Apologies thought it was a two year deal, but it was a three year. Oh well, perhaps he'll go out on loan next year. Does need to kick on this year though......
I think you're right.
The younger players 16-19 will benefit from these type of games, but the real development is in playing senior football and the physicality and pace that comes with it.
I am surprised that Tilley hasn't gone out and as I believe AZ Gull said at the start of the season...
Yes, but given our lack of 4th immediate CB (though we could have got a free agent), and the fact he is over 21, do you think it is a 'needs must'?
Did okay versus Southampton though, but I think longer term is behind White in the pecking order for example.
It is interesting though, and I do...
I understand what you are saying but it remains a massive step from U23 football, to a game against a fellow PL club, with seasoned professionals.
I really hope he makes it, and it is positive that he seems to be training with the first team as does Barclay.
