Will Roberts gets a squad number

Coventry City U18's winger Will Roberts has been given a first team squad number.
Roberts, who joined City from Wrexham nearly two years ago, has been given the number 38 in City's first team squad.

The Welsh U18 and U17 international has scored five goals for Greg Rioch and Lee Carsley's side this season.'

Any chance he may get a run out?

Baker looked shot on Tuesday. Absolutely nowhere near match fit. If Sheff is carrying an injury as it seemed against Millwall and David Bell continues to be David Bell, got to be worth thinking about putting a winger on the bench don't you think?

Was he the one being raved about when we got him from Wrexham? I can't remember

Would love to see some of the younger lads get a run out this weekend against Doncaster! We need fresh players who haven't been fighting this losing battle all season.

David Bell is no way good enough for the Championship, Norwich saw us coming with that one, so I'd love to see Roberts getting his chance wide right! Him and Clarke pushing up would be a very pacey attack!

WILL ROBERTS (right winger, Coventry City)
From Denbigh, has represented Wales in the Victory Shield at schoolboy level, and at U17 level.
Davies says: “Will came with his brother Tomos, who then went to Manchester United, and now the same thing has happened to him with Coventry coming in for him.”

I've heard him mentioned a few times, can't say I've seen him play. If he is a winger and has a bit of talent he'll catch the eye of others quickly.

Could do with history repeating it's self with regards Bell:-

Bell scored his first goal for Coventry on 21 March 2009 with a 45 yard strike against Doncaster at the Ricoh Arena

If you are thinking in terms of a winger who is quick and has dribbling skills, then Roberts will disappoint you. He is a good player in a good team, but not especially eye catching!
He is a modern winger in that he delivers the ball early (from the right) rather than get to the byline. He does have an eye for a goal however. I read a lot of hype about him when he joined us
but can't say that he has often stood out. Clarke-Harris is the one I am looking forward to seeing progress into the first team, but maybe the next two matches are too early for him.

Well Willie, I hope your lying, because if Roberts does play and doesn't instantly dribble pass 3 defenders with pace and trickery, then strike it into the top corner them I am gonna be forced to boo him.

We need to plan for next season now so we do need to bring some of the youth lads into the act IMO! Drop Clingan and Crainie, and anyone else out of contract!

Not going to happen I know but now our fate has been decided and these two won't be resigning I don't see why try should stay in te team for the last two games

I'm now of the opinion that he only scored that 45 yard strike because he couldn't be arsed to run with the ball!
