Get him in the first team

[Smooch85]

With marson in goal, would that mean Donohue will be on the bench Saturday with basour also out injured?

Donohue has probably travelled as the 3rd keeper with Begovic starting and Vieites on the bench

Would seem that way.

 

Considering we've made a switch to 3 at the back and he's our only natural wing back it would make sense that he's going to get his chance soon.

Have we, I thought we played Okoli at RB.

Shame for him we have Daka and Carranza in such fine form. Got a crazy feeling one of them might have an effort on target tomorrow, though maybe during the warm up.

You’d have to say Motsi is well on course to become our youngest ever player, not got ages to work with before he passes that deadline though.

Spooky how he, Monga and Page all are 10th and 11th July 2010, 2009, 2008 respectively. I only clocked that as my birthday is the 10th July haha.

Rough maths but think he’d had to make a debut within 4/5 months to beat Ashley Chambers. Not that I’d back Marti to find the balls to do that

No

Motsi is just ridiculous, how is he scoring at u21 level as a 15 year old midfielder.

I love the idea of a youth player being called Darren 

[Ric Flair]

The talent we are producing is the only ray of light, that is why some of us are so relentless at demanding we prioritise academy development.

 

Still gutted we lost Nyoni too.

[Noahfence]

How often do you get 15 year olds at u21 level?
