Bywater

[bertieblade]

just been to see the under 21, Bywater stood out as potentially a decent player, does anyone know any background on him?

DCL is going to be one hell of a footballer and Dimaio, mcgahey, Willis And Adams will make a living from the game but each need to improve certain areas. As for the rest, they do not appear to have moved on in the last twelve months

On trial apparently. Is it this kid from West Ham?

At Under-18s level there are one or two exciting players coming through, including one or two nicked from other teams academies.

The Hammers have Kieran Bywater, the Under-18s captain; he is currently top goal scorer for the academy with 12 goals in 15 games. The winger is a clean striker of the ball and can take a mean free kick, when was the last time we scored direct from a free kick? Bywater could be the man to end that myth on a regular basis in the future.

Shame to hear that about Otis Khan. Tell more about DCL.

Bywater, played central midfield. A decent size up and down box to box guy with a good touch, always available and confident to retain possession until the right ball was on.
Khan has ufortunately not progressed at all, still has a good touch but played at right back git skinned by their winger and when he pushed forward although getta g one of two balls in , he was very lazy conceding possession on. U errors occassions.
DCL has everything, played up top, good touch, great tenacity, brilliant football brain, although sometimes may be accused of being selfish. Always looks to make To get forward and loves a tackle.
Could possibly see him as a box to box midfield player, think they are playing him up top to make use of his ability to dictate play from further up the field.
Best prospect in the academy in my opinion

Last game today for Willis......

 

[bertieblade]

Why is that? Surely we are not releasing Willis, he is a better prospect than long was. Although having said that I cannot see long making it his confidence is seemingly shot. He dropped a big Rick in Scotland last week

It's good to hear we have some promising youngsters, the club need to nurture them because after all they are our future.

Strange how we see it.. Bywater did little for me today and I'd be surprised if we took it further, but then who knows?
As for Otis Khan, I like that kid, did fine at RB from where I sat, has energy and attitude, an interesting player at this stage
Calvert-Lewin also has something to work on too, looks good so far.
Cardiff's ginger 9 was a handful.

What's happening with Willis?

 

[Vassilis]

Morgs wasn't happy with Bywater taking all the free kicks - he was shouting at Che Adams to take one at one point! Thought Dom CL and Adams were the standout players. Our two centre backs, Banton and McGahey were athletic and aggressive. I can see DCL coming into the first team frame next season, he's matured physically as well as ability-wise and looks a very handy player to have around.
