How do you mean see him?Where do you see him ?

Same with wingers ,no ?If you have good centre backs, its rare that you openly look to rotate them.
It's highly unlikely we produce another Madison anytime soon but that doesn't mean others won't be good enough to play at our current levelI wish the lad well but I doubt that he's the next Maddison
Fans and staff alike .off who?
They need to (and have been) strengthen their defenceI personally think of the promoted sides that Leeds have the best chance as they will score goals and sneak a few wins especially at home
Every promoted side needs a massive upgrade on their defensive unitThey need to (and have been) strengthen their defence
So 3 left backs and 3 goalkeepers?Should we have not signed Brau as we already have a full compliment of LBs or is squad size an argument for restricting improvement only an argument at GK?
I don't think that's necessarily true at all. I don't know whether any of them will make it here for sure but some young players can mature quite quickly and respond well when given game time. Andrews is 18 years old and has been in the senior Welsh squad, its quite clear he at least has 'something'.I think if there was someone capable of playing in a top end Championship team among our youth players we would already know, and they would probably have smashed a loan in L1.
The point that you so gracefully missed is that we'll move one of our unwanted LBs on just like we would with excess GKs.So 3 left backs and 3 goalkeepers?
How important is it from a homegrown and age bracket,do we have any issues there?Honestly, just a general gut feel and what has gone in the past. I genuinely hope I'm wrong because would love to see young lads come through, would love it. But if you take Rafa for example, how much football has he played? He needs minutes!
Didn't he make his debut two seasons ago ,albeit a brief substitute but it showed that the managerial staff had faith in him then. And he's had decent loan spells at higher levels than other youths playersI don't think that's necessarily true at all.

Gracefully missed? I was just pointing out the current numbers in the positions you namedThe point that you so gracefully missed is that we'll move one of our unwanted LBs on just like we would with excess GKs.
I think we need it tbh, so many successful teams seem to be blooding the youth early and getting result's, thinking back to Milne's era and Sexton .I don't think that's necessarily true at all.

Where are we moving them onto, there doesn't seem to be much focus from our side or any other clubs around these players, maybe it'll come nearer the deadline but we can't just wish players awayThe point that you so gracefully missed is that we'll move one of our unwanted LBs on just like we would with excess GKs.
He's at a very good point for an 18 year old imo, the most promising player we've had come through for God knows how many years. I hold out a bit of hope for Obikwu too, he looks like he has something a bit different and has that kind of awkward to play against vibe.Didn't he make his debut two seasons ago ,albeit a brief substitute but it showed that the managerial staff had faith in him then.

Wingers are the most substituted position in football due the energy exerted followed by CM then ST - these are the positions that you would typically prioritize 2 per positionSame with wingers ,no ?
Yes a lot of our competitors at Championship level have been way more successful at bringing through youth than us recently. It's really helpful, not least for Kings wallet, if a couple can make it.I think we need it tbh, so many successful teams seem to be blooding the youth early and getting result's, thinking back to Milne's era and Sexton .

Not sure we can tell at 18 where he's going to get to.I wish the lad well but I doubt that he's the next Maddison

No idea about Raphael, he is spoken about well, Lampard doesn't have to mention him at all if he thinks he's shite but that doesn't seem to be the case. It's a big step for him though, i guess he'll either sink or swim at this point.
he played well in a game against rangers but didn't really play muchAndrews had rave reviews after his stint in the SPL last season
Played some part in 11 out of 17 games he was there. It's not too bad for an 18 year old. Got his first international call up during that time. Seems a successful stint to get a first taste of mens football.he played well in a game against rangers but didn't really play much

So we shouldn't have signed Brau then?Where are we moving them onto, there doesn't seem to be much focus from our side or any other clubs around these players, maybe it'll come nearer the deadline but we can't just wish players away

not the point I was makingMadison had only made 12 first team appearances at League One level at the same age. Not saying he is as good as Madison. But appearance wise not far apart for his age.
"In this context, the positions where the most replacements are made during the match are respectively attackers, wide and central midfielders and after these positions, fullbacks and central defenders"

Yeah, only seen anything about the one game against Rangers in terms of praise (plus the words Bellamy had to say).not the point I was making
someone said he was praised highly and he was for that one game then seemed to fall out of favour
