Should be on the bench.

Wouldn't it be great if Jamie got a chance? I remember 10 years ago when we didn't have a pot to piss in a lot of youngsters came through including strikers. Now for some reason managers are scared to gamble with young players.

From starting for sure but the bench could still be an option.

I know that he isn't in the squad for tomorrow however I do believe he should be given a chance. From speaking to him I know that he believes he is ready and it's just a case of Trollope being brave enough to give youngesters like this a chance, even if it is ten minutes. Who knows, we will have to wait and see!

I haven't seen this lad play, but he started on the bench today against Sunderland, surely if he was half decent he would be nailed on to start.

I have been told his goal today was pretty special though anybody know where we can see it

should definitely be on the bench. desperate for pace in the squad and home fans would respond well to a few local youngsters getting a chance.

there are a few in the under 23 team that deserve a place on the bench at least.

Watched him last season at Ystrad mynach v Risca Utd in a cup game! He was 1 of a number of players who were out playing for barry!

He looked head and shoulders above most in that game!

I've seen a few games with some of our dvp players in! Some real potential!

I can't understand though why Tommy osullivan isn't around the first team squad!, He's way too good to be playing dvp football! He needs to be playing first team league football! Same for Theo Wharton too!

He's got a few worldies on youtube where he beats half a team etc but tbh never seen him play so can't comment on weather he's ready.
