Just watched highlights of last U18s game of last season (beat Arse 5-1) and higlights of this game Ballard 6 goals! and could have had more, he's on fire at Youth level
He can sit on our bench and still play. Its happened before. My point is, he's a better option to bring on than Mara.
TBH I think it's only a matter of time before Ballard gets in the first team squad every week, particularly if we sell Che and Tella.
