Youth players making the grade

While its looking fairly quiet on the transfer front thought it would be interested to see if there are any youth players that people are expecting to make the grade this year and push into the first team set up.

Obviously Lewis Miley is in and around the team already and I think this year is a big one in terms of his development having missed a lot of the last season and when available playing a bit part in the run in.

Players who've been in and around the first team already:
Harrison Ashby - RB (QPR loan)
Alex Murphy - LCB/LB
Travis Hernes - CM/CDM (AB loan)
Garang Kuol - LW
Trevan Sanusi - RW
Sean Neave - CF

Players who we appear to have high hopes for:
Leo Shahar - RB
Rory Finneran - RB
Charlie McArthur - CB
Miodrag Pivas - CB (Loan in Europe)
Cathal Heffernan - CB
Anthony Munda - CM
Alfie Harrison - CM/CAM
Antonio Cordero - RW*
Vakhtang Salia - CF*

Anyone you are expecting to break through this season?

For me I think Shahar sounds like a real talent, not seen much of him yet but always hear good things and would like to see him get a chance , Sanusi looked good when he came in and will only get better, A. Murphy has looked comfortable in and around the first team, Alfie Harrison had a decent season last year arriving from City and Sean Neave made the squad a few times.

 

Murphy
Neave
Harrison
Cordero
McArthur

These are the ones who should be around the first team

Ashby and Kuol, I would expect, to leave club

 

Finneran is a midfielder not a right back
Think Sanusi is more of a left winger and Kuol on the right

 

Think Ashby could come good, did a decent job for QPR last season and played up and down the wings (RB/LB/RM/LM) for them so is clearly versatile, Kuol - while I don't think he'll cut it here I respect him making the move over from the other side of the world, getting himself use to European football. Think he'll end up a Championship/L1 player or in lower league foreign league like Scotland but he'll still earn himself a good few grand a week wherever he ends up and make a career for himself.

 

There was signs he may be coming on again at the back end of the season, he started to score a few. Kuol that is.

 

Think Kuol and Ashby will be out on loan again and both need a good season to get into the frame here. A few others likely to go on loan too. Murphy might have a chance as cover with Halls injury and Targetts injury record. Believe he’s still under 21 too

 

Didn’t we sign a Turkish kid?

 

Shelvey isn't actually Turkish, he was just playing in Turkey.

 

Kuol had a rough start to the season but played 10 matches in the 2nd half and scored 5 with 4 assists. I think there may still be a player in there

 

Yeah Yildiz

 

Yeah think he's in the u18's - was mainly focusing on the u21's as they a re likely to break through. Got mason Miley coming through as well who's meant to be the bets of the 4 brothers
