He's clearly very talented technically. More so than Blissett. Just needs to bulk up, which will come with time.

But he is nowhere near what we need as a centre forward.
What is the point of playing him for 10-20 games, only for him to be pushed and pulled around by the opposition ceaselessly. He has to learn how to handle himself in a man's game, not with tippy tappy football that the youngsters play.
Loan him out to get that experience of being able to handle himself and he just MAY develop to be what we are looking for in a couple or three years time, a la Isaac Vassell!
Neilz5419":38v1pnsm said:Completely agree with jimsing. I understand people's views of giving him game time and how on the face of it that might develop him. I think at his stage showing promise getting bashed around by league one defenders may knock his confidence, and as much as he may get cheered for coming on, give it a few games and the fans could be getting on his back as chances get missed, especially as he would most likely be coming on as a hope of getting back in the game potentially a goal down with 10 minutes left, or he simply can't do what's needed at this level. That could massively damage his confidence, think it would be better to play at a lower level where he hasn't got so much expectation on his shoulders and can grow as a player and come back stronger. Also from argyles point of view we can't gamble on him being able to change games at this level as survival is paramount for this season. I can't see any league 2 side even taking this kind of punt on an unproven youngster let alone us.

Taylor-Sinclair and Songo'o. Sokolik is defensive cover, Ness is CM cover.
Te Loeke, Sokolik, Ness, Lameiras, Ainsworth, Wylde, Fletcher.

Need left-back cover other than Carey IMHO. Reasonable shout about Songo'o although he does cover more than 1 position.
Yeah, maybe Wylde
