Leo Black in the under 19s, presume Mikey left out because of the virus.
Ash Philips in Under 20s with Lankshear . Would have thought Devine would have been in but they seem to prefer 2 Man City boys who hardly play.??

Interesting, may go and have a watch if he’s getting games as Stortford isn’t too far from me.
'Work experience'typicslly means he is training with club as a trial for a potential move to said club or player has requested work experience as not getting minutes etc

How has Tyrese Hall been performing this season? With the impending confirmation that Bentancur will be hit with a 7 game ban, we might see Tyrese make the step up during that time.

I doubt it. Tyrese's form has dropped off a little bit but I think its more about the bodies ahead of him. I think Ange would rather use Gray there if Bissouma can't play, if Biss & Gray were out I would expect Ange to stick Sarr, Kulu or even an Udogie there. My guess is that Ange would view Tyrese as being too lightweight to play such a demanding role at this point.

Yeah, sorry didn't mean to suggest he would be getting minutes but I imagine with our luck with Injuries and suspensions, he might get the chance to train with the 1st team again on a consistent basis and even make the subs bench at some point.

No chance, as good as he is, no where near ready for prem yet in my opinion.

No problem mate. Its a legitimate question. We all want to see the kids get a chance in this thread.

@Lilywhite Rose hey mate, have you heard anything about what Jamie Bowden and J'neill Bennett are up to? They've been without clubs for ages. Its crazy to me that Bowden, especially, hasn't earned himself a professional contract somewhere.

Yes we have three keepers currently out on work experience loans and could potentially see all three leave the club at the end of the season following the completion of their contracts.

Krasniqi- Stortford
Warren - Barton Rovers
Bloedorn - Averley

Yeah likely not to get further deals is what I saw with a few of my sons friends, but the players can request 'work experience' at other clubs.

Brentford seemed a common plan to do work experience down this way.

Both seemingly followed Enock Asante into the Bermuda Triangle.

No info on J’Neil since he was on Trial at Crewe up until January of this year.

Bowden no idea.

As you say, two decent players better than some in the current U21s.

No chance Udogie plays there, one of his weaknesses is losing possession when pressed in the middle of the park, it would be a disaster imo.

If Bissouma and Gray were both out I'd probably go with Romero as the obvious choice to step in. After that it's probably Bergval/Hall.

Sarr and Kulusevski would have to play alongside whoever plays there.

Some of these lads seem to fall out of love with football when they leave at a young age. Josh Onomah didn’t play for over 12 months, now at Blackpool. Nya Kirby the same. Recently released from Oxford City.
Tariq Hinds is way down the pyramid in the south west I think.
Whether they want too much money I don’t know but I am sure someone would take them on.
In some way our facilities are so good that when you end up at Accrington, it’s another worLd. some probably can’t be bothered with it.
