skipp's been very good, lots of passes through the lines.



on loan at burton.

Yeah he’s been doing really well. Picked up a needless yellow for a couple of quick fouls in succession but apart from that been very good. Bellingham looks a tidy player too. He reminds me of someone but I can’t quite put my finger on who. A bit of Dele in him but it’s not him.

Reminds me of a young Jenas, Toon, Sir Bobby
period.

Will McDeromott’s appointment at the FA mean the end of boothroyd as the user 21 manager?

Think he's contract runs out next year. While he keeps getting them to tournaments I don't think they'll get rid of him sadly. Read somewhere that it would cost them a lot to replace as well, so imagine they're leaving him.

Bellingham is proper quality. So glad he's gone to Dortmund to continue his development, he is probably England's most talented CM right now. He'll be playing for the first team by next year and will be first quality CM we've had in ages. Just hope he continues to develop and not plateau.

If Skipp comes through as well, a Bellingham Skipp partnership will be the best England have had since our golden generation and definitely more balanced

Skipp isn't being as brave on the ball as I'd like which is causing him problems. His teammates are giving him the ball under pressure situations as they know he has the capability to turn out of them, but he isn't doing that. He is being more negative than normal and taking the extra touch or going back. His first yellow was him going back when he didn't need to. His passing, in the first half was brilliant.

Good goal. Pleased for Nketiah, quality striker. Not sure how he fits in at Arsenal fortunately, hopefully he leaves them

A tale of two halves for Skipp, who looked composed in the first but had two errors in the second, one resulting in a saved penalty and one resulting in a goal on the break.

Sess played a strong game throughout — a (deflected) goal in the first half at left wing, a great through ball assist to Nketiah in the second half from right wing.

this article mentions a few that got away:
It’s obviously a lot more complex than just “sign all the best kids” but United having committed to going full FM is reaping benefits. Two of their England-capped front 3 cost them £0 in transfer fees and academy graduates always have a bit more fire when they come through.
Annoying that, I would really like Levy and Hitchen try to get some deals done in January Dele style, even if we plan to loan them out afterwards. There is a bit of a gap of youth talent coming through right now: aside from Tanganga, Skipp, and Parrott I can’t name anyone in the 2000-2002 age group who looks anywhere near the first team.

compared to the likes of Saka, Reece James, Greenwood, etc. we’re a little behind.

This is a shame. Both players should be playing senior football and they will now likely be blocking U23 minutes for our other youngsters.

saw an orient fan say they wanted marsh back on loan but spurs wouldn't allow it unless he extended his contract, if true then that seems very petty.

Josh going out on loan to the National League. Maybe there is still hope that Marsh & Georgiou could have loans yet to be announced

Maidenhead are my local team, whenever fans are allowed back into the grounds I'll have to go along and see how he gets on.
