This lad needs to be in Friday, just scored again enough is enough with Koroma just give him a chance.

It did seem weird he wasn't given a squad number, he can't be far off and given Holmes and Koroma's performances (or lack of Friday) he should be breathing down the necks.

The lad can’t stop scoring for the B Team, got to offer something in the way of attacking threat compared to what we served up Friday.
Edit: even from the bench, given the use of five subs this season.

Bit harsh to highlight the respective performances of Holmes & Koroma, when had at 7 players, from the original selection under performing. Danny Grant must be worth a position on the bench, he's an exciting prospect - UTT. |

Not harsh in my view as they were comfortably the two worst players on the pitch, but listen that's only my opinion and others might not of seen it that way. |

Totally agree, they were the 2 I'd have taken off first |

League 1 players and even then Koroma would struggle. |

Given our lack of creativity from open play I find it hard to believe we won’t see him in some form over the next few weeks. We’ve not got another winger like him atm from what I’ve seen of him

I'm wondering whether there's a lack of interest in loans from lower division clubs across the board, because if he's not going to be played here it makes little sense for him not to be getting first team football somewhere this season.
He's one of a few players I could say that about TBH.

He's one of a few players I could say that about TBH. yep. There's a few that really need a loan. Unless these B team performances are pushing Grant forward he absolutely needs a loan after a long while not playing competitive games. Could make that argument for Aaron Rowe and Ryan Schofield too. Not to mention the younger ones like Myles Bright who haven't got any senior experience yet |

League 1 players and even then Koroma would struggle. They weren't good, Koroma's form has dropped off a cliff, but Sorba was dreadful, as was Danny Ward, Josh Ruffels, Ollie Turton, Jon Russell, REG etc we were shocking! Not a great surprise with a rookie manager, 3 weeks into the job, massive learning curve for Danny Schofield. Question is, will Dean be patient, let's hope so, Danny deserves his chance - UTT. |

He absolutely deserves his chance and I hope he gets it, however if he continues choosing a team far from our strongest I think alarm bells will start ringing. But I think he will have learned from Friday. I do expect us to start winning games once Yuta/Tino/Rudoni are starting. |

It is an absolute no brainer to get him at least involved in a matchday squad.
What harm can be done having him on the bench Friday?

Just out of curiosity's sake, let’s suppose for a moment that Dean isn’t patient...then what?? Sack DS and bring in another cheap option and don’t back them? I can’t see an alternative tbh. |

He's one of a few players I could say that about TBH. He shouldn’t be loaned at all. He should be in for Koroma or at least eased in for him. We have waited long enough for him to come good again, it’s not happening and Grant deserves a go. If he goes on loan the club is backwards |

Whether Grant's form in the B Team warrants the suggestion he's good enough for first team football is debatable, but he (and a few others!) could do with first team football somewhere . We appear to have a talented crop of players in our B Team at the moment. I accept that they won't all make it but surely more of them have a chance to do so if they're playing at a better level than they are currently. |

I think we are too careful with these youngsters. Get them in if the only obstacles are people who are playing like kotoma did.
If they are good enough they are old enough.
I am sure other teams in the championship have been playing lads under 20. If they set the place alight they will be worth millions in no time.
Pat Jones is another potential star isn't he ?

He shouldn’t be loaned out, he should be used here. Should not even be up for debate at all if I’m honest 2 winger slots available. In no particular order: Sorba Thomas Josh Koroma Connor Mahoney Aaron Rowe Duane Holmes Tino Anjorin Myles Bright Pat Jones Jack Rudoni Rolando Aarons ... are all competing with him for the wing berths. Some of those you might not rate, some can play in other positions, but to say it's not debatable is to say that a guy who hasn't played a minute's first team football since leaving the Irish League 18 months ago is head and shoulders above the players mentioned above. Harratt and Phillips have had spells of tearing it up in the B Team only to play bit-part roles in Lg2 afterwards. It IS debatable. Even if he's hands down the best winger we have at the club though, there's still only room for a few of those listed to get a reasonable amount of first team football. Some of those need either loaning out or selling for the sake of their own careers. |
