Wonder if we'll see a lot more of the better academy players on the bench or with minutes

if we are to be competitive in terms of the championship with this transfer window, we'll need two at least making the bench whilst bulking the rest of the squad with ready made players as it'll help reduce our wages. problem is braybrooke and Alves are out till January probably, so perhaps only space for Wormleighton and maybe Maswanhise and Madivadua if deemed good enough. Here's hoping :chant:

I thought Terrell Pennant was a decent prospect?

He was considered a serious prospect at U18 level with rumours of some of the big clubs trying to sign him, but sadly he just hasn't made the step up to U21 level.

Thought theyd of got rid of the shite like Brunt. Bloke will be 23 this year and is never in a million years making it here. Appiah another Villa bum that should be gone. If you clearly arent good enough then its time to release and let the next crop have a crack, no good flogging a dead horse like this club does keeping academy players on until their 23

He still has 2 years left on his contract, thought he was decent in that Watford game but he didn't exactly shine in his other appearances, should loan him out to a League Two club this season, it isn't benefitting him hanging around on the sidelines at his age.

Brunt needs a League One loan move.

Needs releasing. Not that he's crap but he doesn't look to have that bit extra needed to be a PL/Championship player (at least not for a while). 23 later this year too. Better prospects to focus on

Riduculous contract if thats true. Was against a Watford C team. He should leave for the sake of his career if he actually wants one instead of being a grown man playing kids football

Why don't we bring him on in our biggest game away from home when we have a centre back wanted by a Champions League club on the bench?

The below all need to be loaned out for the upcoming season if they aren't going to be involved in the first team squad

 

Jakub Stolarczyk (22)

Brad Young (21)

Chituru Odunze (20)

 

Lewis Brunt (22)

Joe Wormleighton (19)

Ben Nelson (19)

 

Kasey McAteer (21)

Wanya Marcal Madivadua (20)

Tawanda Maswanhise (20)

Nathan Opoku (20)

 

Hopefully we get to see the likes of Grist, Evans, and Richards properly in the under 21s as well

These should get minutes in the first team. 

 

One or more of McAteer, Madivadua and Maswanhise could receive some coaching from Maresca and staff to make the grade. McAteer looks to have made progress more but aside from good reports I don't know how much.

 

Not sure about Wormleighton. A lot is said about him but he's never stood out for me but then I've not watches as many games as I'd like.

 

I hope Rudkin has emphasised the need to work with these players, on top of Alves and Braybrooke when fit and injury free. They should be an essential part of the club for squad depth and finances.

Got a feeling Amani Richards is going to break through in 2023/24. 

We don’t really have any striking depth in the youth sides. Won’t take a lot to stand out, our current first team options are up in the air too.

Seems like the only one out of the youth that’s taking the off season seriously. 
most have been getting smashed in Ibiza, while Armani has been bulking in the gym. Definitely the one to watch.
