Agree, Grigg scores running on to through balls, not being fed Wyke Garyowens. Said this months agoThis
Must have been a nice change for him since he’s usually trying to chase down 60 yard balls.

You mean Hugill to United or did someone go to Leeds?According to Cole, the lad we sold to Leeds, Daniel Neil and Cole (Kiernan) were all given one year deals with the word that the academy would be significantly invested in. Then all three had bids accepted within a week of signing and all other academy players were released, and each of the three basically forced out. Neil deal fell through, other two obviously left - Cole to boro and the other lad to Leeds. Doesn’t sound good for the lads future here tbh.
You need to manage these young lads carefully, and you can't just throw them in week after week at this level when it's so physical.

You may well be right. I couldn’t remember the lads name, as he used first names and it didn’t register at the time. I did think Leeds were around one of our player at the time, not sure.
Dele Alli played 70 odd games and scored 22 goals for MK Dons in League One before he was 19.
I keep hearing soundbites unlucky not to play, bonus player I'm not sure Parkinson is keen to play him, give him a game next 2games if he's good great start him in the league if not use him as impact subCan't get carried away as there's a difference between pre season games against teams in the leagues below and proper games but be nice to give him a chance not like we're filled with quality players in midfield.
We don't have a Dele Alli though.
Agree with that. You'd have to take Gooch or Maguire out though, Parkinson won't do that.Play him in a midfield 3 with Scowen and Power.
Why would youAgree with that. You'd have to take Gooch or Maguire out though, Parkinson won't do that.
He does but give it a few days and I’m sure there’ll be some that knock himLooks very impressive
No coz we sold all of our best prospects before they were 17!!!We don't have a Dele Alli though.
Fine line between playing young players and having too many in team. I'd certainly have him in and around the first team next season. Either starting or on bench as min on current showing. Better than most of current senior pro's so far.If we were in the Premier league or a good championship team and were loaning out a young talented player like Neil to league one, we'd be dismayed at him not getting games. Now we are at this low level, let's not hold him back just because he's young and inexperienced. Cliché but if he's good enough he's old enough. The attributes he has have been sorely missing in our squad.
As aboveWhat position does he play & what position would he play in our 3-4-3 formation?
It doesn’t matter who the opposition is, if a young player, no matter his age, is performing better than his older more experienced team mates, then surely that shows he deserves to be in the side on merit.If we were in the Premier league or a good championship team and were loaning out a young talented player like Neil to league one, we'd be dismayed at him not getting games.

You pick the in form players who make things happen, they are the ones who win tight games.Why would you
Good to hear. If he is overlooked after his performances preseason then there’s no point at all having an academy especially considering the number of young players we’ve had on loan from the premier league and championship. You can see he has great ability and energy, exactly what we are short of and he’s here and desperate to give his all for SAFC. Another Jordan Henderson in the making!Great kid from Jarrow brought up by a great family who has come through the system since being a little one. The kid is a Sunderland fan who would do anything to play for his home town club. Thrilled to bits he is in and around it. He’s been through a lot in his footballing career already and I’m happy he is reaping the rewards.
