feel as if Levy stuffed the outs up this season a bit.
If he had moved Fernando, Jannsen, GKN, Sissoko quickly, it would have allowed for some more careful tweaks of the group towards.
For EG If Rose wants to leave, we should have kept Bennetts (HG for HG) and moving along Aurier would have given us a solid spot for KWP.
no one wants any of them

I’m a bit of a lurker around the youth thread, like to keep up with our academy teams and see how they are doing!

Are there any particular players that stand out a massive amount? Many that we think can make the first team??

I hear a lot of people rave about Troy Parrott? Anything anybody can tell us about him?

Parrott is definitely one of our best prospects. Just 16 already holding his own in U23 games. In theory looks to have it all to be a complete striker. Size touch awareness and decent pace. There’s obviously Skipp as well 17. Again in theory looks a complete midfielder with a bit of everything.

It's particularly hard to stomach with KWP though. He's been good to great every time he's played at RB in the first team (as I can remember, anyway). Yet Aurier, who is a walking free-kick generator, is blocking his path to the rotation spot.

Imagine being KWP though. He must be inbetween being pissed off and confused and frustrated.

If Rose goes, KWP will stay as LB back up. Not ideal for him but better than nothing.

KWP is really a right back personally have no issue with rose I think he will come good again. Right back is where we need improving.

I don’t think we need improving at right back personally, Trips is quality right back and would take some upgrading and Aurier/KWP are more than capable quality in reserve, i would like to see KWP nail down the 2nd spot behind Trips but hes young and has time on his side to do so. I think we will see a bit of him this season.

Trippier would probably be ranked in top 5 RB in world football right now. Although I’m sure some will disagree.

Brilliant free kick
but poor delivery from promising positions
against Fulham.
Like the boy but let's not get carried away.

I really hope they have a good game tonight. Onomah, Amos, Skipp, Edwards. Parrott, Eyoma. Great team!

Great to see Parrott getting fast-tracked like this. A kid that good, with that kind of drive and dedication can go all the way.
