George Taft potentially in contention for squad against Forest

Recommended Posts

My sister 'knows' him really well and said they spoke earlier..

I scoffed at the idea as it would seems this would be too soon and thought my sister was talking BS; however on reflection

- after the iclusion of Liam Moore and Tom Kennedy NP has the balls

- Plus with SSL and Sol not in contention and Tunch not fully fit we are thin on the ground

I have heard rave reviews about him but i'd guess he would be in the match day squad if anything.

Perhaps something Sven should have been doing from time to time rather than getting Internationals (SSL) into the club limiting to warm the bench - counterproductive

Good for him.

We won't get to see a lot of the youngsters much for a few years with the money sloshing around so its testament to some of these lads that they are getting a look in.

Whether its testament to their ability or just to their attitude, is hard to say, as we know NP values hardworking, professional players.

Best of luck to him if he gets his chance. Lets hope he's not overwhelmed and that he puts in a good performance and enjoys himself. Must be a great feeling for the lad.

7 subs tomorow as well I think.

Put this on the pre-match thread, this thread seems more appropriate. We appear to be very short of CB's for tomorrow.

Assuming Bamba out (African Nations Cup), SSL out (transfer-listed), Tunch not certain to be fit.

If Tunch is fit then surely he & Mills will be at CB, and Taft on bench.

If Tunch not fit then Mills & Taft at CB.

Only viable alternative for CB I can see is Peltier - if fit - and Moore continuing at RB. Unless Berner?

Someone suggested Abe as an alternative for RB but I think that would leave us very short of midfielders. Maybe I should have written "even shorter of midfielders". Maybe chance for Moussa?

Didn't realise he played for Derby before us. My mate who lives on my street used to play with him at Derby, that's where my mutual friend with Taft comes from on Facebook.

I could see Pearson doing this though, especially with us being short of centre backs tomorow and the two teams being able to select 7 subs. I am pleased Pearson is giving the younger players a chance though, I hear Taft has been playing well, along with other players of course.

Was in the year below me at School. Decent player, also has a Rory Delap esque throw.

Ha - I have relatives in Leicester - Longslade in Birstall?

Wasn't he smashing Mattock's sister at some point?

Smashing each others sisters is common in Birstall. Along with shit Fish and chip shops.

Great news ive been harking on about this young lad for a long time now , i have been to the last 2 reserve games at belvoir drive & Taft looked outstanding in both , this boy must be at least 6ft 6" tall with a lovely left foot , like Liam Moore its absolutely fantastic to see young talented players at our club breaking through , both born & bred in Leicester i believe ,even better

I met his dad at a wedding a couple of years ago, he's tall too.
