Quite. I see Premier League sides playing teenagers who have blinders, yet we seem reluctant to do the same.

His movement and all round play was great to see. Almost scored too. Gotta give him a chance.

He should have scored and I was surprised when he missed, he scores goals like that all of the time in ade level football.

Re: Cian Ashford

Agree....he did well apart from the miss, as did Joel Colwill and Evans. Surely they must get SOME first team game time soon.

Yes, I would like to see him gradually given more game time. I don't follow the U21 avidly, but when I watch their highlights, he's always one that stands out, as is Xavier Benjamin, to be fair.

Where did he play? What sort of player was he like?

He’s a striker/10 from what I could see of him. Very silky movement in receiving and moving with the ball. Barely put a foot wrong and almost scored.

He looks like a decent player, but he also looks like a 14 year old kid. He needs to gain some muscle.

Didn’t stop him gliding around and past the experienced pros.

Premiership totally different, it's a far better option for younger players as there is quality around them to protect them and better officialdom, championship is unforgiven

Re: Cian Ashford

Well..it is all relevant....Premier league better surrounding players....but also better defenders....so level down a notch and it becomes even again...not quite as good defenders...allows less talented youngsters to shine.....
