Probably going to receive some stick for this, but I feel some are going over the top about our promising player.
Over the last few games, we've needed Trott's agility to keep us in the game.
With the Kazakhstan game, as well as he played, they still had a lot of chances for the 114th team in the world.
The next few games against some of the better teams may bring us all back down to earth.
Probably considering he has only played 10 senior matches.
Amazingly in that time he has a full international debut and been part of 7 clean sheets.
He will have poor matches and city will lose and we will concede goals. I'm trying to just enjoy the start as it has been a while since I've looked forward to the actual football or felt positive about players coming through.
He has been superb and is growing in confidence every game. Any errors defensively will be coached out of him with experience.
The one thing you can’t teach in any player is his ability on the ball to make incisive passes that break the lines and this is why he will be a top player. He has all the attributes and is only 19.
He will have games a league 1 striker gives him the run around of course but he is going to be a top, top defender.
He will have much tougher games this season than v Kazakhstan but he looks like a player destined for the top.
Party pooper
Let's enjoy him while we've got him. I suspect we've always wanted to become a selling club but we've not had much to sell in the past. Now we have with Lawlor, Kpakio, Ashford and others with possibly more to come through the ranks
I’d rather everything was kept on the downlow. Seems as though a shop window as big as Harrods is being created, not just by City connected people either.
Maybe a bit over the top, but he reminds me of Alan Hansen and Dik-Van-Dyke (whatever that Liverpool player’s name is)
I think he’s a player that will be even better the higher levels he playsOriginally Posted by BLUETIT
In this division, there’s going to be cloggers and forwards who can only rely on muscle and guts
Against teams in the Championship, he’s probably going to have more time on the ball, and let’s be fair he looks completely composed with the ball at his feet.
Will he have some tough times, definitely, will he have a dip in form, possibly
Those are temporary things and he’ll come through them
ATM I’m enjoying watching a side that works their socks off, that looks comfortable with possession, something we haven’t seen for years
It appears we’ve signed two players who are good enough to go straight into the first team
Who they replace is the difficult question, especially regarding Osho, as both Fish and Lawlor have been in a back five that hasn’t conceded a goal in open play in six games
As well as our lot working their socks off, we’re making opponents work even harder. The final whistle at most game see a few opposing players sink to their knees due to the ball chasing they’ve been doing for the past 90 odd minutes. We’re wearing teams out.
Good shout, it’s just another reason why we are light years ahead of the mind numbing dross we’ve been seeing over the last few years
I agree with everything that's been posted.
I'm not having a go at him at all. Just keeping on the side of caution.
\cor blimey guv'ner, you've gone Pete Tong on that one!
A defender is not a god among men that can stop every attack. Same as a goalkeeper not being able to save every shot, or every striker getting a thundercunt on target. What's more, he only covers a certain portion of the pitch, the rest is down to other defenders and the CDM. Sometimes a defender can do everything right, and still be scored against.
The scouts are already watching him.
He’s not old enough to be in the cubs yet
A few clubs have sat up and taken notice of our youngsters, given the way we’ve started the season. Should we continue in this vein January will be interesting and a test of our resistance.
Based on what
He's actually had to defend vs Kazakhstan! He's had the pipe and slippers on in some games this season
Of course we can’t over inflate him on one game (which he played superbly in) as we can’t throw the baby out with the bath water when he had a poor game earlier this season.
He looks more assured with Trott behind him, as do all the players. Trott’s presence is vital, always giving the defenders that extra layer of support at the back.
Like v Peterborough where he probably should have been sent off and Port Vale.Based on what

Kazakhstan are crap. So are the majority of sides in this division. But there will no doubt be tough games and a different more physical challenge.
Burnley is the next big test, depending on who they play.

A lot of people were saying this before we played Luton and Plymouth.
As City (and Wales) fans let's just enjoy what is a clearly talented footballer, because unless we do an Ipswich and go back-to-back I don't see him being here beyond the next two years (and that's if we're lucky). Same with Kpakio.
Also, people saying he hasn't been properly tested yet forget where he made his debut.
Absolutely this, word for word
