Fearon is very skilful,has quick feet. The last half dozen games he has really shone,partly down to Kante not being on the scene where he was played out of position several times. I think he has matured too. Him and Orford control the midfield. Both are more skilful than Kante. Both score frequently.Both have learnt to shield themselves well and have become stronger individuals in play. Both look to good for U21's football now.
Not sure about Ajala's offer. Doesn't seem to be affecting him quite the contrary.
As muted before having these 3 on the bench will only improve us.
The game changers we need are these 3.
I love Ollie Scarles but we could take him and Kante plus Kilman off the bench.

How is Fearon going?
Seems to score regularly & lots of movement & energy in highlights I’ve seen
Any reason he hasn’t been given a chance on the first team bench when others have?

Believe Ajala has been given a derisory offer and will move on
Seems a natural goal scorer and again would be more useful than extra first team bench defenders

Very good performance
Ajala,Battrum,Fearon scored.
0-0 HT
Commanding 2nd half , Ajala not losing focus after a first half penalty miss. Continued his fine scoring form and an assist. Fearon and Battrum both on the score sheet once again.

Play some of these or at least have them on the bench,

The shining light in an horrific season for the club as a whole.  A 3-1 win at Leeds the latest success.  

If, as I fear / expect, we are playing Championship level next season, we will need a fair few to be capable of being part of our senior squad next season because finances suggest, like the disasterous relegation where we lost a golden generation and sold / released 16 players in a fire sale, we will soon be relying on the likes of Potts, Earthy, Orford, Kante, Meyers, Cummings, Lamadrid, Fearon etc to stop us doing a Leicester or Birmingham or Sunderland and dropping down further.

The game against Leeds has started and the club seem to have cut costs already .
No blog available despite them saying so.How To Follow...The game will be blogged live, while a live stream of the fixture will be available across the Club’s website and app. A match report, highlights and reaction will follow the full-time whistle.

Strong team.
Hooper
Briggs Lockyear Odyebade
Battrwum Fearon Orford Clayton
LaMadrid Landers Ajala

Yes, Hooper's save was absolutely top class.

Ajala on the bench is a no brainer for me. He has something about him and I love the way drifts into space.  I also thought the shot Hooper saved was in... but also that Ajala's strike was going a yard wide before it came back off the post. So much bend on it

I'd want to firm up that recently rumoured verbal agreement first though

Manuel
maybe he doesn't,maybe he does.
It's his reading off the game,set pieces,which we have a huge problem with,hit's the ball very well from distance,he reminds me of Beckham in many ways in his early days. He is often the player the set's the attacks off from just inside the opponent's half. He also scores quite a few goals.
All I'm saying is he's better being on the bench than a 3rd center back or 2 full backs who can cover defensively. Just the logic that Nuno refuses to use his subs means he doesn't rate his own signings.
It's an alternative.
Just to note I think Ajala,if given the right attitude could actually make more of a difference currently. He's better than LaMadrid,who may develop,scoring and contributing in every game. Liverpool's Ngumoha came on and made an impact when Liverpool looked dogshit.
What alternative's do we have to do something when urgenttly required. ?Not Kilman or Todibo coming on for sure.
2 subs not until the 72nd minute is to late,again. We looked knackered all over the pitch.

Ajala has kick feet and nearly scored a gem.Fearon and Cummings scored good similar well worked goals. Shows good training drills coming off.
Got to mention Hooper who look assured and made a save the was stunning,thought it was in but he clawed it out brilliantly. Looked very composed for a young lad. We do have an abundance of fine keepers.
Fwiw, as my knowledge is limited, but what use would Orford be coming off the bench?? He doesn't strike me as someone who would benefit us if we need to score, or if we need to hang on to something?

Ajala a talent, he's been scoring and playing well all season even when the u21's are below strength. A better option than LaMadrid who it seems has found his way into the first team squad on the back of one performance.
The goal at the end showed his character,strength and speed to go 2/3rd's of the pitch and just walk the ball in.Clever to not try and shoot from further out on that dreadful pitch.
Great all round performance Orford,Fearon,Herrick,Briggs superb.
not sure about the sending off Lewis Brown through a punch but the Tamworth player wrsetled him to the ground,both players should have gone. L Brown 3rd sending off for having a go. He needs to go and lie down for awhile.Stupid.

I have a feeling it's the pathway that bothers him

He's seen Cummings and Landers come in and up until last Saturday, he's not had a sniff 

I think he has a bit of Eze about him

he's a great finisher, has pace and for me should be an option off the bench for the first team while pablo's out. what the fuck sullivan and his pet noble are doing, only they know (unless he's been offered a derogatory offer and knows he can get better elsewhere)
