#thfc have confirmed that Michael Craig has been released from his contract that was set to expire on 30 June 2023.

Apparently the Craig's dad has been heavily involved, and demanded that Michael be released from his Contract following his dispute. This dispute has apparently got a little bit nasty and the Clubs youth representative has asked Michaels entourage to keep his dad away.

Michael will either be joining Southampton or Leicester as he has been offered Contracts from both. Matthew is more of a quiet lad & is happy to stay at Tottenham, for now.

I've completely missed this, what's the dispute about?

If young players are good enough they will get a chance. Look at Skipp...was given a chance and has taken it to the extent that we do miss him when not in the team.
skipp was given the chance to prove it elsewhere, i doubt he'd be in the position he is now without those 50 games for norwich.

Shouldn't Scarlett be involved in a game like this?



Excuse my ignorance but who's the lad in the picture?

And why aren't there countless pages of people voicing their anger at his hair & calling him every name under the sun?

This Wolves side are incredibly powerful. Most of them are absolute units.

Bloxham easily got shoved off the ball on the edge of their box a moment ago, but appreciate he's not exactly the biggest of players.

Explains why the club have been bigging Matthew up lately.

I think our coaches have really hamstrung us by playing inverted fullbacks. Has BBW ever played left back? Has McKnight ever played right back? Neither look comfortable at all.

It feels like at the start of the season when our youth coaches are working out our targets they always pencil in bombing out of the youth cup in as tepid a way as possible. Its been a long time since I've seen us take it seriously,. I think that's a shame. Its a rare opportunity to win something and experience winning something.

I also can't understand why we don't mirror our first team with formations and tactics. Surely it would be beneficial to play 343 and for the likes of Scarlett and Devine to get used to playing in the same set up as the seniors.

Also, Scarlett needs to be playing in these games as he isn't going to get minutes for the first team any time soon.

Just realised i've mistaken McKnight for Linton. Linton's the left back, McKnight is the right back. BBW has an excuse for getting roasted today, McKnight has been poor while playing in his best position.
