Connor Simpson

[Dazzler]

Any news on how the young lad is progressing? Is he good enough to make the step up?

Early to judge, but believe he was awful in the youth cup final, no better than youngsters being released. Source was reliable, attends every youth team game.

Needs a season out on loan in the conference or league 2

I was under the impression he had a loan out to Lancaster City, was that not the case?

That’s finished. The season is over.

yes but was still allowed to play for our youth team when we saw fit..... i.e. big games.

From all accounts he could be worth £12m......once he is strong enough to run around like Jordan !

Really is silly season now!!

I watched him a couple of times at Lancaster, including their last home game. In that last game he was pretty ineffective although the ball into him wasn’t great. Perhaps most disappointingly for someone his size was his unwillingness on the night to be aggressive when attacking the aerial ball. He got subbed late on - to rub salt in the round his replacement scored (an undeserved) equaliser shortly after.

Another loan spell - probably outside the football league at this stage - might be best at this stage.

He is one for the future - a future that might start in another 12 months.

Send him to Morecambe they are always eager for talented strikers as Ellison can never last more than a few games a time.

We need to remember he's 18. He's a timid Puppy 🙂

I think this lad will come good, just look how much Alan Browne's physical appearance has changed over the past 12 months. Get Connor in the gym on the weight's and watch him bully defenders in 12-18 months time. He's 18 the guy could turn out to be a monster.

I agree with this, i've seen the lad play in the flesh. Looks a decent player but is only 18. If we was to hit the ground running at 18 he wouldn't be in the Championship.

How old was Hugill before he broke through? 23? 24? Still plenty of time for Connor.

Another good shout.
