    Until you disagree with him and you'll be blocked with expert reflexes reminiscent of a leftie on social media.

    Echo, echo, echo ..........

    That's a main reason why a lot of people are so interested. He was never really given a chance here, which baffled many fans considering what he did while on loan at Swindon. People are still wondering whether we let him slip through the net or we rightly let him move on.

    12 years ago today! Not a lot going on then? So Jake Young appointed as the saviour of BCFC.
    Badly done to by manager past an present. Stevenage 9 apps 1 goal so hardly tearing up trees for them. Maybe a good sell.

    The league above is a class above - it aint league two. He would be a far better option in this current squad than the shite that Cook finds himself paired with.

    Yeah but that doesn't fit the narrative.

    As we are likely to come up against Jake Young next season and he has spent virtually all of the 24/25 one at Stevenage, then his progress is interesting. Reading some of the posts on BT, then after his exploits at Swindon, he was going to be the next ‘big thing’. Well with figures of 4 goals in 37 appearances, he has hardly made any significant progress as measured by goals. One in every 9.25 games is poor.
    Looking at his near contemporaries at City, then Kavanagh’s 13 goals from 45 appearances at 1 goal per 3.46 games is far more impressive.
    However Kian Harratt also seems to have stalled. Now in the National League, he has amassed 5 goals in 37 appearances, so 1 goal per 7.4 matches. He has also mysteriously disappeared from the Oldham squad for the last two games.
    Tyler Smith who remains a City player for next season has done marginally better with 5 goals in 26 appearances, which equals a return 1 goal per 5.2 games.
    Oliver….. the less said the better.
    Really next season is becoming a ‘make or break’ for Young.

    It's tough as all those players mentioned have played up front...... Young hasn't. He's been played on the left wing all season at Stevenage but they have Elliot List who has been first choice above him. Revell wants to play 1 up top and he was never given a chance from reading up on him. He came off the bench up front and scored against Birmingham last i looked, and from their forum at the time they hoped that would give Revell the nudge to use him up front. But after than again it was just cameos on the left. He played the final day up front and scored too. T&A did an article with their sister paper over there, saying similar that he wasn't really used up top but the hope is he will next season.

    To be fair to him, he still scored 1 every 229 minutes in L1 which is still a fantastic return for a lad who played 5-10 minutes per game.
