Does anyone know what the latest is on Davenport?

He seems to be the forgotten man.

Demoted to the U23s.

Getting back to fitness after injury. Played on Monday for the under 23's

He’s never going to play for us again I bet.  Too many ahead unless he’s one of Tony’s sunshine boys 

[Dan]

He’ll probably try him as a wide midfielder.

Davenport another who hasn't really stood out at 23's level, young Tom White a much smoother operator than him and for me would be much more deserving of a chance in the first team - if you're basing it off of the games they play in.

U23s is no barometer, it’s very sanitised

I've watched on many times Tom White and Jacob Davenport play on the same pitch, against the same team, together at the same time in the same conditions. That IS a barometer, there couldn't be a more perfect one. White been miles better than Davenport all season, impressively so.

Yes but neither are good enough for the first team so it’s all irrelevant

Not easy to stand out when you're constantly getting injured. The amount of lost development time and ring rust will have a real effect. Unless he can stay injury-free for a long time starting pretty much immediately, it's hard to see a real future for a lad who was once City's youth player of the year. Shame.

Funny you should say that but it was only this time last year, and this time the year before that I and many others sat here and said the same about Travis and Buckley... White is REALLY good, I swear to it.

I am yet to see that Buckley is good enough for the first team.

Neat and tidy, did nothing of note. I stand by my initial comment.

Buckley isn’t good enough and Travis was a fluke by Tony

Nobody knows whethr Buckley will make it, and how is Travis a fluke? Signed to our academy, played his way through, got his chance and took it. Just peddling that one really.

That’s rubbish. He’s been the most talented player on the pitch every time I’ve seem him for the u23s. Mind blowing how some can’t spot a player that’s right in front of their eyes.

Nope, he's been dreadful for me. Constantly frustrating Joe Grayson with his lack of movement in midfield when the back three have the ball, and not a shade on Tom White dribbling abilities. Been massively unimpressed. I've seen every Leyland game and the away ones on stream, and just bc I don't rate Davenport doesn't make it mind blowing - no need to insult intelligence its just a matter of opinion.

Yes but you think you’re opinion is best

Right, but I don't insult other people's intelligence because they have a different opinion to me. "mind blowing how some can't spot"

Fair point 

[Oldgregg86]

Admittedly not seen white play but seen quite bit of davenport up until his injury pre season and I had really high hopes of him starting this season next to travis. I can’t imagine he has regressed to the point he is poor at 23 level. I’m hoping your wrong because I usually agree with a lot of your posts. Everyone who saw him play (against Bolton ?) said how well he had done and had high hopes of him before the injury. Did you see his rovers first team debut out of curiosity ?

He was good vs Bolton, and his performances for the 23's may be due to his slight lack of effort for unimportant games etc... but he certainly seems to have regressed slightly. Maybe he still had a niggle I don't know. I like Davenport don't get me wrong, but I'd say definitely there's some issues.

Not insulting your intelligence, just insulting your ability to spot a player if you can’t see Davernport’s talent.

You are... you're saying that because my opinion is different to yours that I'm wrong. That insults intelligence, not necessary. I don't agree that Davenport is playing el
