ZiggaZaggaAthletic Posted November 21, 2012 Share Posted November 21, 2012 At 17 and younger than me, does anyone think we have a real gem of a player coming up through the ranks.. Ive not seen the fella play so please give a review of how he has, but dickov is always praising him and so are the commentators on Latics Player by saying he is always putting pressure down the wing and causing defences problems.. Also this guy has 6 apps for us so what contract is he on? Possible big buck scholar???? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oafcmetty Posted November 21, 2012 Share Posted November 21, 2012 Nah. He's ok but if he was that good he'd have moved up already. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldhamandy1 Posted November 21, 2012 Share Posted November 21, 2012 About same level has Hughes, will be a decent player though and if we keep the group of up and coming players together we could do something pretty big. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoshOWTB Posted November 21, 2012 Share Posted November 21, 2012 He's our brightest prospect since Mellor! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HarryBosch Posted November 21, 2012 Share Posted November 21, 2012 He's got better every time i've seen him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leeslover Posted November 21, 2012 Share Posted November 21, 2012 Don't think I've seen him (he my have come on at York but I couldn't really see that day), just spotted that he is nearly 6 foot tall and could still grow, he should gain a lot of strength and some more speed as well, he could be a right big powerful bastard in a couple of years.

Is he really? He strikes me as a bit of short, squat player?? Plus - he'd be 7ft3" if he wasn't so bow-legged - he couldn't trap 17 pigs in a ginell. As for ability. I've only seen him play 1 x 90min game for the youths - all the other times I've seen him, it's been 5 mins here; 10 mins there - again; a al Matt Smith - usually when we're chasing the game too. I do think he looks a decent prospect though - pace and the "winger mentality" to look to beat his man on the outside and get a ball in. As for Connor Hughes - not sure where he's gone (Injured?) - but he looked to be the best crosser of the ball at the club; lovely delivery on him.

NewBlue Posted November 21, 2012 Share Posted November 21, 2012 Put bluntly, I don't think there's anything to get excited over. Will be a workhorse, will run to the by-line and try to cross everytime, will play directly but he hasn't got that ability to score a brilliant goal like Taylor did. 17 years old and I'd love to be wrong about his prospects, he's got the physique and attitude but whether he has the talent is another matter. Although, to judge him properly I'd like to see him play 60 minutes + in the first team, which might happen this weekend due to Montano's absence.

Taylor was about 19 at debut wasn't he, and I seem to recall him score to save his life for quite a while! Time will tell, if he gets 10 games this season then we might start to think about where he is at IMO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oh Heck C-Beck Posted November 21, 2012 Share Posted November 21, 2012 I can still remember Taylor's debut - you could tell he was going to be a good player. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iamjonesyyoafc Posted November 21, 2012 Share Posted November 21, 2012 I think he's a good prospect me, looked good when he's come on for the first side. Started in the FA Youth Cup v Coventry tonight I think aswell, seems very enthusiastic. layed the ball back to Wabara to cross for Smith's consolation on Saturday and according to BBC won the penalty last night.

opinions4u Posted November 21, 2012 Share Posted November 21, 2012 Played 90 minutes for the yoofs tonight. Got a couple of decent crosses in. We lost 2-0 though. Scouts from Liverpool and Leeds watching. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sykelatic1 Posted November 21, 2012 Share Posted November 21, 2012 No way is sutherland 6ft tall! Christ he can only be about 5 ft 7 ish! - small and nippy winger! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
