Craig obviously has been around for a while and coming through the ranks but this is the first I've heard of Abbot.

Any information on him?

Versatile player. Can play right back, holding midfielder, ball winner. etc He has never been the star of the group but works hard, is a good athlete and has a terrific attitude.

Funnily enough, I have always liked Craig and Abbot. Sell Skipp and promote Craig

Following the U21s relegation this season, I understand up to 10 players from the group are set to be released.

That's a shame. Think when man u went down they did something similar so not unexpected. Hopefully some of them stay in the game.

The ones in blue are tied down to long term contracts. That leaves 10 lads who are probably on the chopping block, plus Mundle who it sadly looks like we'll lose for compensation (presuming he stays in England). I think we could well see the mahority of the lads in blue heading out on loan next year.

Tyrell Ashcroft (19)
Jamie Bowden (22)
Dante Cassanova (19)
Kallum Cesay (20)
Matthew Craig (20)
Alfie Devine (19)

Malachi Fagan-Walcott (21)
Nile John (20)
Josh Keeley (21)

Brooklyn Lyons-Foster (22)
Aaron Maguire (19)
Roshaun Mathurin (19)
Marques Muir (20)
Romain Mundle (21)
Maksim Paskotski (19)
Max Robson (20)
Yago Santiago (20)
Charlie Sayers (19)
Jude Soonsup-Bell (20)

Thanks. If we don't land a head coach and DoF next month, I can see him leaving.
I think Mundle has just had enough. From his perspective a fresh contract offer is too little too late. If we wanted him we needed to show him by giving him opportunities. Williams is probably just looking at the logjam ahead of him - Parrott, Scarlett, Soonsup-Bell as well as Donley and Lankshear and thinking that he's probably better off elsewhere where he might actually be first choice and stand a decent chance at getting on the first team bench. Our development plan for these lads is a complete joke.

With a big influx of players from the Academy and dropping a tier it makes sense to clear the decks. Bowden and Lyons-Foster would probably have left before now if not for injuries. If they stay injury free they should have decent careers. Fagan-Walcott should have suitors and Cesay will have a professional career somewhere. Muir, Robson and Mathurin have not kicked on as expected (at least Burnett doesn’t seem to have fancied them). Injuries have played a part, as they have with Casanova who has barely got started at U21 level.

Paskotsi will hopefully stay. He’s had a tough couple of years, but the ceiling’s high.

We had such high hopes for John, but he seems to have lost heart. Contract or no it’s probably in everyone’s best interest if he moves on.

A bit surprised we renewed Santiago’s contract, think he would do better back home in Spain. He and Craig, and anyone else who’s staying and not involved with the first team badly need to go on loan. And with a bloated squad and no UEFA football that probably includes Devine and Scarlett (and Parrott if he’s not sold).

Skipp is much better than anyone gives him credit for, one of our only players that effectively scans and plays with his head up. Surprised you are willing to write him off

I understand, but I believe he can be sold. Craig imho has a higher ceiling. My opinion ofcourse.
