I really really want a striker called Slavi Spasov banging them in for us every week
I assume that the club are looking after him physically. He isn't even 17 yet and even Callum had to bulk up when he was a little older to start making a real impact.
hopefully hes saving that for his first team league debutBad luck he missed his hat trick
Yes wasn't it almost unbelievable how much he bulked up in one 3 month close season.
It must have been a big shot in the arm for him to have developed so quickly at such a fortunate time
Strangely Spasov didnt stand out particularly, except of course for the goals.
Sorry, twin brotherSlavi Spasov
Good news.WEnt to see this game last night and was really impressed with not only most of the players, but the style of football that they were playing - this was certainly not the hoof and chase that I seem to remember from times gone by.
STandouts for me were: Viktor Milton in defence (solid, comfortable taking it forward, McCreadie and Chambers in midfield (some wonderful crossfield balls to the widemen), Lofthouse wide right (very tricky winger), Owen James (lot of effort up front before going off with a knock), Sampford at right back (energy and overlapping for fun). Strangely Spasov didnt stand out particularly, except of course for the goals.
Much credit to Leon blackmore & Chris Hackett for getting them playing the right way, and top of the league

Indeed, credit to many for reviving the whole youth/devs aspect after it tailed off under DEGood news.
Credit to many in the club I would have thought from Dan Harris to Tiger to KR and as you rightly state the 2 coaches.
I would imagine that the way that we play would come from KR (playing from the back, not holding etc??) I stand to be corrected if anybody knows.
That's interesting. Have you seen him much?Would love to see Owen James get a little run out with the first team this season. From what I’ve seen he’s not that far away.

It appeared to me that Lopez and Spasov had overtaken him a little. Is that not what you have seen (I am only taking this from reports and comments from the club)
I've heard favorable things about Little (who is currently farmed out) as wellI think a couple of them need a little work on their final ball, to go with their energy and touch, but they are still young and that will surely come in time. Perhaps that is why Spasov has got the nod so far, as he seems a little more clinical right now. Lopez is still out injured, while Bradley and Napa are out on loan until January. It will be interesting to see which of them kicks on first.
Also, it is not just the strikers that are coming through - Heap, Hopkins (now on loan) have been in squads and there are a few defenders doing well in the 23s as well as those I mentioned in the 18s.
As always, probably only a couple will actually make it, but it feels that there is more depth for them to come from than there has been for a while.
The U23s need some sort of competition though, a league or cup. I'd like to see them but they don't even have a fixture list.
Ok, yes, the Premier League Cup, but it's arranged in stages, so there's no fixture list. You have to spot the fixtures when they come out on Twatter or Farcebok.They are in a cup, Premier League Trophy or some such.
