Another good result for the yoof. Nice if 2 or 3 of these could step up to Championship standard...WHeN THEY aRE READY !!
That said there are plenty of players like Ahearne Grant who excel at 17 and fall away after without ever getting a chance to play first team football...maybe the pressure got to him, maybe he just was not up to it.
Always going to be tough as a striker going from being lauded in a youth team, believing the hype and having the confidence enhanced because of it to stepping up to first team and performing.
Not writing him off just saying that it is not necessarily exposure at too young an age that has affected him.
0-0 at the half. Very even game reckon one goal either way will nick it. Cook running the show. One great save each by both keepers . Grant totally lost all his confidence .
What a joke! So much for Meire's 'We can watch future premier league stars' in the games! Only if you are a scout at the U21 games. The rest of us get a few minute cameo in the Championship. Even that rubbish is lies.
