Could he be a surprise on the bench v Brum?

Isn't he in the U18s team?

Why not? If he can run about and harry their defenders he's already contributed more than Akpom did on Saturday

He is technically, but has been playing U23 matches for some time now. He's good enough.
He can definitely do that. He's only (just) 17, but he's seemingly a quick, strong lad, likened to Rooney at that age (in terms of physical development).
Interesting BG. I like your thinking here. He could be a good un. I remember going to the reserve league games regularly when Wardy was knocking them in, then witnessing his debut at Hereford, scoring after about 90 seconds only for that cheating t*at Dixie McNeil (think that was his name) sliding in then putting the ball in our net with his outstretched hand, wan*er. You never know he may be a diamond find or a disappointment, only one way to find out.

From the limited play I've seen he reminded me of Peter Ward...

More likely left out or injured in my opinion.
No Connolly, no (goal) party.

Swansea are miles ahead at the top of the Prem 2 league so a win today would be a bit of a shock , especially without the wonderkid .

Shame, cant help but think this increases Connolly's status, expect he came back injured from ROI duty rather than anything else though.
Hughton doesn't seem the sort to put a 17 year old on the bench in an important game.

I think its unlikely. Hasn't been that regular in the U23's has he? Although I believe he's done well when picked.
Is only 17, and Hughton has generally been reluctant to give any youngsters a go, even the 19/20 yo's. Therefore wouldn't have thought so, as much as i'd like to see it.

If you're good enough you're old enough as they say , Fulham slung 16 year old Ryan Sessegnon in at the deep end a while ago now and that's going pretty well .
