I'm sure he will. I just don't like it. The longer the same keeper has on the pitch with all the combinations of defenders the better imo. But I don't have to keep everyone happy!

I would stick with the defence, twist with the attack

Ed Turns turns (!) 22 in a month and already has around 2500 minutes of EFL football. He is not going to get a lot from playing in the U21s, its too much of a step backwards. I think the only reason he's not on loan is because he was probably injured during the xfer window or pre-season. Unfortunate situation for him and I expect him to leave (on loan but wouldn't rule out permanently) in January.

Not all paths to success are linear. Viktor Gyokeres has changed my world view! I do believe that it's possible playing for our u21s/u23s and training at our Elite complex might have a more positive impact on him than being at a lower league club. Every player is different. At this point, I think it's unlikely he's going to be a player for us but he could have a good career in the game and I hope he does turn out to be a late bloomer like Gyokeres. Maybe the right deal wasn't available in the summer but will be in January, alternatively he could spend the full season here.

Love to see Howell given a chance
Played yesterday so ain't happening
He played 90 + 3 minutes last night, so that's not happening.

he's very good at pens too
Thank goodness! He may be a fine young player, but I don't want to hand the Vulvas a place in the next round like we did to Villa with a chronically under-aged team three or four years ago!

I assume you didn't watch the BSM Trophy match last night then.

Indeed, I can only assume he is still with us because he was apparently recovering from injury during pre-season. His presence in the squad now is only going to restrict the opportunities for the likes of Freddie Simmonds, Jacob Vickers and Charlie Penman (and for that reason I can't imagine he'll be a frequent starter for the U-21s for the rest of this calendar year).

No, I didn't. But I also don't judge a player on one match.
