I watch them quite a lot and I think the side overall this year is quite poor personally. To be fair though, they're following on from a brilliant side and the expectation is high. From the team last night...
Callum MacFazdean (2nd year) is a really good player, he plays mainly on the left wing but can play in a number of positions too. I've seen him at full back, centre midfield and up front. He has a rocket of a shot on him and is a good finisher. I'd be surprised if he didn't get a chance in the first team in the next 18 months.
Jordan Hodder (1st year) is a right back who I like the look of. He's got pace to burn and despite his lack of size isn't scared to put a foot in.
George Willis (1st year) is England's keeper at U17 level and with good reason. He commands is area well, is a good shot stopper. His kicking lets him down sometimes in my opinion but he's a young keeper. That can easily be worked on.
Daniel Deakin (1st year) is a tricky winger who can play up front or just behind the strikers. I like the look of him, has decent technical ability and could do well if he's coached right.
Diego is a 15 year old, and extremely highly rated by the younger levels. I'm interested to see how he progresses in the next couple of years.
When you lose the likes of Long, Maguire, and Slew it's going to disrupt your side. Terry Kennedy, Aaron Barry, Elliot Whitehouse and Matt Harriott are all big misses too because they're good players. I thought Whitehouse might have been in with a chance of the first team this season too.
