Do you honestly believe that the manager, who spent the summer bemoaning the tiny budget he has to work with, would be furious if the player on the lowest wages at the club starts making an impact on the first team? Every manager at this level is praying for a kid to come through the academy good enough to be playing week in, week out. They just don't come through very often.Percy plunkett wrote: September 18th, 2023, 11:03 pm So if a player isn’t good enough for Watford then he can’t be good enough for us,bizarre logic there I would say.I bet GC was pissed right off when Rai scored against Brentford,he probably had him pencilled in for a season loan at Pontypridd.Mind you,his reward for scoring that goal was to be left out of the 18 for two games,he made the squad on Saturday but didn’t get on,even though Evans was out on his feet and may have an injury because of it.
Clubs at the Premier League level, with all their highly qualified coaches, money and elite-level facilities have difficulty bringing players through - never mind a League 2 club without a permanent training base.
