Mason was a great prospect, with a great attitude to work and self improvement. If he hadn't been unfortunately injured setting up the winner that kickstarted our 2016 season (3 draws and a loss in 4, even loyalists were saying Poch needed to get a grip), then I think he could have been a regular starter and England International.
JL I haven't kept a track of since leaving but he really didn't show much while here imo.
Oh, they weren't world beaters. I do agree.
But as we talked about in the youth thread, they need not be. They just needed to be as good as our players presently bulking up the last 6-5-4 places in the 25 man squad.
