How close is Coates to being involved with the first team, we're crying out for a right back. Presuming by the end of this month/mid March we’re going to do nothing then I don’t see why why he wouldn’t be given games then tbh. He’s not had the best of games today though imo. Very good finish though.

I've seen him play left back before Xmas on YT and was very impressed with him and think from what I've seen hes a better left back than right back

Wouldn't surprise me if he gets a couple of games end of season..... On the other hand he's stated that the current bunch of academy players are not as far in their development as those he started to introduce towards the end of last/beginning of this season, and furthermore he seems very happy to have Collins as rb, with Chester and Souttar in the middle. So while I would like to see Coates come in, I think he'll have to wait awhile yet.

Norton should have just scored.
1 on 1 with the keeper and just signalled where he was going to shoot tbh.

He's taken Coates, Porter and Forrester into the first team environment, so they are the 3 on his radar I would imagine although Porter is injured......

The latter two were already on the bench last season but have still not made their debuts. MON's more looking to the future than the present where they are concerned.

Marge looked a clinical finisher with the right service, Goodwin looked a big unit in the u23's, imagine his size will cause problems, didn't see enough really to judge a raw talent,

Coates & Norton show enough each game that they should definitely be on the 1st team fringes for sure though, I think Coates already is

It was a very scrappy game on a really heavy pitch.
Marge barely touched it before he scored but what a cracking finish it was.
Goodwin tried to bully people.
But a difficult pitch to play on.
Everyone played their part though in the end.
Jones at left back was about our best player but Forrester, Taylor and Sparrow all did really well too.
Good win.

I'm sure he will slowly introduce them when they are ready
A bit more space in the first team squad training group with the departure of Gregory, Verlinden possibly Ryan
Souttar, Campbell, Collins were all introduced gradually

Yes, I can't see anyone beating Leeds to the automatic spot but we must have a good chance of finishing 2nd to 5th and reaching the playoffs. If we keep our current run going we'll be the form team in the playoffs.

Sunderland are second from bottom in the league but if they won their games in hand they'd be above us... It's incredibly tight (as I imagine most youth leagues are)

Varian has moved to the right from the look of it. Goodwin looks massive. Good! We could do with a forward who punches his weight! I remember watching Duncan Edwards play a few months before Munich - two of my uncles supported Man U and took me to Old Trafford. For a youngster he was amazingly imposing and played like someone with far more experience. I've been hoping for Stoke to find a youngster with that sort of maturity ever since. You, me and every club and their fans have been hoping for such a find - and STILL looking after 63 years!!

Can’t really remember watching him before if I’m being honest. But he was good today.

What happened to that young French striker we got in the summer? Has he been quietly released - or is he injured?

We've been playing all sprts of people there, Bauer, Coates, and mostly Macari. So I was thrilled to learn that he was our new discovery, but yeah we should probably watch him there again, before selling Fox and Nozzie...

I don't know the answer, but we have all sorts of players out on loan in places we've never heard of. When it comes to youth players, their comings and goings are frequently without the fanfare that seniors get.

I'm sure he was on the bench recently, Wolves game maybe?
