Yeah it was Lafferty
Yeah Dan Lafferty apparently, had lots and lots of injuries and couldn’t put a run of games together. The club have a few prospects in that position, including a 17yo they’re taking on the tour, so it was probably right for club and player.
Can’t be a bad thing at all but he looked about 12. Grew into the second half with a good save and a good punch clear but first half had no command of any crosses

His Dad would be looking down and so proud. I'm really pleased for him yet sad that his Dad never got to see it.It must have been an amazing experience for Shay Young to make his debut, 16 year old lad from Rugby in his first scholarship year.
Well done Shay!
Must be talented... Looked dead small between the sticks... Wish him all the best.Interesting that our keeper today was on the books of Liverpool, Everton and Blackburn.
Such a shame... Life can be a right fuckerHis Dad would be looking down and so proud. I'm really pleased for him yet said that his Dad never got to see it.
He would have been buzzing. I scouted Shay as an 8 year old and his dad was so excited about him being in the Academy.Such a shame... Life can be a right fucker
Not for the past 3/4 years but probably 10 years previouslyYou scout for the Acadamy then ?
Those two brothers coming through might do alright ya know!Not for the past 3/4 years but probably 10 years previously
What are scouts told to look out for in young players? Like under 13s I meanWhilst I’m happy to take credit for them both, I only actually only introduced the youngest one to the academy. Although there are two other brothers coming through. Brad who scored the first goal yesterday and his younger brother a couple of years younger that I did bring both in
I've wondered that too, as I had a couple of mates scouted that I didn't think were much better than the rest of us when quite young. Neither made it as most probably don't to be fair, but looking at kids playing now I see it as being composed with the ball, but well balanced rather than simlly rapid, when running without the ball.What are scouts told to look out for in young players?

Just curious
Yeah just wondered what look out for as the sport changes and reforms at grassroots etcI've wondered that too, as I had a couple of mates scouted that I didn't think were much better than the rest of us when quite young.

How many 16 year old kids dominate on crosses against a senior men's team tbf?
Things will change with self isolation I think in elite sportDoesn’t bode well for the season ahead does it? We’re all Rotherham now.

Elite sport will be before then I reckonSelf-isolation to be eased for fully vaccinated adults in step 4 This will naturally change it.
The way the EFL allowed Rotherham to keep postponing games has also set a precedent. Other clubs will now expect the same treatment.Doesn’t bode well for the season ahead does it? We’re all Rotherham now.
Sorry yes, I just mean it won't be an issue for the whole seasonElite sport will be before then I reckon
