0-2. That's a really poor one to concede

Everton architects of their own downfall again 0-3

A depressing half considering the strength of the 11. Very clumsy all over the pitch.

Shocking considering we really looked to be in the driver seat the first 20 min or so

As I said the other day results aren't the be all and end all but I fail to see what the strategy is of the under 21s in general. It seems more like an after thought rather than something that they are actively looking to improve. Is Tait even under any pressure for his position?

The more I watch Graham the more he looks like he's gonna have to play out wide. Hes just not suited to the back to goal side of being a centre forward unless he massively fills out like Burrowes for Villa.

He's better off playing off a target man in a free role

He is, but realistically that's a very niche role for him in senior football nowadays. Unless he seriously improves his passing and defensive side of the game to become an attacking midfielder.

Agreed, unless there is a huge growth spurt or he fills out a whole lot, he’s going to be an inside forward or second striker

Graham is featured in The Athletics “ The Prospects “ series today , they watched him at Tamworth mid week . Nothing new really in the article .
Re an earlier comment about Nsangou, way back in the day both Ledson and Kenny featured as 15 year olds for our then u21/23 s , I can’t remember which we had at the time .

Good shout with Ledson and Kenny. I think Davies might also have done it but not checked. Maybe Rhino wasn't so bad for the youth after all
