I haven’t seen anything in Skipp yet that makes me think he’ll be a big player for us..... but..... he’s 18 and I trust Poch. He hasn’t done badly but he has given away possession quite a few times (though won it back a couple of times). He’s steady, works hard and he’s put a couple of good through balls in but mainly he’s safe and defensive minded, which is appreciated by Poch.
Although he’s a little underwhelming at the moment, that’s not necessarily a bad thing at this stage. We’d all like to see a kid given a chance and to do a Rooney against arsenal but wonderkids happen so rarely. The fact he’s playing games for a title chasing (?) and champions league chasing (??) team shows how confident Poch is of him. He obviously has lots of potential.
It wouldn’t surprise me to see him out on loan next season to a good club, depending on if we do any midfield business in the summer.
