Youth Players/On-Loan Thread 2020/21

Think we need to dampen down the hype around Skipp. Can be brilliant but he also has his share of absolute stinkers. Like for England U23s a couple of weeks back, all but cost us the win.

I’ve not really seen him play, just the odd cameo for us, I’m not sure what sort of player he is? I know the Norwich fans seem to love him though, for an 18 year old that’s pretty good.

Agree these boys need to develop without all the hype, in the last few years several of our players are raved about by people who have never seen them play a game and they have failed to live up to the hype. The step between youth football and league football is massive and the PL2 system doesnt help gain the experience they need, breaking into a team in the top half of the league is even harder as manager cant afford to gamble.

He seems to be playing centre back of 3.

Are you saying that Skipp is playing in the centre of a back 3?
Maybe he is playing as DM and dropping between the centre backs when Norwich have the ball, so the centre back can split and the full backs can be wingers?

Only from Quest highlights, but that's where he was 2 or 3 times this week. Poss intermittent, or temporary this game, but no spotting him in midfield moves.
 
Good to see three Tottenham in the England U21 squad for next week's games: Brandon Austin, Oliver Skipp and Ryan Sessegnon. No Japhet Tanganga yet so presumably still in recovery.

Edit: no Jack Clarke either, which is slightly surprising given the way Jose's been bigging him up recently.
