Of our current youngsters, who do we think will be able to cut it at a high level

if we could swing a transfer for mannone and evans and get a left back in during the summer we would have a brilliant young core 11 that would be the basis of our team for the next few years

gk-mannone
Dr- Rosenoir
Dc- cooper
DC- chester
dl- (needed)
Mr- devitt
Mc- evans
Mc- cairney
ml- stewart
fc- fryatt
fc- cullen

 

Chester - Reads the game well, good technically, very atheletic, lots of experience for age. Will go far (may find himself at LB at a premiership club though). We stole this lad
Stewart - Quick, good technique and ability, needs to work on judgement, at times runs at defenders when whipping a ball in could be better option. Will fit in well in a mid table premership club in future
Cooper - Decent no nonsence defender, very composed for his age, a run of games at lower level that he is getting now will no doubt help him, could be a decent mid table Premiership CB
Cairney - Has quality and vision but needs to work on his drive and desire. Reports of been a poor trainer are not good, if he trains hard and had say Marneys fitness levels he would be a high quality premiership midfielder
Devitt - Decent enough, good on ball, decent delivery and good workrate, needs to strengthen up, a lot of potential
Cullen - Natural striker, as with Cooper a run in a team will do him good, has an excellent chance to be a decent Premiership striker
Evans - This is a hard one to predict, not seen much of him but so far so good, SAF thinks highly of him so that is good enough for me.

If we can keep hold of all these players we could easily be a decent mid table premiership team, bear in mind Fryatt, Rosenior, Simpson are all young too.

Very bright future indeed

 

Like the look of that team MarkLucky7

How about Chester to LB, then bring back Moyuokolo at Cb? Wouldnt cost us too much and on low wages

 

OLM - Any chance you (or anyone esle for that matter) could give us a run down on the likes of Conner Townsend, Gavan Hoolan, Sonny Bradley and Danny Wilkinson? I dont live in Hull so very rarely get to see our youth/reserve team

 

A good judge for our strickers would be against a organised Premier club's defence see how they faye against them.

Struggled against DQPR cb's height so be interesting against the likes of Stoke in fact i'm including our mid-field in to that test.

 

Cheers OLM, sounds like a bright future then

 

Conor Townsend looks like a good prospect. He's left footed but plays all over the place, I caught the last few minutes of the juniors game against Scunny before the proper match on Saturday and he'd been moved to right back, and he was the best attacker even from there. He won a late penalty and could have had a second when the keeper wiped him out.

 

None of the above lets get rid of them and get some more Man U youngsters.

 

We have a really good young core now mixed with some experienced heads, with the right guidance and training we should go far

 

my nephew Harvey who plays for long riston juniors.. top winger, fast, brave and local.. sign him up City or give him a trial..

 

Chester, Stewart and Deviit for me, Cairney needs to toughen and speed up a bit, tends to dither too long on the ball, although a good passer of the ball and cracking left peg.

 

pretty much agree with OLM, but i would add that Ray Ford is still a kid and has time on his side and i hope, in Manny and Barmby, he has the right people around him. For what it is worth there's also a young lad called Joe Fox who looks like a strong attacking midfielder who looks promising and seems to have been eating his weetobix of late. Of course what none of us see on the pitch is attitude and i think this plays a major part in any kids development. By the way, does anyone know why half the reserve matches are now played at stupid-o-clock on a Tuesday afternoon?

 

mussie the time of reserves games only changed when we went into the prem, most reserves games are played in the afternoon.good to hear Joe fox is getting back to his best after injury. By the way reserves playing tonight away at Scunny

 

Barmby looks like he might make the grade

 

Looks like we have a good premiership team here!!!!! Bit optimistic me thinks, but I admire your optimism

 

Mark Cullen?? Give me a break! He'll be lucky to make it as a League 2 striker!!

 

Another season playing together in the Championship and I agree, they should provide the core of a decent prem team

 

What do you think to Danny Emerton Mussie? I thought he was head and shoulders above Cullen in the ressie game vs Scunny. He looked like the kid that was pushing for a place in the first team, not Cullen. I also liked the look of Dean Deagle in that game!

But I think Gavin Holohan is the one we should be looking out for! He looks a real prospect.
