Another one who should have had more games... injuries aside.

Gives the ball away now and then but looks promising.
 
Worried about contract situation, saw that we are trying to tie him down to a new one. Hopefully has more than a year left.

I was impressed since he came in earlier on in the season and filled in when we were struggling at RB.
 
JR doesnt manage the reserve or development sqauds..its those managers who pick the team..as another poster said..i think oviedo is another rodwell..
is hume out of contract in june?

ross doenst manage the u23s..

My understanding was that if the first team manager wanted to take a look at someone, then the U23 manager would oblige. It would seem logical if it was a hierarchical structure thing as surely the end product is to get the best first team that we can out on the field:cool:

you would hope so. i dont know who the U23 manager is right now-but i would guess his line manager is Richard Hill, not Jack Ross. But yes you would hope a first teamer would be put in their in the interests of the club.
 
Thought he was excellent tonight.
Not sure how old he is exactly maybe 19 ish.
He’s got bags of energy, great going forward and seems ok defensively to me.
He’s so inexperienced so of course he’s going to have to improve both defending and attacking but he seems to be a real prospect to me on the little I’ve seen in the first team.
Best player on the pitch against Fleetwood, earlier in the season, prior to his injury, IMHO
 
Just the caveat if it’s the third division and he struggles to defend at this level
Very similar was said about Robertson at before he signed for Hull and when he signed for Liverpool. Now I'm not saying Hume is that good but he looks to be in that mould to me, a very attacking modern type of full back. See also Van Aarnholt, used properly these type of players can be far more important than just a solid full back.

Anyway, I have liked what we've seen of him so far, hopefully he can keep fit and keep improving.
 
Really pleased for him , he is a great lad and he will only get better, he missed loads of football at U16 and U18 due to injury, hopefully he can get a run in team now.
 
Just let him play his part in getting us up,we need all hands.
End of season give him a month to make up his mind sign or go,end of.
Get it sorted before the season starts
 
People getting carried away here.
Hard to tell if he will be any good we play in a pub league remember

Whilst I take the point you make,the lad does look confidant and skilfull on the ball. For someone who hasn't played that much,he looks good regardless of the league we're in.

How many times have we said that over the years,countless young lads played a few games and at a higher level as well and never made it, we didnt chase them to sign long term contracts.
The likes of Hume should be greatful the club has shown good faith in him keeping him on the books and should be honoured we are willing to give him a further chance to earn a first team place.

Don't disagree with any of that,but the point you were making was that we couldn't tell if he was any good because we are playing in a lower league. As I understand it we've offered him a contract and in my opinion he looks a good enough player to justify it,even if he is up against third division opposition.
 
Like the look of him. Would have played a lot more if it wern’t for injuries.

Hopefully we get him signed up. Could br very short in the fullback areas at the end of the season with james and matthews also out of contract.
