    15 year old left back playing in the under 21s, has anyone seen much of him? Is he a real prospect or is he playing cos we have nobodyelse?

    Saints policy is to play the most promising in age ranges higher than their normal years. So the answer is very possibly yes, he's very good. It's also much of the reason why we don't win as often at the under-age games as we might. It's all good experience.

    He's played the last 3 games that I am aware of. He came on as a sub due to an injury and has retained his place since. Looks good for a 15 year old at this level.

    Went close with a free kick and has taken some decent corners. So looks good technically.
    Got a bit lost for the goal and has made a few positional errors, but he is playing with a very young defence and keeper and I think saints are missing an organiser back there.

    Doing very well though considering the natural physical disadvantage for him at this level

    Injuries are the main thing. But yes he is rated highly.

    Well, he's a left back, so he's probably a huge prospect. Like it could be any other way with our left backs. :D

    Has the trademark "Southampton Left Back" been copyrighted yet?
