'League One side Portsmouth have signed striker Dane Scarlett from Tottenham Hotspur on a season-long loan. In all he has netted 12 goals in 14 appearances for England Under-19s.'

Kept Jebbison out of the England side, thought might got a better move.
Less experienced in men’s football than Jebbo even if the England side see him as above Jebbo. Jebbo has already proved himself at league one level. Getting a good league one loan under his belt will set the foundation for Scarlett if he does really well he could well get a loan to a promotion chasing champ side next year which would be a very good standard for a 19 year old
 
Osula being watched by Liverpool and Newcastle, according to Shield.

"It is a measure of their potential that a number of Premier League clubs are thought to have been monitoring their performances this summer, with Liverpool and Newcastle understood to be keeping a watching brief on Osula. Everton have previously been credited with an interest in Jebbison."

Not surprising there’s not many teenage strikers knocking about with their size, strength, athleticism and finishing ability. Yeah ok they’re not the finished articles but as prospects there’s not a whole load of comparable players their age out there.
 
Looks like Osula and Jebbison will both be staying with us, barring a new signing that would dramatically limit their chances of getting into the first team. To me it's another example of Heckingbottom talking sense and you get the feeling we have a solid plan in place for the development of these youngsters:

"We will have to wait and see. For example, if someone does come in and it blocks a pathway then let's get them out and get them playing.

"Some are black and white. For me with Kyron he needs that next step, he needs first team every day. Will I am more relaxed on. If he stays with us I know he is going to be pushed, I know what he's going to get in terms of the programme here.

"Jebbo has done great and I have no interest in sending him out. Again, that may change. We'll play it by ear. We have no shortage of takers for him, people constantly ringing me but I like how he has responded in pre-season and he's improved.

"Hopefully, he can keep improving. Some I know they need to go out, but with others some people might be like 'send them out' but no we have a decent environment here where they are pushed and they work hard and, yeah, I am relaxed about it."

I interpret that as “most of them have done well in pre-season but I’ve got a month to try them in proper games. If they look good enough, I’ll keep them, if they don’t look ready, I’ll loan them out so they can get experience and improve (at someone else’s expense).”

Yeah, I'm sure there's an element of that. I think one of them (probably Jebbo) is likely to be with us until at least January, given the injuries we have in that position and the change to five subs.
 
What a stupid comment. He came on for his first game in ages. Had to run the line totally on his own with us down to 10 men. What did you want or expect.
His job for the last 15 minutes was to run his socks off, gain possession whenever he could, win free kicks and generally make a nuisance of himself.
He failed in all these things.

I wanted him to old the ball more, or at least nearly get hold of it.

We shouldn’t expect too much, but I thought he was really poor today.
 

I'm not sure what his position is. A centre forward has to be able to hold a ball up and bring others into the game. Difficult circumstances for him today but I can't once remember him doing the basics of a centre forwards role properly.

I think he's one of those kids who has sailed through academy football due to his physical capabilities but is finding the adjustment to mens football very hard. Fingers crossed he comes through but I feel we desperately need a signing up front in the window.

He was brought on to play with Ndiaye. After we lost Egan and had to sacrifice Ndiaye, it was inevitable Jebbison would be left isolated. Berge didn't have a good game and was blowing. Doyle was needed in defence, at that stage.

Yes Jebbison didn't do anything but he has absolutely nothing to work with. Clearances smashed out of play just inside Coventry's half. Pumped long balls up against 2 centre backs with nobody supporting the second ball.

Jebbison may or may not have a future with us but trying to answer that question based on today is impossible.

Not really every time he does come on admittedly cameos he looks out of his depth
He’d be better playing league one every week
Ok 5 minutes or so after coming on today we went down.to 10 but his job before and after was to be a nuisance impose himself press run close down win the odd header - he didn’t do any of that but that doesn’t mean he can’t with time
 
S64, that is true, but Hecky is going ti have a big dilemma in January. If we don't sign a backup at least one of Jebbo and Osula are going to be needed
 
People might think I'm being harsh but alot of fans mention Jebbison as our third choice striker and that is a worry. We definitely need someone in January.

I didn't expect him to come on and score an hat trick but I don't to see anything in him to suggest he's going to be a top player. Years ago since his Everton away debut and you'd expect to see something by now.
 
Difficult for him today. Came on with the game set up for him to run the channels and play with some freedom...until the red a few minutes later.
 
That was his first senior minutes after missing a decent chunk of time with a injury.

I trust the manager has phoned Klopp and informed him £24m sorts it.

Since his debut against Everton he’s scored one in two during his spell at Burton and become an important player for England in his age group. So we have seen something. He’s had a frustrating spell since he was brought back from his loan and is now just coming back from a bad injury. Give the kid a chance.
 
I agree , would rather have seen kadra on
When Egan got sent off, the best thing to have done (apart from bringing Basham on, obviously} would have been to have taken Jebbison off and bring Khadra on as the lone striker. He would have chased down everything at 90 miles per hour and given them something to worry about. We may as well have played with 9 men as have Jebbo ambling around like he was eating ice cream on Bridlington sea front.

Jebbo will never make it at this club, as long as he has a hole in his arse. See chapter 'George Long' for the rest of the plot.
 
ALWAYS sell your youngsters at the first opportunity if a bigger club makes a bid in the early stages of their career. If not, you'll be left with a dud 99% of the time.

3-1 when Egan got sent off and finished 3-1. Looks like Hecky got his decisions right to me.
