Do we have any under 23 strikers that can step up this season?

Attempt at a positive thread.

Any chance that Aaron Connelly could step up? Anyone else to look out for ?

Good god no, judging his 10 mins against Barnet he was hustled off the ball far to easily he will never make the first team.

Qite a assumption based off very little viewing. FWIW I'm not suggesting we play him but the lad is 17. He's playing for the Development squad instead of the under 18's for a reason, he's scored a lot of goals at both levels. Very much one for the future.

Granted, but he did look way to slow and those Barnet defenders (league 2) were in complete control and were too big for him, he is actually not that tall is he.

I do hope he proves me wrong, but I feel he wont make the grade.

Indeed his height could be an issue, he may still grow a little who knows. Either way certainly not ready yet.

I agree with you, looks to small to make it.

I think they might have to... our toothless offensive group are a bit of a fragmented shambles at present... give Tilley a go.

This is a comedy thread right? In all my years of watching the Albion I don't think a single striker has stepped up from the under 23s since Peter Ward. Why would we suddenly find one now?

He's turned 17 this year. He's scored constantly at every level he's played, generally whilst playing one or two age groups above his peers. He was the top scorer in the entire CONTINENT in qualifying for the European U17 Championships last summer, but he's 'not going to make it' because you didn't like what you saw in his first TEN MINUTES of senior football?

Even by the knee-jerk standards on here, that's spectacular cuntery.

Yep, that's my opinion & I respect yours.

Enjoy the rest of the day
