[Albion] Jack Hinshelwood [9/4/24: new deal to 2028]

[Bozza]

Having just watched the replay, I'm pretty sure young Jack mouthed "That one was for Dwayne", as he slid on his knees towards his adoring fans.

Lovely touch.

Yet to assist a goal this season. He needs to keep getting in the box more often as his heading is unbelievably good.

How many goals or assists did Groß get when filling in at fullback?

We can have a friendly bet on whether he makes 20+ starts for Brighton in the epl if you want ?

14 starts now, 6 to go and FH doesn't look like dropping him soon. Can't be many Academy players who have 4 goals for us in their first 18 EPL appearances; Ferguson probably, but he didn't do it mainly from positions in defence. He's one of three teenagers to get a goal in the division so far this season. One of the others is that young Argentinian that Leicester have picked up from somewhere on loan.

I'd expect you may end up being very pleased to have your prediction proved wrong. He's a kid, he will face challenges, there are no guarantees, but he was the second youngest in England's recent U21 squad https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/england-u21/startseite/verein/9565 and today's goal means that nobody in that squad has more EPL goals than JH. Not James McAtee, not Elliot Anderson, not Morgan Rogers, not Liam Delap, not even generational talent Adam Wharton . Of that squad, only Harvey Elliott has scored as many EPL goals as Jack. He's scored his 4 in 59 more appearances than it's taken Hinshelwood. He's been playing in attacking positions...... for Liverpool.

If Hinshelwood continues his trajectory, he could be something very special, some kind of cross between Lewis Dunk and Pascal Gross. Please keep talking him down though. It took eight years for football to notice that Pascal was quietly one of the most effective players in World football. It would be good to keep this one under wraps too.
