stick him on the bench Saturday !!
He played against Athletico Madrid (1st team) last month. Could he finally be the striker who progress from our youth set-up to our 1st team?
When did we last play a teen in our starting eleven?
What has happened to Gyokeres? He played a blinder in the one u23 game and hasn't played for them since!

Sometimes I wish we'd stick someone like him - young, hungry and an unknown quantity to the opposition (and us at the mo!) - on the bench, and give him a go. Bypass the long and usually disappointing route via the U23s - bench him Coventry. DO IT DO IT!
There were a few when Dean Wilkins was manager.
These days we often throw the kids in for a Cup game. But a League game, the last teen, hmmm, my guess would be .... Abdul Razak, that midfielder we had on loan from Man City. Actually, correct that, it must be Tomori last season. He was 19.
Blimey! You're right. More recent than I thought.
Of course, the question then switches to when did we last play a teen that was 100% one of ours and I suspect you're right. Must go back to the Wilkins' era.
Get him straight in the squad - for once do something that we dont expect

He has scored 2 goals in 18 matches, at Spanish Division 3 level.
It's a no.
