Oluwayemi seems to be a bit of a penalty beast. Gives away a few but saves most of them!

I've said before that I swear Hugo could learn a thing or two about penalties from the academy goalies.

The club went out their way to get Parrott into Spurs so they would be silly in letting that happen if he develops in the right way the club wants.

We are shit at buying strikers so hopefully we can bring him though.

Would like to know what they will do with Roles next year if he keeps playing well until the end of the season.

I think he's ripe for a League 2 loan. He needs toughening up and League 2 teams probably aren't rolling in goalscoring midfielders.

Has to be the right club that will allow him to play his position but a loan over U23 football would be good.

Stevenage would be a good club for some of us because we could go and see how he performs but I am not aware if Stevenage would suit his style or not.

When Amos was at Stevenage they often played him in that role. Don't know if that's still the case but if so then I agree that would be a perfect placement.

what is Mukendi best position because I sill do not know yet,played CF at Fulham but did not look that great and he has played out wide before.?

RW/FW but I think they will use him as a back up RB on some occasions like the other day. I assume Tainio is injured

he did play well when he came on last week if he plays like that then we might see what he can do next year maybe because not sure if he is a starter in this current u18 team.

Do you know if Pedder can play u16 football because there was a player playing on the other pitch last week that looked like him,he was in the number 10 shirt?

Their was also a player who was not playing watching the u18s last week could have been Pedder or maybe Tainio.

I don't know the exact rules but there have been plenty of times where u18 playesr have featured for u16s. So I don't doubt that Pedder would be playing for them to get his fitness up. Incredible to think how strong this age group is, having lost the best CM of the group in Madueke, and Pedder (and Thorpe) still don't rally feature, and they were 2 of the biggest talents.

Also I was told White has trained with the first team. I don't know if it was just White or he was with a few others but he was specifically mentioned to me

Pedder is 17 so not sure how it works if anybody else knows please let me know,I do hope he is not injured and was playing.

Thorpe has change so much in such a short amount of time I did not recognize him and his profile page on the Official site looks nothing like him now,looking forward to seeing more of him if not this year then maybe next.

don't think there are any hard and fast rules from the u16s downwards, if a team wants to play a couple of over-age players then they probably just clear it with the opposition coaches first, it's not an officially regulated competition like the u18s and up.

Given how few minutes Llorente gets, would it be madness to give his spot in the squad to Parrott from now?

Also, Andros Townsend scored an absolute belter today. Him, Pritchard and the two fullbacks at Bournemouth make me just as proud of our youth system as our two Harrys.

Les Ferdinand on Gos might be interesting. Just said qpr are basically trying to produce young players to sell to keep finances afloat. Can’t remember the name of that kid they’ve got who looks useful. Eze someone ?

Don't forget Ryan Fredericks and those that went abroad to make their careers like Velkovic and Bentaleb
