What a tight race this is going to be for those top 5 places! Teams all playing each other will mean dropped points. Only 2 off 3rd place but could also finish 7th! The George substitution was brave and what a difference the young man made, I'm hoping he is kept next season and not sent out on a needless loan. Back our own please Mr Sporting Directors.

Totally agree with you Greenaway, let's give our talented youngsters a chance to shine.

Greenaway, I agree the lad looks a talent. As a player I was really look forward to see playing for I have to say when given the chance Nkunku hasn’t worked out. My guess he will move on. Sometimes these things just don’t work out. Anyway, I think George offers more that Nkunku. So like you I hope he is in the squad for next season.

Absolutely buzzin for George its great when you can see how much the goals mean to him. Hopefully he keeps getting minutes and proving that he can be a useful addition to the team.

Whitey, we have a few players from the academy who on the threshold of becoming first team regulars. I guess the old thorny question of so called “pure profit” will be asked.
I will not lay the blame for all of this at the door of FFP/ PSR but in my opinion it doesn’t help.

Tom I hope we don't sell them they seem to value the club a lot more when they come from the youth teams. I really like the look of Acheampong, think he has got the potential to be quality.

George has an unbelievable strike on him – a real pile-driver from outside the box that he displayed a lot in u21s games. I hope that goal settles him down, as he's been snatching at shooting opportunities a bit in the first team (could've, and probably should've, had a goal on his Conference League debut) . Proper talent though. Bath and Fraser really knew their business (no comment) .

Being the person who makes the call on a young academy player’s career must be one of the best and sometimes worst job in football.
It has to be impossible to be 100% right.

Even Bath and Fraser made mistakes Tom, Declan Rice being judged not to be good enouth and released being just one of many as an example.

As I say, it’s a tough gig.
