Title: Owen Bailey
Post by: philsky on January 17, 2024, 08:25:59 am: I hope the lad's contract is pretty long and if it isn't i'd hunt a pen down sharpish.

Best prospect for years; scouts will be circling.

Took his header well and was pleased to see McGrath get one in from a Corner or Free kick

Bodes well.

Post by: RugbyRover on January 17, 2024, 12:00:42 pm: We were told he was going to solve our defensive midfielder problem by sitting in front of the back four.

McCann just let him of the leash last night and it turns out he's a one man wrecking ball.

I just meant in respect of his versatility Colin. To be honest he used ride a few challenges did Lister, bit of a Rolls Royce of a player.

Post by: Jonathan on January 17, 2024, 02:56:24 pm: He’s very much still developing (as you’d expect) but he’s brilliant isn’t he. Technically sound and a great attitude. As others have said he has to be considered for the captaincy. Our recruitment is much maligned and with good reason at times, but this is certainly one we appear to have got right. Player of the season for me.

Wouldn’t argue with that Jono.
