What happened to Josh King? No longer with us or injured, i thought with a couple good loans he would have an outside chance of making it here.

Another long term ( ish ) injury 

[st albans fox]

Braybrooke looked good in that highlights video

presumably had extra space with their early s off but would love to see him kick on 

 

given that he’s not involved with the first team I suppose that’s unlikely 

 

 

[Jimmy]

wtf was their keeper doing? 

[Stadt]

I’d like to see Braybrooke get 20 minutes. Sorry to repeat this phrase again but if he put in some of the performances Skipp/Soumare have - people would say they’ll never make it.

Hopefully Sammy gets a loan move tomorrow

if there's truth in the Bouba move does he become 3rd choice there? I don't think we have many options for that role left in the older group of U21s do we?

[Jimmy]

is Popov injured as well, don't remember seeing his name in any pre season squad or U21 games this season?

He played vs Braintree but not been the squads since 

[Jimmy]

wonder if Opoku's loan will move Hutchinson up?

Hopefully we get a few more loans announced in the next hour or so as just 4 academy players is very disappointing

Braybrooke was supposedly off somewhere but not heard owt.

[Noahfence]

Be disappointed if Braybrooke is stuck playing u21football

Would have been good to get Golding out on loan.

Hopefully him and Briggs go on loan to Leuven

[Lesta2014]

Surprised cover and Marcel haven’t gone on loan/left yet.

Did Cover play RB at Port Vale? Maybe kept with one eye on Riccy’s fitness

[Aleksz]

@ramadaone @Holly B Can you guys share any insight on Hugo De Lisle as a player? I see he’s been called up for an England youth squad again. Another to keep an eye out for?

 

Also, is it odd that Lorenz Hutchinson hasn’t had any international recognition yet considering the rate in which he’s banged them in over the last 12 months?

Looks like a free kick specialist. Part of our youth cup winning team alongside Monga, Page and Evans but looks to be less developed physically than them.
