Popular Post BCFC Rich Posted August 31, 2023 Popular Post Report Share Posted August 31, 2023 A detail lost a little in all the other discussions from NP's press conference. Congratulations to him, great to see BCFC academy players getting to this level - Obviously not fully called up, but clearly in the minds of the setup. The academy at least I think we can all can agree is turning into a big success story. 13 3 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bcfc01 Posted August 31, 2023 Report Share Posted August 31, 2023 Surprised tbh. But its a nice bit of recognition for him, should give him a lift, he's not looked at his best so far (certainly at home games). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He might fit in at age level against blokes his own size as hes like a small boy playing 1st team. Cant be that bad though if hes almost got a call up, so be interesting to see if he gets in.

Henry Posted August 31, 2023 Report Share Posted August 31, 2023 Very surprised he’s skipped straight to the u21s. good luck to him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bristol Rob Posted August 31, 2023 Report Share Posted August 31, 2023 Where is this/the squad reported, had a quick Google and couldn't see anything. Not doubting the original poster, just wondered who needed to drop out for him to get the nod. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Considering he’ll be 22 in May I am not. More surprised he is even mentioned in the same breathe as England u21s. I just don’t see it with Bell. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's got down that wing and delivered some excellent balls into the box, but just no one there to convert them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
petehinton Posted August 31, 2023 Report Share Posted August 31, 2023 But isn’t good enough and needs to be loaned out to L1 according to some unreal belly. And well deserved. Huge accolade to even be in the picture given the quality in our younger age groups at a national level. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty poor when needs to go by a defender. Maybe he grows into it but I don’t see him being championship standard. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silvio Dante Posted August 31, 2023 Report Share Posted August 31, 2023 I can only assume the standby list includes 7,209,387 people. More seriously, he’s been poor this season. Nobody watching him would see an England age group player, but bear in mind Henderson gets picked for the seniors despite being in a pub league and Maguire/Phillips despite sitting on their arses. Nothing against him, but the evidence of my eyes suggests he’s lucky to be in the conversation to start in our side let alone be in the conversation for one of the best U21 attackers in the country.

TBW Posted August 31, 2023 Report Share Posted August 31, 2023 Where's the squad been announced? Can't find it anywhere. Is this not above any level Alex Scott has played for England? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is this not above any level Alex Scott has played for England? Yes but a) he’s on standby not in the squad & b) Alex would very likely have made this squad if he had stayed fit. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cardy Posted August 31, 2023 Report Share Posted August 31, 2023 So Bell is now also worth about £25m aswell?! This is going to be one hell of a nest egg for old Stevie Boy!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
