Boyd-Munce, has he been involved much in the pre-season games? Be surprised if he goes to a Championship London club, perhaps League One.
no, not muchBoyd-Munce, has he been involved much in the pre-season games? Be surprised if he goes to a Championship London club, perhaps League One.
Wasn't in the squad for Bishop or York (possibly came back injured?), went to Portugal but didn't play vs. Braga... then was subbed on in the 86th vs. Morecambe.Boyd-Munce, has he been involved much in the pre-season games?
Bilongo and Hackney are both under 21 so they don't need a squad number to be "in the squad".
The lad who scored 5 goals last season without pens and off the bench ?Yet Josh Coburn (19 years old) has been given a squad number .
You’ve missed the point. He’s “in the squad”. Bilongo and Hackney are not. They’re in the u23 squad. Not first team.The lad who scored 5 goals last season without pens and off the bench ?
Who’d of thought it ?
Do you mean he doesn’t need to be in the 25 man squad due to age ?You’ve missed the point. He’s “in the squad”. Bilongo and Hackney are not. They’re in the u23 squad. Not first team.

Bilongo will be nowhere near our squad this season, or shouldn't be, he was playing level 7 6 months ago.You’ve missed the point. He’s “in the squad”. Bilongo and Hackney are not. They’re in the u23 squad. Not first team.

———————-Steffen—————————Why do people think 12 outfield players has us sorted in positions ?
What about injuries? Loss of form? Suspension?
Or fielding a bench???
I think Bilongo will be in the squad. He looks terrific!Bilongo will be nowhere near our squad this season, or shouldn't be, he was playing level 7 6 months ago.
Hackney will be loaned out, like last year
Folarin was a flop.Sam Forlarin signed in May 2019 from level 7 and was in our squad less than 6 months later for the 20/21 season, with a squad number (https://www.mfc.co.uk/news/squad-numbers-for-202021-season).
Jones signed the same year from level 7, and was brought into the squad a few months later before being loaned out to Scotland.
Wouldn't be too surprised if Hackney goes on a permanent if we get an offer you know. I wonder how well his spitting incident went down with the club last season.Bilongo will be nowhere near our squad this season, or shouldn't be, he was playing level 7 6 months ago.

Folarin was a flop.
Jones needed 18 months to make an FA cup appearances, he needed 2 years to be a proper first team squad member instead of a filler, and even then it was a situation like today where it was necessity not design.
Bilongo might be in next season, but I can't see it right now.
We had bigger squads back then, those kids only rarely made the bench, as it stands these lads are on the bench and one injury away from being first choice backup. Say Bola gets a knock, then you are looking at Bilongo on the bench and coming on for Giles.Being a flop or not is irrelevant.
We're not saying they'll be in the starting 11, but you can add to your 25 man squad with youth players...

It happens every year. This year won't be any different.... and Bilongo should be the one to do it.
Kamil Conteh not been training with the first team, think he's one for the futureThere is also the young lad from Watford.

I wouldn't compare Bilongo with the youth players either. He has had 6 months of professional coaching, Chapman, Coulson, Malley etc. had about 2-3 years minimum of pro coaching plus another 2+ years with our academy sides.
I'm not against having a smattering of youth players, but its very early for that kid, even Jones was nowhere near.
It's not that I don't think the lad has talent, he does from what I've seen, but he's half way up a very steep learning curve.
we did. We've got 14 senior pros. back in 2017 we had 24, that's excluding the kids on the fringe like Fry, Tav, and Pears."We had bigger squads back then" - We didn't - We just haven't named our kids in this one.
