Amidst the bad news, the contentious news and the maybe-slightly-better-news-round-the-corner our youth team qualifying for the third round of the cup (away to Swansea) is wholly welcome. Of course they all deserve praise but a 6'4" 17 year-old centre back coming up to score with a towering header lifts the heart. Apparently Marshall Willock is also impressing on his loan at Kettering.
Let's get him on a water-tight decent length contract now before the offers start coming in and turning his head too. (I know ours will be rotating once we realise we have a marketable asset on our hands.) If he were to put in a commanding performance at Swansea they might not be the only Premier side eyeing him up.
Whoever scouted and recommended him deserves credit (surely not Mr Pickle?) It would be nice to get at least a season of first team football out of him before we sell.
