Bainsey Posted May 8, 2021 Report Share Posted May 8, 2021 Thought he deserves his own thread. I'm absolutely delighted for the lad to get some minutes and get on the scoresheet today. I especially liked how immediately after scoring he was barging Brentford players out of the way to try and get the ball back to the centre circle as soon as possible. Desire, physicality and teamwork on show - exactly what we need more of for next season. Excited to see how he develops. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mozo Posted May 8, 2021 Report Share Posted May 8, 2021 I actually celebrated the goal despite us having lost. Initially I thought he'd underhit it but it was nicely tucked under the keeper. Britton and Conway have embarrassed Wells and Diedhiou this season by making being competitive in th Championship look straightforward. My only misgiving about LB is he doesn't look like a natural runner by any stretch. He does though give us the physicality that we lack. I was really pleased for him.

GrahamC Posted May 8, 2021 Report Share Posted May 8, 2021 Was really worried that he was going to get sent off, the Brentford CB clearly didn’t fancy facing him & had already faked one injury to get him booked. He did very well, won a lot in the air & is clearly a very different type of striker to all the other young academy lads. Good luck to him, let’s hope he works on his stamina over the close season & gives Nige something to think about in August. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davefevs Posted May 8, 2021 Report Share Posted May 8, 2021 Someone who’ll remain nameless said a few weeks back that (paraphrased) he only looks good for the u23s because he’s big….and that you need more about you to play professional / Championship football. Its only 20 minutes, but there is justification is just “waiting and seeing what happens” before judging. How many times are we so keen to write players off. Not saying Britton is gonna have a stellar career….but at least see him 4/5/6 times in a City shirt before reaching your first judgement. I still like Conway more though…..

Gazred Posted May 8, 2021 Report Share Posted May 8, 2021 I like what I've seen of him this season. I think we should try for a L1 loan next season, at least a couple of months. We have a good blend of young strikers, they all offer something different. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bcfc01 Posted May 8, 2021 Report Share Posted May 8, 2021 Said it elsewhere - in 20 minutes or so he left two Brentford players on their arse, got a booking after a rough challenge, won a few headers, and scored a goal. I like his aggression and his directness and and he seamlessly stepped from the U-23s into the Championship against a very good team and they didn't like him. Only 20 minutes but as good a debut as I've seen - a full pre-season with the first team may pay dividends. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Take a bow Louis,,you certainly did. Passion,guts, commitment & pride. He couldn't stop smiling during his interview - so heartwarming. Was I the only one to feel emotional listening to that interview? Please don't send him out on loan! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BCFCGav Posted May 8, 2021 Report Share Posted May 8, 2021 Britton falls into a tricky list of players where it’s hard to know what’s best to do with them, get them a good loan and lots of minutes or keep them with us, improving our squad and being coached just as we/Nige wants. It’s a good conundrum to have, and a mark of their undoubted talent. I’d say this applies to Scott, Britton, Bell, maybe Owura. Take it as a given that Han, Ty and Antoine certainly won’t be out on loan! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That might have been me but I did also say that he is young and can easily improve. Wouldn’t say I wrote him off! Maybe it was someone else though that you are referring too On the occasions I’ve seen him his strengths but also his weaknesses have been obvious. As I say, still time.

Finley_Smith10 Posted May 8, 2021 Report Share Posted May 8, 2021 Wonder who will go out on loan/sold out of the young forwards. Seems like imo Conway, Bell, Britton and Janneh are fighting for that 5th Striking position say if we go into next season with; New Striker, Wells, Martin, Weimann, one of them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Conway, Britton, Janneh and Bell who was very unlucky to get more game time. I didn't actually watch the game today, but going off what has been said it sounds promising. Pearson said yes to the question of playing in the team next season so I'm guessing it will be Conway and Britton so far and Bell and Janneh out on loan.

I don’t get it. For me, if we were league one with a 24 man squad made up of 15 players from the academy I would be more happy, and go to more games, than if we were top end champ/lower end Prem. Most enjoyable game this season was the under 23s v Taunton away. Got no interest in becoming a WBA or Newcastle type club Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WECANDO Posted May 8, 2021 Report Share Posted May 8, 2021 This lad has potential. He's not worried about the Brentfords and played his own game ie get stuck in, shake em up a bit, go for goals. When his season ends, give him some weeks off to recover but get him back early for the 2 x exEngland coaches to work on him. That's his speed, his positional play and skill st putting the ball in the net. Should be ready for the new season then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could not get in Stockport's side earlier in the season in the National League. But he might have improved a bit since then. I think the Stockport thing was more down to Gannon playing his favourites even though they weren`t performing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dynamite Red Posted May 8, 2021 Report Share Posted May 8, 2021 I really like him, very different to what we have in the squad, would like him on a longer deal plus a league season loan for his own development. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
