a number 10. 1

I get the idea we tried, since we were playing him at LB at the start of the season while the loan window was open, but no one came in. He looks good but mainly when attacking. Playing him on the wing would be a good shout as Ric said.

davieG Posted 20 September 2019 Posted 20 September 2019 Tonight's #lcfcu23s line-up has been confirmed! 🔵 City: Johansson; Clark, Johnson, Ughelumba, L. Thomas; Dewsbury-Hall, G. Thomas, Leshabela; Wright, Hirst, Muskwe. We're live on LCFC.com/tv from 6:45pm 👍
Ric Flair Posted 20 September 2019 Posted 20 September 2019 I'm assuming Wright isn't in the starting XI and on the bench. Regbha must have picked up a knock or suspension?

sacreblueits442 Posted 20 September 2019 Posted 20 September 2019 ...if you are going to press, you have to do it together!!! Absolutely shocking sitting off allowing the ball into midfield.

sacreblueits442 Posted 20 September 2019 Posted 20 September 2019 ...we need someone to carry the ball forward.....Dewsbury Hall is the one who is in the position to do this, but he needs to take a chance. He has the skill, just does not use it!!!

The whole academy needs a massive shake up given our supposed ambitions and this new elite training ground. Tavares has been fcuked straight back to the U18's and by all accounts has been far too good for that level this season. Fitzhugh and Pennant although only 16/17 I'd be giving them some U23 games too. 1
