I'm not sure he could do much about them. Horrific defending in front him.
I don’t know I just think he could have done better with two of them. Looks very late at reacting to any goal bound shots. Sorry just an opinion but he doesn’t look like a natural keeper.

You need game time in men's football in your late teenage years / early 20's. Players who leave for the "Big Club" hardly ever get any game time which then stops their growth. Watched a documentary on youth football and most of the academy graduates first contract is often the best of their careers. Loads get to 20/21, are released and become disillusioned with football and drift out of the game.

I thought Preston was a good move for Bayliss for this very reason, still having a decent career at league 1 level.

The lower leagues and non-league are littered with lads who were in bigger academies but couldn’t make the grade for one reason or another.

Remember that stunning goal he scored at the Ricoh. Dubbed "Stevenson's Rocket".

I thought he was going to be the next Maddison level player for us when he scored that goal.
Another player where I wonder what would have happened if he'd stayed here a bit longer. Was he the one where his parents had told the manager he was unwell so couldn't play or am I misremembering?

I certainly remember there being rumours of his parents interferring and more or less giving the "Ben won't be coming into school today" thing.
