Jake Young

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

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

 

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.

 

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.

 

We got the last laugh in the end

 

Out of interest, anyone know the situation with this guy? Can’t see if he’s even made an appearance this season. Injured or out of favour?

 

City do seem to have dodged a bullet with Jake Young
Although with the amount of time missed both last season and this, the sicknote will have felt right at home with our current squad

 

I checked a few weeks back on their forum and he was injured literally seconds into the MK friendly and hasn't been seen since. He had a set back in a behind closed doors friendly too apparently.

According to them it appears he was going to finally start being used up top a bit more from the looks of pre-season, rather than last season when he was used as a left winger, but they've found other lads who have hit the ground running. Even if he gets fit he's going to be down the pecking order there now with the new lads.

 

Is it too early to say his career is ending up down the pan? What might have been eh?

 

Other than a good 4 months at Swindon his record really isn't great, taking out that period he's on 15 goals in 108 games. You see players who have a spell where they look amazing then never show it again, it's why I was more than happy to sell him when we did and cash in.

 

I’m with you on that.
