I think there are big futures for Downes, Woolfenden, Ndaba, Lankester and probably Nydam and Dozzell too. I also think Emmanuel would be more than adequate in League One.
However, I simply do not rate Kenlock. I don't think he's anything more than a lower League One defender at best. He just has so many areas he is poor at. Positioning is all over the place, his passing is poor, his awareness is poor. I think he is comfortably the worst of the group of 'our own' that has featured regularly.
I really hope he goes on to prove me wrong, but I have seen enough to believe that in a few years he'll be nowhere near the Championship / top end of League One. |  |

Agree sadly, I also think Emmanuel us wildly over rated by some on here.
Ok, h can do a stepper but he's in the team to defend and he Looks clumsy and a liability far too often.
Not surprised he couldn't even get into. a Shrews team that is in the bottom 4 of league 1 and that they didn't want to keep him. , |  | | |

... on Saturday at half time I would have completely agreed with your assessment.
But in the second half he massively improved; and started to do a lot better against Ince, and going forward. I think he showed that he has some of the physical attributes and capabilities to be a good full back. Couple of his cut backs and corner flag control were strong.
A good run and come confidence you just never know.
Bree was brilliant on saturday by the way. |  |

He did improve in the second half, still overall had a poor game.
We have the option on his contract but interesting with so many youngsters been tied to longer deals recently nothing has happened on his front and is up in the summer. |  |

based on the last 2 showings i'd probably say he'll be average at L1. and average might just do us fine if we have a few high quality L1 players |  |

Disagree, I think Kenlock is a decent player and is Championship class without doubt. |  |

As a JE fan, how come Rotherham voted him as their young player of the year in their promotion season and wanted him? Hurst loaned him out at Josh was more or less ever present for the Shrews until a new manager took over. I also think Kenlock is underrated too. | |

I've said for a couple of years now, neither Emmanuel or Kenlock are really good enough. They'll have careers in League 1 or 2, but if they didn't come through our academy there really wouldn't be such a clamoring for them to play. |  | | |

According to some he's a better LB than Knudsen.  |  |

Shrewsbury fans didn't love him though, he was said to be enormously inconsistent with some very poor games. In fact one of the chats I had earlier in the season it almost sounded like Spence with us was being discussed.
He'll be what 22 at the start of next season? He needs to do it quick if he's going to convince one of our managers and make it here. |  |

I have no idea about how he'll get on in League 1, he'll probably be just about ok but it's clear he's not good enough to be a Championship regular. He's fine going forwards just a bit too weak defensively but the fact that he keeps going, even when having a poor game, is in his favour. |  |

Did well at Rotherham, not rated at Shrewsbury, replaced at Shrewsbury, but deserves at some point a little run in a Town shirt before dismissing him. | |

I think we've seen enough of Kenlock now to form an opinion. Mine being that he's definitely not up to the championship but may be ok in league one. With Emmanuel i still think it's too early to judge and he did also have a good season last year at Rotherham. Both are getting on though in youth player terms and need to take a serious step next year, or i'd say it would be time for them to be moved on. | | | |

As Rotherham didn't really have any other young players to choose from. If they did, I doubt the award would be going to a loanee. | | | |

Completely disagree. I rate Kenlock and think he will be a good League One player. I also think Emmanuel could do a job - but equally think we need to / could recruit better. | | | |

I don't feel that his forward play is the problem, but a full-back should, first of all, stop crosses coming in. This is not happening on our left flank. | |

Wasn't Kenlock linked with Arsenal when he was a bit younger? |  |

he's got his faults, but so have the other lbs at the club.
unlike downes, emmanuel, woolfenden, lankester, bishop, he's never had a decent run in the team (due to the previous manager's preference for his favourites). give him a proper go now and we'll find out if he's good enough.
mills rates him, and he was a fairly decent full-back! | |

Because he was the only player under the age of 21 to play more than about 2 games |  |

Watched him v Villa. Very quiet, didn’t see him open his mouth once. Seems out of his depth.
I rate Emmanuel though, only sent back due to the management changes at Shrewsbury, otherwise he did well. |  |

He's not perfect but there's no reason he should be. He's never had a run.
He's got good energy, gets forward, skipped past two players at one point on Saturday in great fashion. He's also not afraid to use his right foot and pass forward when he comes inside... And yes that's a dig at Knudsen, shoot me.
Needs to improve ball retention and final ball, but he's worth persisting with. |  |

He looks miles away from being a Championship full back imo, just doesn't have the quality needed defensively or going forward unfortunately. I think League 2, maybe League 1 will be his natural level. He's played nearly 50 games now and has never really looked up to it and he's not really improved much, if at all, since his early appearances. | |

I assume by favourites you mean best players?
At this moment in time, anyone who claims Knudsen isn't good enough for this level and then goes on to claim Kenlock is simply baffles me. | |

Kenlock is top end League one, bottom end Championship in my view. He has an ungainly style of running which I think adversely affects some peoples opinion. |  | | |
