Scored six today in the first half, wonder when he will make the first team squad, haven’t seen him play but obviously as 20 pence says knows where the onion bag is, can’t do any worse than Luke James!
This development squad is one bright thing from this season.

Watched him play twice in the development squad wide on the right of a front three and he wasnt great.
Not trying to name drop but in a conversation with dc he told me he was an off the shoulder striker not really suited to the 4-3-3 formation employed by the club at the time.
I wasnt at the game today or at the city match but maybe he is now playing in his favoured position.
Footnote,we paid a small fee to newport i believe to secure his signing.

6 goals in 23 minutes is impressive. Let's hope he kicks on and puts pressure on the first team players.

Any team that let's in 11 goals against our development side has got to be a bloody poor standard.

And that's the point, isn't it. It's all very well winning a game 11 - 0, but you have to wonder why we were playing against such lowly opposition. There's absolutely no challenge or opportunity for development in playing against a team so obviously inferior.
I would like to see this squad go up against some reserve teams from league 1 & 2. That would give a more accurate indication of where these players are, and who's worth retaining etc.

Re the post about the Sh1t showing an interest in one of these lads, I believe the agreement only concerned SENIOR players. Believe me, if those scumbags wanted one of our junior players they'd find a way around any agreement. The Rosy-Cheeked Lady Garden didn't get to be a billionaire by being a nice guy in business, and a verbal contract isn't worth the paper it's written on.

They normally play their equivalent in the Central League against the likes of Southend, MKD, Exeter, FGR. Clubs don’t seem to have “reserve” teams anymore but development squads which in our case in particular seems a huge step forward from where we were a year or two ago. |

Dunwald is under contract and I'm told Kavanagh is also. But the premis is right. If we truly rate them, and a couple of others that I won't name on here, ( don't want to give heads up to scouts from anywhere), then putting them under contract is the only way forward. But who is going to pay for it? |

Blimey! the fee has gone from a rumoured £250k to a new rovers transfer record of £375k,by january it will £500k i reckon. |

Well in the wimbledon game we played 4-4-2 with harrison/nichols up front. Is nichols that type of player? this season we have often played 4-3-3 i agree. |

I prefer us 442 I always have since dc been manager. Maybe he’d have scored loads if we’d played 442 I don’t know |
