SaintJackoInHurworth Posted 5 November, 2015 Share Posted 5 November, 2015 I have tried zooming in on the squad photo and worked out who is who in the photo despite it being very blurry when zooming in like that! However, it appears that of the current first squad players all who are not on loan are in the photo with the exception of Sam McQueen. Does this indicate that while his photo may be on the website as a first team player he is not currently considered good enough for the first team? I don't know about anyone else, but I am always delighted to see 'one of our own' come through the ranks, but at the moment apart from JWP, Harry Reed and Lloyd Isgrove there isn't much sign of many players promising to make the step up and even Harry and Lloyd seem to be struggling to break through. I guess it is somewhat understandable as the level they now need to reach to break through is that much higher than it was a few years ago. I think it is to JWP's credit that despite his detractors on here he continues to develop as a player and to get selected in the side - at least occasionally, anyway.

sadoldgit Posted 5 November, 2015 Share Posted 5 November, 2015 Pah, no depth to the squad. You would think they would be able to find a stand-in for the photo call! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

disconnect Posted 6 November, 2015 Share Posted 6 November, 2015 McQueen's always looked good when I've seen him. Certainly better than most of the players he's playing against in the under 21s. Surprised he hasnt made a few sub appearances or gone out on loan to a decent League One or maybe Championship side. Probably hasnt cos our other players arent being played though!

The9 Posted 6 November, 2015 Share Posted 6 November, 2015 Somehow I managed to miss my team's pre-season photo every single season despite playing for the best part of 30 years. It takes a remarkable ability to get injured or change clubs just before the season starts (or poor organisation on the part of the club to get someone with a camera there) to achieve that. There are team shots in existence, but they're either mid-season when someone pitched up with a camera, before a cup final, or non-competitive tournament type ones. In unrelated news, why's it taken until November to produce this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SNSUN Posted 6 November, 2015 Share Posted 6 November, 2015 He is in it. He's in the middle row between JRod and Clasie. I meant Matt Targett is another youth player who's made the step up and broken through, in response to the OP second paragraph. Should've made that clearer. :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hutch Posted 7 November, 2015 Share Posted 7 November, 2015 The squad pic is covered by a PL rule (isn't everything?). It covers who should be in it and there is a deadline to be delivered to PLHQ. I can't remember but it might be 1st September. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
