Totally agree with you there but youth pacey wingers in general all have that weakness to their games. I'm not expecting him to be a world beater by any means but if he can get to a Dobbin level then he'll be handy for us as cover or even to sell...
Stockport are making a big push for promotion with new players and a strong base from last year. It’s a good move for Dixon , he’s likely to be involved in some key promotion battles and a chance to prove himself.
I find him a frustrating player, power and pace but often lacking the ability to get his head up , see where his team mates are and deliver a crucial ball . Too many runs into blind alleys with no end output for me. Hopefully he’s over his...
Dixon on loan at Stockport County in league 1. Onyango goes there on a FT I think as he’s out of contract. Nice to see the loan move. League 1 suggests he’s some way off the first team.

Not sure if there's any I've missed so feel free to fill in the gaps but Tyrer*, Lukjanciks, Pickford, Welch*, Heath, Sherif, Graham, Armstrong, Gomez have travelled with the seniors in the pre season boot camp. So there's your frontrunners for...

I’m assuming from the others this year that we’re doing 2 years almost as standard.
I think Thomas is the best centre back prospect we’ve had in years come through the academy. Nothing like our usual types (Feeney/Tierney - arguably now Davis)...
I was more surprised to realise he's been playing on his scholar deal whilst eligible for a pro for the past near full 2 years - Sep birthdate.
Maybe the club and wider football world are just nowhere near as high on him because that's a really...
