After Young’s transformation the moral of the story RE any new player should be to give him the benefit of the doubt

 

That'll be the Wrexham against whom Wilson scored a screamer . In my opinion I think Wilson has already shown he's good enough for League 2. Unfortunately as we no longer play with wingers he might need to move on or adapt to another position....or wait a few months for the next manager. I'm not saying we shouldn't have signed quality, experienced players to get us out ofthis division, but we should also be signing young players like Wilson

 

According to the Northern Echo in 2020 Kavanagh was linked to Chelsea and Arsenal whilst playing for the Boro youth team.

 

Nahki Wells… You have a short memory or you’re very young

 

Great example of the difference at this level of composure and talent combining to win a game. Odours look up and pass to the excellent run and the cool finish from Kavanagh. Two players who look like they can make a difference though consistency will be the key to their ultimate success.

 

He had trials at Arsenal and Chelsea as a 16 year old before signing with Boro. He was a winger when they signed him who has eventually made his way up top.

If someone has signed permanently at this level and at his age from the Champ, tells you that he's missing something that Boro think he might not make it to their level. But we've seen it time and again in recent years of players who end up in L1/2 and are in the prem eventually. Might be a mentality thing with Kavanagh? As someone else has said, GA has had words about his intensity and press already. Might just need a situation to get all the pieces to land in place.

 

The kid is 20 years old and has lots of time to improve.
He might come good and like all these signings its a gamble.
Wont have cost much .
Fans are always complaining if we miss out on a local young player that goes on to have a good career
If he flurishes and moves on back up the leagues we are laughing.
Jake young had done very little before this summer and if he had not done so well at Swindon, no one would have batted an eyelid if he had gone.

 

He is 20 with a bit of experience already got a decent report from the Newport Journo. And has had a little bit of championship experience time will tell but this is the sort of player we should be scouting

 

Harratt also had potential, but was also pretty much frozen out, even before his non-football scandals

 

Its easy look at the website with lists of staff and job titles. On the silly remark you show yourself up as a bit of a bigot to be honest as others have also commmented on your poor attitude to others on the forum

 

Small point, but it's Calum Kavanagh, not Callum.

Thought he looked lively for a while.

 

Alexander has had us pay a fee so I think he believes he can play along side Cook but seeing Jake Young come on I'd like to see that pairing up top, he got stuck in when brought on.

 

Never saw anything at all in Afoka and Tulloch, totally out of their depth.

Goals aside, I think Kavanagh has a lot more about him and be interesting to see him develop with us.

 

He's looked positive so far, interesting that Alexander mentioned he had to have a word with Kavanagh at half time yesterday about his lack of intensity in the 1st half. If he can get the mentality right and get rid of the bits of 'lazy' play that are probably picked up in academy football then we could have a very good player then it's down to if he get the chances and take them in front of goal. 2 different goals so far but both have promising in different ways. The goal on Tuesday was about reading the game and gambling at the back post whereas yesterdays was a good run followed by a good finish with the pressure on.

 

Yes....he's still moaning he didn't get the pass!...


...only kidding he was the first to congratulate Kavanagh

 

He is clueless.

 

Not much of that at VP at the moment!

 

Hmmm, some of us saw the potential in Young though and couldn’t understand why Hughes froze him out for the likes of Harratt

 

For what it's worth I think they were both under-utilised / misused. Harratt was on the bench a lot but seldom used. Neither player suited the way Hughes wanted to play which made it more confusing why they were even signed in the first place (by Hughes)

 

I think he would have used Harratt a lot more if he hadn't got himself sent off at the end of his 1st appearance. Then the hare coursing / dog controversy occurred and off he went back to Town.
