They also weren't under 18s at the time. I wonder how they would have looked had they been thrown on for a 10-minute cameo when they were at U18 level?
Fair enough, maybe that wasn't your intent (and I'm not saying that starting regularly would be good for him or the team). But as a fanbase we are far too quick to write off our home-grown talent, seem to remember much the same "Not ready" "Too lightweight" "Never going to make it at this level" being thrown around about Scott Twine even at the start of this season. Now he's our most valuable asset (in, admittedly, a not very competitive field)
I think we are quick to write off any player, i think that is just football fans. Adebeyo and Nathan Byrne being good examples

I think will Henry would have come good. Not the biggest but technically good. Was excellent at supermarine and apparently a really good lad as well. Given the total.oiles of shite we had in goal during his tenure and since we could have done a lot worse.
Again for me he just didn't have the stature or physicality to be a league keeper, he looked like a child when he was on the pitch for us. Unfair comparison I know but if you contrast him to Benda who is the same age they are light years apart. You'd back Benda with a high ball against any attacking player every time but I wouldn't say the same for Henry.

Think Bryne was well regarded IIRC but Adebayo is a good example, yes. Obviously a shame to write any player off too quickly, but all the more so when it's "one of our own".

I remember fans being very keen on Adeboyo when he first started here. I know I was. There was a bit of a buzz when we tried to sign him permanently.

After a few games he seemed to lose his mojo. Loss of confidence, maybe?

Then fans started calling him shit, apparently oblivious of the 4-5 weeks when he demonstrated was clearly anything but. The memories of football fans seem to be incredibly short much of the time. I even remember some calling Doughty shit when he was going through a period when he wasn't at his best.
