Won't be long until Gray is knocking on the door for senior football

 

Looks physically ready for it and technically good

Faes goes in January and Gray steps up

[Ryy]

Wanyas fall off is a real shame 

[moore_94]

Alfie Fisken on for Silko Thomas

Scored that goal against Cardiff and basically disappeared from the squad even after eventually signing a new contract

 

Expect he will be released in the summer with his contract up

[moore_94]

Aluko hamstring injury 

 

*back on the pitch, hopefully he is fine

I don’t actually think he was ever that good. Always looked out of his depth I thought. 
 

Can have a decent league 1 career. 

[moore_94]

5-3 Spurs

Genuinely don’t think I’ve seen Golding do anything so far

not athletic enough, no real pace, strength or bite in him

We really did get shafted by that PSR-fvckery deal with Chelsea

 

All the good youngsters they do have and we paid £5m for someone who doesn't look that good (so far)

Personally think he’s the victim of changing positions to temporary plug a gap and sticking with it. He was always more central and then popped up for us in the wing and imo it’s knocked his development back. He’s just not got the traits to be a winger imo

It’s not his ability it’s his attitude.

I said at the time Leo Castledine would have been a better buy for £5m. At least he's a grafter.

6-3 Spurs

[Noahfence]

Been pretty poor second half

He is rubbish, within the context of our other wide options now and at the time. Shame we can’t get a small fee for him- 50 bags of ready salted would be fair now.

[moore_94]

Under 21s lose their first league game of the season

 

[Noahfence]

Neale, Gray & Aluko the standouts for me.

 

Good finish from Evans and should’ve had a second.

 

Wanya & Golding very poor imo.

For PL2 that team is ridiculous 

Seemingly not as ridiculous as spurs PL2 !!

Whenever I’ve looked at the Huddersfield forum for Alves comments they’ve been very impressed with Castledine

Were Gray and Neale with under 18s last season?  The hype around the duo seems to have came out of nowhere!
