Kenlock, Woolfenden, Jack Lankester, (injury recovery pending) Tristain Nydam (injury recovery pending) Flyn Downes, Andre Dozzell, Idris El Mizouni, Armando Dobra, These are the young men you can expect to push for first team league places, although there's an outside chance that the following could break into reckoning...

The potential of 3-4 of those becoming the main men this season excites me. Also, seems like an absolute age ago that Folami was so, so impressive in that 4-0 win against Reading... | |

Downes and Woolfenden already are the main men, really. It'd be great to see one from the list push on to their level, but it's quite an ask! | | | |

Kenlock . make or break season woolf , proven Lankester , ? Nydam ? Dozz , been around a while , done very little so far El Miz Dobra looks exciting prospect | | | |
"The Kids" on 12:52 - Aug 10 with 1605 views | itfcjoe | They don't all need to be, there are a dozen who have been spoken about as potenital first teamers. There are those who have looked good enough when they did play but picked up bad injuries in Nydam and Lankester Then Dozzell, Morris, Folami who at least at one time had serious potential, and have had a combination of bad loans, bad injuries and bad luck Dobra and El Mizouni as the next kids on the block who look ready to push on Then plenty below them, some a bit older like McGavin, some younger like Crowe or Zak Brown that have had international recognition. They won't all make it, but they don't all need to - just need to give good and proper opportunities to them | |

I think Kenlock's a perfectly decent full back at this level and has potential to be a Championship player under the right manager. Think it was clive_baker who said really he needs someone to blow some smoke up his arse, get him full of confidence, people forget that he was a part of that very solid defensive line that started so well last season! Still, we know Lambert's trying to recruit an experienced head in that position, so we will see... Lankester is probably the one with the greatest chance of being one of the "main men" it all depends on how he's recovered from the injury really, but he was looking very very talented before his spell on the sidelines.

I'm interested in Dylan Crowe, all that fuss about him not signing a deal and the clubs linked with him, then he signs a deal and we hear nothing. I'd have thought he'd have been involved in a few match day squads by now, even if just for the experience! | | | | Login to get fewer ads

Kenlock as a potential Championship player is a bold shout. I really don't see that kind of ability in him. Think League 1 is his ceiling and even that looks a stretch at the moment. | |

He was injured for nearly all of last season, personally I would still have said he is a way off but he may have been able to bulk up to go with his serious pace - probably the quickest player at covering ground at the club | |

Ahh, well that makes sense why I seldom saw his name appear! From the outside it was just interesting that he took so long to decide if he was even going to sign the deal, then heard almost nothing about him the moment he did! Here's wishing him a prosperous professional year! | | | |

I honestly believe Kenlock can be a key player for us. He just needs the vote of confidence from the manager and signing an experienced play for that role is in no way going to give him that. Unless of course the manager tells Kenlock that the new recruit is merely cover and he is considered first choice for the season. He should be played consistently for a few months to prove he can be the player he once showed signs of being. | | | |

"The Kids" on 13:09 - Aug 10 with 1458 views | Darth_Koont | Who knows? Downes and Nydam were over 2 years ago. What's depressing is that Folami and Morris were also getting league games back then. Like Downes, we just have to play them (and Lankester, El Miz, Dobra etc.) more than the odd game here and there. Some won't be good enough for the long term but that's been the same with senior pros too. | |

I agree about Kenlock. I think he gets unfairly maligned at times. He needs coaching but he is actually fairly solid defensively and quick. He's got more ability going forward than some give him credit for. Lambo obv doesn't fancy him but he was part of that back four that started season well. | | | |

But he has had runs in the side and he hasn't played very well. Lambert gave him a good run in his first season here and he didn't look up to it and he started last season with the left back position as his own but despite the team picking up points, his individual performances weren't good enough. That's why he was dropped and barely featured again. He turns 24 in a few months and he's not really improved since he first broke into the team. It's a shame as I like to see our youngsters do well but I don't really see anything in Kenlock that makes me think he's good enough, let alone that he can be a key player for us.

If I was to guess I'd say that every time I praise Kenlock you're within the first two posts and you're right there to put him down. Still, I guess the same could be said of me and Knudsen, so play on... | | | |

His biggest problem is that he isn't very solid defensively. He gets on ok at this level as the quality of the opposition isn't as good but he gets caught out too much and allows crosses to come in that should have at least been made a bit more difficult. His strongest attribute is that he never looks like giving up, even if he's having a bad game he'll keep plugging away which to me makes the 'he plays within himself' argument flawed. He gives it as good as he's got, which is great, but we should be aiming for better. That said, if he ends up having to play at least half the season at LB I wouldn't be too bothered as it's not a priority area of concern and he's a round peg in a round hole. | |

Fair dos. I would much prefer you to be correct on this one. Nothing would make me happier than seeing him mail down a place in the side and flourish. | |
