[Archived] Rovers youngsters

[neophox]

With Gary Bowyer knowing alot of the young players there's a chance someone from the list below could be ready for next season?

Jack O Connell 19 years old

Ryan Edwards 20 years old

Hugo Fernandez 19 years old

Tim Payne 19 years old

Raheem Hanley 19 years old

John O Sullivan 20 years old

Adam Henley 19 years old

Anton Forrester 19 years old

Anthony O Connor 21 years old

Kellen Daly 18 years old

Paul Jorge 20 years old

Edinho Junior 19 years old,

[chaddyrovers]

hopefully we will see 3 or 4 of these youngsters in the first team squad this coming season.

surely Henley will be 1st choice right back/left back this season.

Edwards and O'Sullivan to be involve in match day squad from start of the season.

would like to see these 3 players Hugo Fernandez,Tim Payne and Raheem Hanley go out on loan at league 1 or 2 level to play first team competitive football for full or half a season. would improve their development as footballers

[donnermeat]

The thought of Edinho in the team again makes me kean myself in unrelenting fear.

[Mike E]

Why's O'Connell not in that list? Still too young?

Edit - must learn to read. Also decided to leave this on show to remind me how stupid I can be although the time/fire thing on ICBINF probably put paid to that.

What about Robbie cotton, thought was meant to be pretty useful and we need more in the midfield, anyone think he could step up

Supposedly an absolute @#/? to deal with. Thought he had made it big time and was giving it the biggun. Suffice to say he has not done anything of note with the club yet.

Tim Payne is already an international, anyone seen much about him? Seem to recall he moved from a CF to a DM for New Zealand.

Seen him a few times...bowyer played him as playmaker, attacking midfielder....pretty average for me. O'Connell is the only one.

It'll certainly be interesting to see who Gary Bowyer puts into the 1st team, considering he knows what these youngsters are capable of. Time will tell I guess, but I would personally like to see the likes of O'Sullivan, Henley and O'Connell given some regular action. I'd much prefer youngsters going out and giving their all, than the likes of Murphy and Pedersen who seem to swan round the pitch and not contribute much.

Supporters are far more forgiving in defeat if the team has shown passion and commitment to the cause, rather than looking like they don't care.

As for the other youngsters, send some out on loan to League One to gain some experience. Players like Fernandez and Hanley may benefit from this as these two look to have potential as well.

Never mind give them a chance. You've just named our first team come September!

[old darwen blue]

And after their performances against b***ley last season in the youth cup

then I wouldn't complain, although the answer to the question raised is "unlikely"

[blueboy3333]

Anthony O'Connoir related. This has been cribbed from Burton's local newspaper. I miss Andy Cryer.

What about this Tim Payne lad? You would imagine that a young player with international games would have some talent (I know NZ aren't the best team in the world), but he doesn't seem to be anywhere near the first team.

[bringdunnback]

The official website has noted that Raheem Hanley and Blackburn have come to a mutual termination of his contract.

Was once said he was a bright prospect and made the subs bench a few times, anyone know what happened?

[JAL]

JAL will be along shortly to tell you how rubbish they all are.

With 17 year old Connor Mahoney not in that list, yet having been on the bench for the past six games or so and actually played for the first team. How would you judge the lads mentioned against this Chris-h.

I'll get back to you when I've worked out what the hell you're talking about.

[Guest Norbert]

I think he said 'they're all sh_t.'

[JAL]

I think he said 'they're all sh_t.'

Not really because theyve not played much first team football between them, though you have to ask why not given their ages.
