dyslexic nam Posted October 19, 2020 Share Posted October 19, 2020 He sure doesn't mind raking people on. Didn't always work out, but I would love to see more Canadian players with the individual skill to beat defenders one on one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WestHamCanadianinOxford Posted October 19, 2020 Share Posted October 19, 2020 Watched a bit of his game over lunch. Still raw, but size and good pace you can't teach. Reminds me a bit of Marko Arnautovic. Direct and tricky for someone his size. Probably has a much better attitude. Exciting prospect.

LeoH037 Posted October 20, 2020 Share Posted October 20, 2020 I have a good feeling with Theo its not a matter of if he'll graduate to the Wolves' senior team... but when. The kid can ball. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colliedor Posted October 21, 2020 Share Posted October 21, 2020 Thought he played pretty well. Looked good and confident on the ball. Made dangerous runs and made some dangerous first time passes. Liked what I saw. If I were to criticize one thing from the game it would be his defending. He seemed to just kinda give up running back at times. That can always be worked on though.

WestHamCanadianinOxford Posted October 26, 2020 Share Posted October 26, 2020 Playing today against some tough opposition for a Premier League 2 game. The centre backs he is facing are James Tomkins and Martin Kelly, who have over 400 Premier League appearances between them. And Christian Benteke just put the Palace u23s up 1-0. Probably a good experience. dyslexic nam 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gian-Luca Posted October 27, 2020 Share Posted October 27, 2020 So is the "U23's" a bit of a misnomer? The guy who scored that first goal for Crystal Palace is a 29 year old former Belgian international. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As far as I know It’s not a reserve squad. It is a 95% u23 league (tbh mostly made up of 18/19/20 year olds) Each team can have up to three (I think) overage players(not including the GK(who can be over age as well. The clubs use it to bring first team players back from injury too to get match fit. Hence why players like that and Danny Drinkwater play... Currently at the top end there are two divisions of PL2 run by the Premier league Div 1 and 2 with promotion and relegation each season https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/2020–21_Professional_U23_Development_League Each club has to be Cat 1 EPPP academy the EFL run a separate league called the PDL with category 2 clubs https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Professional_Development_League Wolves currently play in the 2nd division of the PL2 sorry for the long post just FYI...
