Watched the stream on Saturday and he was decent. Hassell speaks highly of him in the latest follow video. Very much worth a watch for anyone that's into what's happening at the youth/23 level and more. https://www.barnsleyfc.co.uk/ifollow/latest-videos/
Did you have to pay mate. I couldn't be arsed to download the app. As I'd only got back home after half time. Mrs dragged me out for the day stamping and screaming. ( me, not her )
ha. The match on Saturday you did. Hopefully get down to watch an u18 match next season. Seems they might have a few decent players coming through.
Some of the goals in the Bobby Hassell interview clip are insane. Hopefully he'll continue to develop and we'll get to see at least a couple of seasons with him in the first team before he inevitably gets sold.
I think that rule needs to change to stop clubs like ourselves missing out on good young talent or putting the man hours in for nothing.
He's only 16 (year 11 at school). Presume he's signed a 2-year scholar for next season but they could give him a 1 + 3 (1 year scholar + 3 year pro from 17th birthday) if they think he's good enough. Think tom Wooster signed that sort of deal when he joined Manchester United.
The problem we have is we don't produce enough attacking players. Young lads don't grow up wanting to be the next James Bree or John Stones.
