The dream final is still on...
George Pickford played for Southport who drew 1-1 at home to Yeovil in the FA Trophy but went through to the semi finals 4-2 on pens. Yeovil missed 2 but not sure if he saved either of the misses. Either way he is a popular player up there.
Wow that's really disappointing. Thanks for all your updates on his loan. Hope Southport can go on and win it.Unfortunately, George Pickford sustained what looked like a fractured hand early in the 2nd half and had to come off. Played solidly in the 1st half, one Great save to tip a header onto the post.
Shame for all concerned that this will be the end of the loan.
Ah that's a real shame. What a rollercoaster week the lad's had. Hopefully not too bad.Unfortunately, George Pickford sustained what looked like a fractured hand early in the 2nd half and had to come off. Played solidly in the 1st half, one Great save to tip a header onto the post.

That's a shame. Wonder if it was the same wrist/hand held broke last seasonUnfortunately, George Pickford sustained what looked like a fractured hand early in the 2nd half and had to come off. Played solidly in the 1st half, one Great save to tip a header onto the post.

I think the jump to proper mens football at any level is huge physically. Obviously some players develop physically later, some develop early and dominate the younger levels and well some won't at all.Seems to happen a lot with our youth players where a lot of them just aren't robust enough for the rigour of mens football.
I wonder if its the same at other clubs and its a case of u18/u21 football just isnt at the required level or if players just aren't physically up to it
We've had Onyango, Sheriff, Okoronkwo, Dixon off the top of my head all struggle fitness wise with the step up. Tamen has been out of the Tranmere squad and I don't think we've had an update on what kind of injury he had. Armstrong obviously has done well twice on loan but there's definitely more failures than successes.
