the younger players have come on a lot in last 3/4 month since they last trained with first team. says hes really impressed with clicker (Jordan Clark) and hes having to hold Digby back because hes still only 17. Also happy with Stones and Rose. Steades learning.
Hopefully they will get a fair chance in pre-season to try and win a place in the team if they perform well. Would love to see them come through to be regulars, rather see them in there than the likes of Dagnall and Wiseman who probably havent got futures at the club.
i think IF any of the younger players do become regulars then it will be an attacking area. Personally i like Wiseman, and think peoeple forgot the good things he does. IF and thats a big IF we play 4231 then Clark could force is way in to the team or RNL in the centre or wide.
Could be just what we need with Butterfield gone, possibly Clarke may fit the bill to play in the 'hole'. Glad Keith seems to be impressed with him this summer as I always thought he didntvsee as much potential in him as Robins did.
I didn't forget the good things. It's just that the many bad things over-shadow them, unfortunately. But it's a new season, so I'll be hoping for more of the good things from him.
I like Wiseman and I think he will develop and become a better player but last season he was exposed defensively and as a full back his defensive game has to improve. For me Bobby is still first choice in that position.
This batch of youngsters certainly seem to have bags of potential, let's just hope they can develop into 1st teamers. would be great to have 3 or 4 in the first 11 who have come through the Academy. I can't believe Digby is only 17.
