Just seen that Coventry have signed one of the boys that Brighton nicked off us during admin. Could've been nice to reunite with hum.

A really odd move in the end. Hardly played for their U18s in the season he joined them. A regular the following season (19 league apps out of 24). Then nothing for their U23s this season, but was given a 45 minute trial by Stoke in August (a game they lost 10-1).
From what I understand, Brighton released him in January.

If you think back to that Chorley FA cup game, where we had to put out the academy lads against non-league defenders, the big issue was our lack of physicality. We just got out-muscled and couldn't let out superior technical skills shine. When you watch Brown play against teams at this level, you see none of that, he looks big and strong and his better movement and technique is shining though. Obviously that doesn't guarantee he'd be good enough at higher levels, but it's certainly a good start.
It was also a decimated U23 side, with several of them regularly training with the first team so became unavailable due to the Covid group thingy.
Yates was possibly 5th choice GK, behind Ravas, Idem, Sykes-Kenworthy, and Foster.
Outfield, we were missing: Archie Brown, JBrown, Cashin, McDonald, Watson, Dixon, Shonibare, Wilson, Mitchell-Lawson, Hector-Ingram and Stretton.
Festy had only just returned from injury and was only fit enough for a spot on the bench.

Brown has earned a start in the league tonight. It would probably take a goal to keep his starting spot at the weekend.

What's happened to the young lad we got from rangers last summer?
Still in u21s?
On loan to Glentoran. Struggled to get into the U21s earlier in the season and chances seemed limited int he 2nd half. He's scored 2 goals in 6 apps (219 mins) since joining them.

Fotmob says the trialist is someone called Brendan Kiernan
A 31 year old who joined Palace to have the same role as we've given Bradley Johnson?

Delighted for the lad. It will give him bags of confidence to move forward .
That said having watched four of his goals for Gateshead now, I think he still has a way to go before he's ready for our first team. I reckon a season long loan would be good for him next season, possibly with a League 2 side.
I thinknit would be 6 months in L2 followed by 6 months in L1, or a L1 side to taking a punt on him for the full season.

Based on the very limited number of times I had seen him play , I thought he was the most promising CB to have come through our academy since the early/mid 00's. I thought he was a 'complete CB' - good on the ball, decent pace, and strong in the air.
