McCann - "He can play through the middle, different to Magennis, different to Eaves, more of an on-the-shoulder number nine".
... couldn't that have been KLP? (happy though if we are signing a decent striker that offers another option to Magennis <who I do rate, but can't do it without decent service .... so long as he stays onside obvs>.
 
None of them could play 90 minutes in the Championship at present, but the likes of Jarvis, Green, Snelgrove, Leake and Jacob have been training with the first team and are probably the most highly thought of outfield players. Harry Wood made his debut last year but there are rumours about him that are a bit troubling vis a vie his talent.

You've also got David Robson who is a very promising goalkeeper.

There's some talent coming through, but it remains to be seen if they'll be called upon at this level reliably.

What are the rumours about Harry Wood’s talent?
 
On Wednesday, it was more like lobbing in crosses time and again for Davies and Jagielka to gobble up all night long, with typically only Magennis anywhere near them.
Truly bizarre, and part of why jury remains out for me on McCann.

This has been my biggest criticism of our playing style. There's no mixing it up, it's either all crosses or all long balls. Yes, we play with wingers, but one of the key reasons Jarrod was so successful was because he cut inside and had a go, we don't see enough of that from KLP. Wilks yes, but he's out at the moment. We've got to be braver and not worry about missing the chances, because they won't all go in but if we don't even try, the keeper isn't earning his money.

Kelle Roos had bugger all to do on Wednesday because we didn't shoot, we focussed on getting it wide instead of firing the ball at him. Fulham won't afford us much in the way of chances so we've got to have a go when the opportunity arises.
