Personally I have high hopes for this lot having seen them play a lot.
We know about Nico and for me he is ready to step up in to the first team squad weekly.
The for me as mentioned Elechi should get a go with JR injured.
Sole is very impressive - he’s small, but very combative and has a very good eye for a pass. Like I said I would have thought he’d have gone to a higher placed team in the non league set up.
You have Lofthouse whose been banging on the door for the 12-18 months. I just hope he doesn’t get used as a utility player like he has been. He’s a cracking player who deserves a chance higher up the pitch.
Lopes like Lofthouse has been superb and has bulked up a lot and could handle the pro game comfortably. Technically very sound and can play across the midfield and also behind the striker. Another one who needs the chance to break through sooner rather than later.
Slavi Spasov could and should get a chance with Taylor and Winnall struggling. He’s a natural striker who’s a very good finisher and surprisingly very good in the air for his size.
Two who may be a little beyond the above but very exciting are Chambers-Parillon and Tyler Goodrham. Both been stands out at the back end of the 18’s season. Chambers-Parillon is box to box and another of a good size with a good solid range of passing.
Goodrham I love watching play, old fashioned winger who loves taking on his man but also puts in a wicked early ball. Started scoring more goals too which is never a bad thing.
Will they get a chance in our first team.
Sadly, I doubt it, as the pressure to get promoted is to high for KR to gamble - but I’d say they stand a very good chance of making it in the pro game at league level.
