What do you think his chances are of making the step up and joining Skipp in the 1st team?

in the short-term .. highly unlikely, in the long-term .. imo still unlikely but not impossible. i like eyoma but i don't think there's any area of his game that is standout. he's not slow but he's not especially quick either, he's decent on the ball but not outstandingly so, he's a solid defender but still has a lot to learn(under poch he has scope to greatly improve here though). he's also quite short for a cb, people are often surprised when i say he's only 5'11, maybe it's because he's well built or has a decent leap that people don't notice his height so much.

i didn't mean for that to read quite so negatively as overall he is a good player, i'm just not sure i see a great player in him but he could(and hopefully will) prove me wrong. i should also add that for the majority of the past two years he's been playing as a right back where he has been ok but largely unspectacular, he's only just started to consistently play at cb again so he's still finding his bearings there.

You have shocked me with this post I always had you down as a massive Eyoma fan.

i think IG is a big eyoma fan, i've always been more lukewarm on him, i was really impressed the first couple of times i saw him for england as an u16 though so that might be why you had that impression. lyons-foster is my big hope at cb, albeit he's a long way off physically at the moment.

BLF has had a stop start season because of injuries but like a lot of people on here I am a massive fan of his,one player who has impressed me a lot this year is Binks and the match at Millwall was a standout performance from him.

I am not a Eyoma fan but I do understand why people like him,his form of late has been good and what has made a big difference to him and the u23s is moving Marsh from CB to CM.

I don’t believe Eyoma is of the standard we require over the long term. But would seriously sound love him to prove me wrong.

Marsh I believe will make a good championship player, or low EPL. But does not impress me tbvh. Decent, but not spectacular. I am seriously concerned that there is nobody knocking on the door now in the final third,. Aside from our 17 year old Irish emerald. He reminds me of a 17 year old Frank Stapleton.

I know its only 1 game but I was very impressed with Jack Roles when I saw him in the Checkatrade game at Oxford. Not sure what his best position is though as he seemed to do a bit of everything.
Fingers crossed Parrott fulfils his immense potential though.
