His stats for touches excluding feet must be ridiculous. More headers in that clip than i've seen most prem defenders make in a season

Encouraging performance from a 17year old in a professional game. Aerially & positioning promising. However, I know it’s early days but doesn’t strike me as mobile or agile enough to reach the top level in a high line system. A joe Rodon type defender.
He already has better upper body strength and power than Rodon. Rodon is tall but has a narrow body shape and slow feet that means he struggles against shorter powerful forwards.

Vuskovic also looks very quick for his size.

Great news on Leo professional contract. By my reckoning that’s pro’s for

Leo Black
Archie Chaplin
Pele McDemott
James Rowswell
Maeson King
Tyrese Hall
Yusuf Akhamrich
Damola Ajayi
Oliver Irow

Decisions still to be made on Carey Bloedorn, Kieran Morgan & Han Wilhoft-King.

Expect Elliot Krasniqi and Zach Simons will not be offered.

Expect all three to get deals. Bloedorn has been really good since breaking into the side. Morgan has made good progress and deserves another year or two. Wilhoft-King has had a lot of injuries, I think he'll get a third year scholarship.

Sheffield Wed v Plymouth 1945 live on skysports action. Ash Philips starts, Devine on bench.
I feel like every time I see Phillips playing for Plymouth he ends up making a ton of basic defensive errors. I know he’s a kid and I’m not especially concerned but it is interesting.

I agree. he's nowhere near ready to play for our team. he needs another year, at least, at championship level to be considered.
