Bevan Posted 13 July 2013 Share Posted 13 July 2013 Just heard from people from the leamington friendly that Cain played well and could be close to first team so from people that have seen him play, do u think he will be pushing for first team next season?

Leicester Lass Posted 13 July 2013 Share Posted 13 July 2013 I've seen him a few times for the youth lads, as well as last night, and his biggest asset is his composure on the ball. He's a very, very tidy player. If anybody from the youth set up will be on the fringes of the first team this season my money would be on it being Cain.

Dan LCFC Posted 13 July 2013 Share Posted 13 July 2013 He was pretty quiet I thought but I definitely agree that he looks very composed on the ball whenever he's involved. Out of position too last night as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LCFC FOX Posted 13 July 2013 Share Posted 13 July 2013 He could be but it will be hard for him to break through with King and James. Taft for me has the biggest opportunity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cc_star Posted 13 July 2013 Share Posted 13 July 2013 Never mind Caine... I think the strength of our development squad as a whole could make an impression on our matchday squad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danno Posted 13 July 2013 Share Posted 13 July 2013 Taft and Cain will be the next academy players in the squad I reckon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest ttfn Posted 13 July 2013 Share Posted 13 July 2013 He could be but it will be hard for him to break through with King and James. Taft for me has the biggest opportunity. If we get rid of Drinkwater and Wellens as expected then he's right on the fringes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If someone had a stinker you'd be saying can't even play well against Leamington so surely it's works both ways? Anyway, Wellens kept banging on at Pearson last year to get him involved apparently. Bright future ahead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GingerrrFox Posted 13 July 2013 Share Posted 13 July 2013 Taft will make the biggest splash for me this season. We have a clear hole at CB next to Wes who prefers to play the right side and Taft is left footed and clearly a talented footballer as well as a defender. SSL has clearly been deemed expendable by Nigel and yes it might have only been Leamington last night but for me Taft was much more impressive than Whitbread. Taft looked positive when he had the ball and refused to simply hoof it and looked to play and bring the midfield into the game and also looked strong in the air.

Leicester Lass Posted 13 July 2013 Share Posted 13 July 2013 Can't say I've been overly impressed by Taft whenever I've seen him personally. Think his size has clearly helped him out a lot at youth level. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scousefox4 Posted 13 July 2013 Share Posted 13 July 2013 I've been going on about George Taft for a few years now after watching him progress at our academy & seen him play against Germany for England u19's lovely left foot big strong & always looks to play a pass often take my dad down to belvoir drive to watch the development games & he loves watching this kid play , big future I'm the game but elsewhere I fear, the manager seems to overlook him .

Greatness_Since_1884 Posted 13 July 2013 Share Posted 13 July 2013 Taft can play LB as well can't he? If so he could definitely challenge Konch there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LCFC FOX Posted 13 July 2013 Share Posted 13 July 2013 Taft can play LB as well can't he? If so he could definitely challenge Konch there. 10x better at center half though, One thing he is not is quick and I think Pearson likes quick full backs. Taft is made to be the perfect center half Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jimmy Posted 13 July 2013 Share Posted 13 July 2013 we only have 2 CB's 3 iff you count Moore but I'm sure bert or someone else said he saw himself/the club saw him as a right back so Taft has a big chance this season with FFP coming in given Whitbread's injury record Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
