James54De Posted August 3, 2021 Report Share Posted August 3, 2021 Is it fair to assume that he is not being included in the first team reckoning because of his contract situation. Seems to be, statistically, superior to both Bell and Conway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
View from the Dolman Posted August 3, 2021 Report Share Posted August 3, 2021 Presumably he's somewhat behind in fitness having only just returned from injury. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surely NP likes a striker like Jamie Vardy - someone who can put the ball in the net - Vardy is definitely not in the ‘big’ category! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you really think he’s trying to use similar tactics to what he used a Leicester? Not much suggests he is. At LCFC he also had Ulloa, Kane (on loan), Chris Wood, Paul Gallagher, Nugent. His top scorers over the three season at Leicester were Ulloa and Nugent (x2) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Indeed he did. I’m thinking more about him doing it consistently and being “robust enough” fitness wise. He may be able to do it with his eyes closed, I was just thinking of reasons why he might not be included at the moment. personally, I’d like to see him get a loan and “play 40 leagues games on the spin”.

Don’t think we’ve got the time for a development loan. He’s out of contract at the end of this season with many championship clubs, and a couple of Orem clubs rumoured to be looking at him. He’s almost certainly got a contract at a good level if he were to leave. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shuffle Posted August 3, 2021 Report Share Posted August 3, 2021 Was told by someone with links to the u23s that in his words Louis is a funny one. Said that tactically & technically he’s considered to be behind due to late entry into the Academy & whilst not blessed with pace he always scores. I’ll take the last characteristic above the others as goals are what his job is. Found it strange his contract wasn’t extended with the others as surely we need him on a deal. Get him on a longer deal as fear his leaving could bite us on the ass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CTRed Posted August 3, 2021 Report Share Posted August 3, 2021 Got to say he’s nowhere near the first team on tonight’s showing. Yes, he scored but didn’t really impact the game in any other way. As a young player here you probably need to do a lot more to get in to the reckoning Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bell is a lot more versatile and can play across the front 3. Conway is a lot more dynamic and athletic than Britton. Britton is not mobile enough for me.

Thought Bell showed up well on Saturday - certainly staked a claim for further involvement. Not seen much of Conway myself. Disappointing Britton has effectively missed pre season as it would’ve been good to see if he could push on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Get him on a longer deal as fear his leaving could bite us on the ass. Was going to say something along these lines. Britton has clearer potential but I had also seen somewhere that he was considered to be a bit behind Bell and Conway tactically. But, if the interest of bigger clubs is genuine, it puts us in a tricky position. We don’t want to play someone who is not ready but we don’t want to lose a future talent. I have no idea of the solution but he looked great on his one performance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
