I do wonder with Joseph just how much of his good form at youth level is due to his size allowing him to physically dominate & "bully" his peers in the same age group, and if so,will that translate if/when he steps up to first team level

 

You have probably seen more of him than most on here, what are your thoughts?

Makes me think of Lewis Mansell and Keith Barker of Rovers youth yesteryear. Target men forwards who scored for fun at U18s and a fair few at reserve level, I think, but found it harder once faced by older defenders.

Joseph looks like one to watch, though, and will be welcome in the U21s, for sure, where the forwards are struggling.

Liverpool did a nice write up for us, shame our own club haven't bothered yet with anything beyond a graphic

Didn't realise at the time, but Patrik Farkas' brother was on the bench for Liverpool
