Has he got any homework to do this coming weekend....? #SaintsVPalace #inatthedeepend #nothingtolose

Wonder strikes too… 👀

Heard a story about Dibling a few months ago.

Saints turned up at a tournament and soon as they got off the coach a Man Utd rep came over and asked if Dibling was with them because they wanted to see how their apparently amazing full back "who hadn't been beaten all season" would fare against him.

By the end of the first half Dibling had skinned this kid repeatedly and scored a hat trick.

From what I hear he has everything. Other clubs have constantly been after him, talking to his parents at games etc but his family are really decent, grounded people and know that Saints is the best place for him to learn and be given opportunities, hence the contract in the article above.

The names everyone needs to be keeping an eye on are Doyle, Dibling, Ballard, Morgan and Pearce. There's plenty more but these are the 5 who are really pushing on.

Another one, but I believe from the year below them, is Will Merry. I know an academy player and he described his dribbling as the best he's ever seen and like "Tyler Dibling on steroids"

It truly seems like we have another golden crop coming through and this will be a very exciting time. For now we just need to enjoy watching their progress.

Really hope to see this kid and Ballard (amongst anyone else deserving I may not have heard of) in and around the squad for the last few games.

Indeed.

By the way, am I imagining it or has this been the first season in a while where we haven't seen the semi-regular appearance of a 'new face' from the academy/U18/U23 teams on the 1st team bench? Can't remember the last time we had a prospect on the bench (cue someone probably reminding me that it was only a few weeks ago or suchlike!)

Think it's only Small who has been given that opportunity.

The fact the 18's are going for the league has meant they are putting strong teams out. This may have had an impact on any bench appearances for those players. Maybe we'll see the odd one get in the match day squad when their season has finished.

Someone mentioned similarities to Smith-Rowe and now I can't unsee it.

He is a player who has proven himself to have incredible end product this season - he just strikes the ball so cleanly. That is something very hard to teach. This kid looks to share that.

The last one is the best one, strength and balance to hold off the defender and the strike is the sweetest. 

We need a goalscoring no.10.......

He took it early as well, brilliant goal.

He looks a unit already too.

Goes without saying, but I'd expect incomings if we lose Dibling/Doyle, coupled with Olaigbe & Watts both loaned out.

Good chance for last seasons 18's & this years intake of scholars to step up, too.

Saints B: Bycroft; Payne, Tizzard (Pambou, 80), Lancashire, Lawrence (Rodriguez, 83), Vokins, Doyle, Edwards (Bellis, 70), Morgan (Otseh-Taiwo, 70), Ferry, Pearce.

With Diamond Edwards scoring today and recently featuring in friendlies for the senior side, he must rank quite high in Ralph's thinking for first team football soon.

No sign of Kayne Ramsay again? Has he gone out on loan?

They'd have posted if it was a loan. He must be injured...or with the first team!

Expand  

Some Barnsley fans on their forum seem to think he is heading to them. So perhaps he is training with them ahead of a loan move like Chauke did at Exeter.

Good luck to him. I would quite happily play for Pompey and send Saints down if I were on £10k a week at 16 and he doesn't even have an emotional affiliation to us.

Diamond Edwards looks quick. Centre of everything in attack. Would be interested to see him in a cup game or maybe brought off the bench in a league fixture if we need a spark.

Expand  

Needs to sign a new contract.

But he certainly looks a more rounded player than, say, Tella - good technique on him.

Whilst many fans are lamenting Tyler Dibling's move to Chelsea... perhaps some may have overlooked

the fact that  Dom Ballard scored 22 goals last season  ( 17 times for U18, and 5 for B team.)

Both lads had similar number of apps. for both sides, but apart from his fantastic hat-trick game @ Newcastle,

Dibling didn't make it to double figures during the whole season.      Hopefully ........we may have kept the right player.

He got 2 against Watfords u23 yesterday, Morgan got one and Edwards another! Agreed, even with Dibling gone, we’ve got Ballard, Edwards, Pearce, Payne and Morgan all coming through who seem to be strong!

I’m sure I also saw concern that Doyle might be leaving with Dibling but he played 90 for us yesterday

I heard somewhere that Doyle can sign a pro deal from tomorrow, but is free to walk anytime before he does. Let's hope he signs.

So talent wise who looks like they are going to be the next big thing? 

Diamond Edwards

Doyle

Ballard

 

Anyone else?

Lewis Payne apparently has something about him too.
