RobJames 922 Posted February 17 Has the academy changed things around ? After years of producing goalies, then defenders we now have a number of excellent strikers coming through. This young fellow needs to be on the first team bench as son as possible - that's where you learn your trade, it appears. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Assuming we're still in the Championship we could need two of them to be stepping up. Seems certain that Baath will be off and a fair chance that Gibson will be too. Whatever happens it can only be good for them to be getting experience of competitive mens football. Tomkinson, Warner and Hills all started today (Adegboyega actually came on at half time for Walsall). Hills managed to get himself sent off mind. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yes from what I’ve seen he has the physical attributes to be a top, top player. I’ve been disappointed he’s not got more game time at Walsall so far Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Thirsty Lizard 3,196 Posted February 20 Scored again tonight. 3rd goal for Walsall in a 3-0 win (clean sheet as well of course). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mason 47 1,728 Posted February 20 At this rate I look forward to Wagners revolutionary 6-centre-back formation that takes the league by storm next year. 1 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

FenwayFrank 2,592 Posted February 25 Went ground hopping yesterday, Harrogate v Walsall. Adeboyega is a big old unit which means he can compete physically with men down in league 2. He's a bit rough around the edges and played on the right of a back 3, did pretty well and would probably benefit from another loan in league 1 next season. 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
