Seen Harper play a few games....I wish he was so much better as he seems to have alot to live up to with 'Kid from Madrid' pressure but he's def not one for our 1st team.
Not seen any of the games but it's not that easy for a goalkeeper to shine if his defense aren't good enough.
I am more interested in seeing Hambo, he seems to be the invisible man,... the clips I saw told me he was very much an Ulloa type striker,.... its a real shame he is suffering from injuries,.... at least that is what they are saying.Plenty of time for him yet! I don't think we were ever going to see him in the 1st team this season anyway.
Don't forget he has had a long injury layoff, and he is very much one for the future, not the present.

But isnt that just the time for the keeper to shine, if the defence was excellent then he wouldnt have a shot to save ....................
I know it's a totally absurd comparison to make, but Molumby reminds me of a young Steven Gerrard. Thought he was excellent tonight, particularly first half.
Dare I ask the question.............. Is it time our dev squad/u18's had a more notable coaching team?.... spend big on someone with a track record of recruiting and training future stars.?
I've seen Molumby a few times now and I agree - extremely promising. Tilley is very good and Dallison is clearly of the 'Brighton School' of central defenders - Dunkesque and I think has a future (although whether it will be with us who knows?).
Do we have a poor record in recruiting and training new players? I think that most players taken on by academies up and down the country fail to make the grade as professional players. We currently have four ex-academy players playing Championship football (if we include the injured March) and that's not counting Ince. Is that a terrible record?
have no idea BTW, I've never seen detailed statistics for clubs' academies but my gut feeling is that we're not particularly better or worse than other teams. Where we do fail is in finding strikers but I don't think our youth set-up, as a whole, is a poor one
It's like the Bermuda Triangle,.... promising wonder kids come in, never to be seen again.Do we have a poor record in recruiting and training new players?

Oh its true,......But that's not true is it? We do bring players through the youth system. What I don't know is whether we're better or worse than other clubs - my guess is that we're pretty average but I really have no idea how accurate that guess is
Not necessarily, if attackers keep being given too much freedom to shoot then it doesn't matter how good you are you will concede goals.

Despite your assertion, it isn't.
Tilley and Molumby are 17 and 16, respectively. You also mentioned Mar Larusson, who is 18.
Rea & Walton have been out on loan to the division below.
Jake's played 80 times for us. As has Rohan. Dunk's a future captain. Solly's a future England prospect.
You're wrong.
