Harry Posted May 1, 2021 Report Share Posted May 1, 2021 Excellent. Look forward to seeing so much more of this lad. First time since Pack left that I’ve seen a midfielder want the ball all the time, position himself to be available for the ball all the time, happy to receive the ball facing his own goal and remain composed, and able to play 5 and 10 yard passes at the right weight to give the recipient immediate options. I like this lad. First name on the team sheet for me next week. Give him the start and see what he can do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

More generally, I think we may have the best crop of young players coming through since Alan Dicks' days. We need to get shot of those experienced players most likely to poison the well with their awful examples and bring in a couple of leaders to help nurture them.

Davefevs Posted May 1, 2021 Report Share Posted May 1, 2021 No word of a lie, but Massengo (19), Conway (18) and Scott (17) put most of the senior players to shame today. Wells and Lansbury excused. The rest not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cidre Monita Posted May 1, 2021 Report Share Posted May 1, 2021 Whilst the last few months have been dire , we have got to see a few young players who look like they can be part of a 22/24 player first team squad . Will need time , need experience around them to guide and support but they look hugely promising. Nige may well have them around the squad and not loan them next year . nige may not have got the current lot playing , but he clearly sees talent there and , big credit , he has played them . I think we would all love to see a team develop like that . Just need a few more professionals around them. I’ve been hugely impressed with our under 23 year olds .

Guest Posted May 1, 2021 Report Share Posted May 1, 2021 Just now, Henry said: Bristol City’s Jack Grelish Don’t let’s build the lad up too much, and he obviously borrowed Grealish’s shin pads. A very decent 45 from him, looked to play every time he got the ball, and can go past players a gift not many have. He’s got to get a start next week and is probably our most exciting prospect for some time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He had some mixed fortunes today - took his goal very well, missed one he maybe should have scored and gave the ball away which led to conceding a goal. But always wanting to be involved and moving their defenders around well. I hope he starts next game. I liked the way Scott always wanted the ball and was neat and tidy with it, couple of good runs and looked as if he belonged out there. Maybe a start for him in the last game. Massengo, well, its Massengo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is a fantastic prospect, who needs carefully nurturing. Too many young players get burnt out by playing too many games early in their career. But if he is managed correctly, the skies the limit.

Seems to have the composure and technical ability to play anywhere. Played alongside HNM in an orthodox CM position today. Hard to tell in such a short spell on the pitch but does he have the pace to play wide in a 4231 for example, great to see him gliding past players, seems to have a lot to his game and a genuine positive from an appalling team performance.

Ivorguy Posted May 1, 2021 Report Share Posted May 1, 2021 These young players, given three years inChampionship, dare one hope, may be the first real deal since the Alan Dicks team. Here’s trusting Nige. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didn't really see much in Szmodics on the odd occasion we saw him. He ran around a lot but not a lot else. It'll be interesting to see how he does when they come up. Palmer's a waster.

The absolute shambles has at least given young players the chance for game time. By and large they have taken their chances well and one or two have shown up more experienced team mates. While I don't expent NP to build his team around the youngsters, they will have done their chances of being in and around the first team no harm. Perhaps this has been the only glimmer of hope from what otherwise has been a dismal season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
