Which is, incidently, why I suggest a full change of squad strategy meaning that players coming on for games and even starting some, well in those XVIII there are at least 1-3 of those younger players.
Bennett. Edwards. Naku.
Looks shite
Better than me, which is saying a lot as I scored on average three goals a year playing in the highest of leagues in the pacific northwest as a youth. If it weren't for that torn rotator cuff, I could have been the next US great.
But seriously, he looks heavy on his feet, but I guess better than the people he is playing against. Do you know him? Are you his agent?
True, although has yet to prove it over season.
Extremely fair. I don't think he has great ball skill but his passing is good and he's strong. Again... wouldn't mind it for cup games, not someone I'd want playing against City.
Jake was way better than his career shows. So was Mason.
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.
From the way the U23s are listed, do we suspect Poch Jr is being tried out at RB?
Also, it looks like BLF was playing in midfield.

Pace maybe, but wasn't he a 400m runner as a teenager? Should have loads of stamina
I didn't know that.
Watching him, he doesn't seem to have that burst of pace to get away from an opponent,
Since he often arrives late in the box, you're probably right about the stamina. I'd need to watch him for a number of matches where he played 90 minutes to judge his overall engine and ability to keep going until the end of a match.
Onomah and Edwards had that "X factor" when they beat a player at youth level and strode away. They were good on the eye in a fashion that Roles never has been. But that doesn't mean Roles can't be a very effective player in the classic Moneyball sense.
How is the game going? Skipp doing well?
As it stands for EL
| ASSOCIATION (4) | |
| HART | 1 |
| DOHERTY | 2 |
| ALLI | 3 |
| SESSEGNON | 4 |
| CLUB TRAINED (4) | |
| ROSE | 1 |
| CCV | 2 |
| WINKS | 3 |
| KANE | 4 |
I don't think there is a snowball's that Rose will be in the EL squad so Whiteman will surely just take his slot?
That is my guess too - can't see Rose impressing JM to be a LB option.
But also assumes we get an acceptable offer for Gazzaniga, and we don't buy another top class GK for example.
Still a few things spinning round, but when they all land at end of TW most likely outcome I think is that Whiteman becomes our 4th Club trained player.
Of course its also possible that its an IT error and Whiteman was moved to first team by mistake !

Whiteman has been in the 1st team list for a while now, I believe.
Any idea when he moved there ?
