Today was only his second game for the development squad wasn't it?, and after a long injury lay off.
So no, I don't think he will be properly risked for the 1st team squad until next season.
He's featured in the last 8 games for the u21s

Our bench was quite weak last week. Hopefully he could feature soon.

Got to be worth a place on the bench. Our bench on Saturday was too defensive. Just Bobby and Manu , who seems to be last resort. Amazed Harper or Tilley was not given a place.

I saw the under 21s against the arse, and thought Tilly was very good, Harper not so much

Even if this was correct, why would it take a further 8 months before he'd be considered on the bench?

Not sure he was on fire - played well but helped by a keeper who kept pushing the ball out when saving. Tilly impressed me - he looked like a stronger March and got a decent cross on every time. Without a teamsheet, I had to go on player's calls to pick up who was who and had Harper down as the 8 for a while when he was actually 10. Very pleased as the 8 was average whereas the 10 was lively.
After that, I watched him closely and he seemed very assured and had a good game but didn't look head and shoulders above a pretty poor Fulham side. Was blowing a bit but lasted the game and was encouraging to watch. First time I have seen the U21s for quite a few years and the standard wasn't as high as I imagined but horrendous weather played a big part. Our right back had a shocker and the keeper overplayed and played defenders into trouble more than Stockdale.
They seem to play the same as the front side - lots of possession with quick balls into the channel/outside to the wings with fluid 4-4-2 with rotating midfielders and full backs pushing on whilst covered by CMs. Fulham had probably 4 attacks and scored 3 - the first a woeful back pass. We tested their keeper a few times but no great saves.
