NewBlue Posted March 15, 2015 Share Posted March 15, 2015 We've got quite a few young players that might be expected to challenge for the first team regular spots next season: Poleon, Murphy, Dieng, Turner, Brown, Coleman maybe even Philliskirk, who's 24 soon, and I'll even ask the question about Winchester because he's still only 21. How are they coming along, do they look good enough to be a starter in plans for the new manager and what can we expect of these players as their games develop? I have quite big expectations for Poleon and Dieng. Think both have now shown - in fairness, it took a while for Poleon - that they have something that can be nurtured.

BP1960 Posted March 15, 2015 Share Posted March 15, 2015 With LJ leaving a legacy of no reserve team (I hope the new manager reinstates it or at least gets the club in a competitive under 21 league) it's difficult for the youth to step up and shame for TP who is baulked in trying to progress the lads.

NJ33 Posted March 15, 2015 Share Posted March 15, 2015 I was slightly disapointed we brought in sadler, we only needed a left back for 1 game and couldnt trust truelove who is a pro and a specialist left back to play 1 game. Poor for progression Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Poor for progression Poor on Holdens part - at some point we've got to trust our young players instead of these endless loans. Sadler was steady at best and I honestly think a young hungry player would have offered more going forward. Truelove didn't even make the bench.

beag_teeets Posted March 15, 2015 Share Posted March 15, 2015 Truelove was doing some fairly intense work with Anthony White ( I think it was him) before the match, looked like some kind of fitness test as if he was making the first steps back from a serious injury.

josh_latics Posted March 20, 2015 Share Posted March 20, 2015 Jack Tuohy and Dan Byrnes offered pro contracts. Decision on Paul Tyson and Devante Jacobs to be taken next week. (people on here seem to rate both of them) George Edmondson, Callum Etches, Eddie Fulwood, Emil Tansinda, Jordache Walters and Ben Grant all released.

PeterG Posted March 21, 2015 Share Posted March 21, 2015 (edited) Poleon is :censored: cant really call him :censored:. Hes still only young and with the proper coaching has the potential to be a quality player. It wasn't that long ago I heard fans in the main stand saying the same thing about Winchester and this season everyone loves him. he needs more time.

Do enough other clubs run proper reserve teams to play competitive matches against? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NewBlue Posted March 21, 2015 Author Share Posted March 21, 2015 A bit weird that Jacobs and Tyson, who haven't yet been offered contracts, are in the squad for today yet Byrnes and Tuohy aren't. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be fair, Tyson's a keeper - if it wasn't him, it'd be a 16 year old! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NewBlue Posted March 21, 2015 Author Share Posted March 21, 2015 (edited) Maybe they have been offered contracts but are holding out for more ... The phrase used by the official makes it sound as though the decision is in the club's hands. Tyson and Jacobs have been in the squad more often than the other two. Suppose it may be purely a physical maturity thing though. Or perhaps, putting on the tin hat, a new manager will be chosen within the week and will decide on their futures...

Markspark92 Posted March 22, 2015 Share Posted March 22, 2015 Found few clips of Devante Jacobs goals on YouTube these 2 against Wigan were outstanding finishes great piece of skill to create the first one to Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NewBlue Posted March 26, 2015 Author Share Posted March 26, 2015 JCH has tweeted that Jacobs has got a pro deal here after all. Don't know about Tyson yet. When was the last time 4 kids got pro deals in the same batch? Sounds quite a lot. Credit to TP, clearly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted March 26, 2015 Share Posted March 26, 2015 I'm told that a decision on Tyson is being make in the next 24 hours. As of yet he has not been offered a deal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
