If anyone didn’t already love this lad then how can you not after watching this interview. Let’s hope he can fulfil his dreams. I’m sure it won’t be through lack of trying!
Agreed. Let's hope that the coaching team can help him achieve the improvement that he wants. I think they will!

I've been fairly underwhelmed by Lloydd, he never seems to be completely in control of the ball. However, against Luton I thought he was very good, using his pace and energy to help push Luton back. Should of got 2 goals mind. Really hope he can push on. Just surprised we haven't seen him used as in the wide positions as he has pace to burn like BOS.
He was early on, as was Kolli, but they both got exposed defensively. Chair is our best player and Smyth our quickest, but they're also both defensively hard-working and that's why they're first choice, and why Saito backs up both of them. I don't think Lloyd or Kolli lacks commitment, but both of them struggled in that role. In our system the lone striker still has to press from the front (and Frey made a big difference when he came back because he works very hard at that), but it isn't as immediately fatal if they get it wrong because they're better-supported, particularly now that we have Morgan's legs in there too. It's a better role for Lloyd's pace and energy at the minute, because it doesn't ask as much of him in that sense, plus central defenders who've just spent an hour getting bashed about by Michy Frey aren't thrilled to then have to handle a player like Lloyd who has both speed and strength.

I think it’s great to see these young lads starting out in the game and doing well. Some of their interviews are so honest and enthusiastic it makes you laugh. Like you’ve said, this must permeate through the club with senior players being pleased for the kids and generally there’s just a good vibe. Now that we’re all experiencing this it brings it home just how much this aspect of football has been completely absent from the club for years and years.

The club’s focus on youth and development seems to be the best it’s been for decades: well overdue and we should reap the benefits over the coming years. Credit to the current regime is due.

He has a chance........good attitude on the pitch, strong, brave, works hard. Needs to take his his goal chances & relax when he has the ball at his feet.

Praise be to Les, Chris Ramsey, Paul Hall, and the rest of the YT. These players didn’t suddenly drop out the sky this season.
Kolli been with us since 2015 and Lloyd 2021.
Fair play to Marti for being brave enough to pick them too.
I’ll assess the current setup’s policy on producing players in 5-10 years, but credit due for the signing of Morgan and Morrison.
