Think i was it here - may have misread. If you go on the “Is in a good national youth team, should do well” metric then Luke Thomas, Hirst and Eppiah look promising. They'll be able to go out on loan this month until the end of the season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess that will all depend on how much Beaglehole wants to win the PL2 title and whether he is prepared to listen to Rodgers advice about development rather than winning...?!? Luke Thomas looks a fine prospect BUT Eppiah is possibly the most talented of all in that group who has excelled in every single age group. Last 3-4 years his career has been ravaged by long-term injuries but if he can rediscover his old form and pace and stay injury free, im convinced he is the one who can step up and excel at the highest level...! 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I recall that Ughelumba has switched from LB to CB for the u23s recently, and it seems to be going great for him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shane Posted 16 January 2020 Share Posted 16 January 2020 Really hope Ughelumba gets a chance. Been learning to play CB this year, so he’s another player who is versatile. However, if he does get a chance I hope it’s at LB or LWB. His natural physicality would translate to the PL very well I think. Got a decent cross too. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have the best striker in the division and a back up with the best goals and assists ratio. Play them out of position shall we? Brilliant. I agree, I wouldn't choose anybody in the U23's for the first squad. The only players that remotely stood out for me were Johansson/Thomas/Dewsbury--Hall/Hirst. I like Hirst, reminds me of Harry Kane, but he lacks speed even though his skill in excellent. Ps. Does anyone else think that Micky Adam's commentary in the U23's is dreadful? Hope you don't mind me joining you on this topic. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mitch Clark and the two left backs Thomas and Calvin Ughelumba have looked good as well but even James Justin can barely get a game for us so how can they be considered. It's a real shame there's no wide players in the U23's, there are a couple in the U18's in Pennant, Arlott-John and Fitzhugh that i'd have hoped would have been promoted to the U23's this season but the progression is so slow under Beaglehole. Micky Adams and Sean St Ledger as commentators are awful. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Muskwe, Eppiah and Regbha often play out wide. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeffschlupp Posted 17 January 2020 Share Posted 17 January 2020 No Muskwe, Johnson or Hirst in tonight's squad - loans pending? Hirst has been linked with Rotherham but wasn't in Monday's squad vs. Brighton either, so he may just be injured? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ric Flair Posted 17 January 2020 Share Posted 17 January 2020 Pennant looking quite lively, usually plays wide left for the U18's but playing more on the right and cutting in on to his left foot. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
