Anybody know what type of player he is? Noticed he gets a few for the Under 18's. Just wondering if he may be worth a run at some point. Can't be any worse than what we've got & would be game time with a view to next season in mind, presuming he gets offered a pro contract & wants to stay.

Pretty much. He’s desperate for game time, but he’s better off out of it at the minute with that pigeon in charge. |

Didn't he play a game or two earlier in the season?

More than likely. But could end up thriving. You never know until you try I suppose. Anyway, what type of player is he? Targetman, poacher, channel runner? Anybody know? |

He sounds like a scoundrel out of an episode of George Gently.

He looked a similar size to Tyler Smith. So not a target man. Looked a long way off L1 or L2 standard. |

Bit harsh off the back of, what, 10-15 minutes on the pitch? |

I'd say that's pretty generous given Theakston had written off Archie Matthews as a professional footballer within about a minute of seeing him. |

I watched him in all of his 3 appearances.
He is small and runs around a lot, getting in the mix and harrassing defenders.
More like Bryan Wade (for the oldies) or close to Payne's style chases around but is a bit off the actual pace.
He is nowhere near the level to play for the 1st team yet IMHO, but with careful nurturing he could be a first teamer in future years but playing him would do his confidence no good whatsoever.

He played 70 mins at Rovers from the off last season in the Mickey Mouse cup as well as 2 sub appearances this term. |

I've seen Matthews play about a dozen times if you include his loan moves and youth cup so it wasn't based on 'a minute'. He's just clearly nowhere near 1st team level just another in the long line of youth keepers who hang around a bit but aren't football league standard like Craig Farr, Matty Bulman, Mark Scott, Leigh Bedwell even Will Henry. Only one that should have done better than he did was Jon Stewart. As for Parsons, he's best off steering clear this season as a few games with this mob could finish him off before he's even started. |

We don't have a particularly solid record of producing keepers to be fair. Who was the last one that came through the youth ranks to have a good career? I'm thinking Rhys Evans, but I think he was produced by Chelsea and sold to us IIRC. |

I'd forgotten about the Boycott Cup tbf, but this season he's had about 10 minutes at the end of a game we'd already lost and 3-4 minutes at the end of another game I can't remember what the state of play was. But given it was this season, I assume we lost. Don't think that's enough to judge a player on personally but I'd agree with what you and others have said that this squad this season doesn't look like an especially healthy environment in which to nurture a young player's fledgling career. He did however manage to do more than the 1st team did last week, and beat Oxford at the weekend. |
