useless Posted April 14, 2021 Share Posted April 14, 2021 Seventeen goals in all competitions, twelve in fourteen in the league for the U23s, four in three for the U18s in the FA Youth Cup, and one in one for the first team in the FA Cup. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OutByEaster? Posted April 14, 2021 Moderator Share Posted April 14, 2021 I think the injuries to Trezeguet and Grealish give him a chance of getting onto the bench for our next one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would be great to see a few of them get a run now, good for their development and sensible to assess them at top level before we go back into the market. Age doesn’t matter, if they’re ready they’re ready. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It'll be good to see regardless. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You’ve seen more than me, but JPB has been around first team squad. Do you think Barry jumps him? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Barry looks a fantastic prospect but I think he needs some physical development before he plays men's football. He is slight in build and cramped up reasonably early on in the Liverpool FA Cup game. I think the big question for the coaches is whether he is ready to go out on loan next season or whether he should stay at BH for another year and get on a programme with Ollie Stevenson to build him up a bit. He is still so young. It would be JPB for me every time. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OxfordVillan Posted April 15, 2021 Share Posted April 15, 2021 Out of all the U23s, Barry looks like the one who could make the 1st team bench AND do a job with 15-20min of games to go. He looks to have filled out a bit, he’s quick, and he seems to mostly come in off the left.....a role we need filling. Oh, and he clearly knows how to put the ball in the net. I really think we should be seeing him on our bench in the next few weeks. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
turvontour Posted April 15, 2021 Share Posted April 15, 2021 I cant see it would do any harm to involve him in one of the last games of the season, especially if our league place is already decided by that point. Interesting he is almost exactly the same age as Bellingham. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GingerCollins29 Posted April 15, 2021 Share Posted April 15, 2021 Serious talent. Ive heard the term serious talent/prospect many times with luke/stefan moore, delfonueso etc. Anyone know how barry compares to those at that age? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They were scoring goals at this sort of rate in the fa youth cup. They generally took well to being introduced to the first team too, but both probably missed that extra 10% of quality that might have seen them have premier league careers. Remember them dominating the two leg youth cup final v everton, which Rooney scored in 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our aim, I believe, should be to get one decent first team squad player out of the academy every year (or at least a decent fee). It seems like we have a real shot of overachieving with this current bunch. The hardest part is keeping their feet on the ground. I am hoping that the characters that we seem to have around the first team - Jack, SJM, Ollie, Mings etc. - who all appear good blokes, can help with this. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gabby got lucky though he came through with a direct manager like MON who used his greatest asset 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Demitri_C Posted April 15, 2021 Share Posted April 15, 2021 Unleash a couple of them against albion. Would like to see kesler and Barry In my view kesler should be on the bench ahead of elmo. Elmos finished here we need to be looking at the future now 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rodders0223 Posted April 15, 2021 Share Posted April 15, 2021 Give him a run out. Season is done. As well as the physical side he did look very raw , trying to run everyone all the time so I am not saying he is ready...but hey instead of moping about a dreary end to the season give us something to shout about Deano.

Ramsey escapes criticism in your eyes for the mistake that lead to the liverpool winner? Hw moved out of the way of the ball he was rightly criticised for that. And also just because onw youngster plays bad doesnt mean the other will, will it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lot difference between criticism and calling somebody lame which you did and yes young players are immune from criticism up to a point considering they are still learning Who is to say it wont happen to Barry or Kesler if they cost us a game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
