Tristan Nydam 12:54 - Jun 27 with 6244 views | clive_baker | I've heard good things, how likely are we to see him get involved this season? If Bishop can get and stay fit he could be like a new signing. Plus Nydam, Dozzell, Huws, Ward, Webster, Rowe, Celina, Kenlock. Some exciting young players potentially, I hope to see a few of them kick on this season. With the experience around them of Bart, Taylor, Chambers, McGoldrick, Garner etc. we could potentially have a side worth watching. COYB. | |

Think he'd have been involved last year if stays fit - him and Doz a great combo as Nydam has serious energy - like Dyer did | |

Tristan Nydam on 13:49 - Jun 27 with 6043 views | Vic | I really hope, and expect, this to be the season that Dozell emerges as a player of real worth. It's a massive season for Bishop as well. If he doesn't kick on then he'll spend his whole carer in div 1 or 2. Nydam pushing through with a few games ready for this time next year would be great, but what would be even better is if he could burst into the scenes like Bishop did, but manage to keep it up. Other teams have 17 or 18 yr olds that play 20 games a season and show real talent. Used to happen with us in the past, all the way back to the mid 70's - Warky, Burley, Dozzer an, then again with Wright and Dyer and Bramble. It's about time we had another one or two. | |

Either way, it's good to hear of a talented youth coming through | |

Because unless they are incredibly good, there is not enough reward for doing it. You won't be as competitive with a very young player in the team, and the division is incredibly competitive. Everyone is trying to squeeze that extra 10% out of them. And we do it better than most, as hard as that is to believe. | |

May be more to do with how physically demanding the game is now, the players are true athletes compared to past eras when drinking and smoking was often the norm. One of the last youngsters we had come through in that way must have been Wickham? He was a big physical specimen. | |

I really hope his mentality/attitude can stay strong and well-grounded during the process of transition to the first team. Seems to be a particular danger.. | |

I'm guessing because of the number of young players who go off the rails/have questionable attitude problems/find the pressure hard to deal with after breaking through. Jet, Bishop, Sonny Pike, Benyu, O'Conner, Morrison, Adu, B.Clarke v2, Logan, that 15 year old lad from Barnsley etc. * not suggesting all of the above have attitude problems, but they have all struggled with certain issues.

Yes, that is exactly what I was alluding to. Making the step up seems to come with a particular set of stresses, temptations and challenges. The late teens is not necessarily the easiest phase of life anyway, now suddenly they are presented with vast prospects and serious income - plus intense pressure and scrutiny. Not everybody is able to keep a grip under those circumstances and, of course, if a player's concentration and/or fitness falters, at this level they will quickly find themselves falling away, out of the manager's plans. Seasons slip by and all too soon they end up in the category of "not having fulfilled their potential". I'm making a generic point, not specifically saying anything about Nydam and his level-headedness. | |

I don't think anyone can expect anything like 20 games a season. If Nydam gets on the bench 5 times and the field once or twice, perhaps in the cup that's real progress. If I was Dozzell I would be targeting 10 appearances and pushing for that, it's a healthy ambition IMO. Bishop should be targeting getting fit and establishing himself in the side, as should Webster. Kenlock should have ambitions to be first choice at left back ahead of Knudsen. Huws and Ward should be looking to kick on and improve on last season, establishing themselves as firm fixtures in the midfield. | |

I wouldn't be against Dozzell starting the season on loan and getting lots of first team games in ready to step up. Last year was such the wrong season for him, the side was all wrong and he suffered for it. If the U23's can't give him the right challenge, then a short stint away to come in with some experience and momentum might be just what he needs. It's really Bishop and Hyam that should be fighting for berths in the squad this season, if we get Huws and McGinn/another I'd like to see the kids who didn't quite cut it last season given regular matches as we seem to be doing with Emmanuel. | |

Sounds about right. The key is taking your chance when you get an opportunity- Bishop did it previously, I think Kenlock did it last year. Neither Emmanuel or Dozzell have done as yet but both have time on their side | |
