I was discussing the quality of the player and whether he is a good central midfielder. he`s ok in the middle,bit of a mokoena type,passing is a bit suspect but good at tackling,quite quick but his reading of the game is`nt great,certainly have seen worse midfielders at rovers in my time,he`ll do a job off the bench,which is the best way to use him,squad player at best Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes I know it’s probably a load of codswallop! A well placed journo on Twitter has just said deal close to being agreed and JPvH will be travelling out to Portugal to join pre season squad.

Ossydave Posted June 27, 2022 Share Posted June 27, 2022 Great new on Philips signing the new contract judging by how highly rated he is 💙🤍 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ricky Posted June 27, 2022 Share Posted June 27, 2022 Ash turned 17 over the weekend so assuming he couldn’t sign a contract until then so maybe it is a recent pic. Anyone know if he’s out in Portugal? It May be him and Carter filling the voids but I’d be concerned about that tbf. I think we need one older head and then give Carter a season with Philips being around the first team and used in the cups this season.

Wheelton Blue Posted June 27, 2022 Share Posted June 27, 2022 I fear that peoples' expectations of Phillips are getting a bit much. Hasn't the lad has only played a dozen or so games for the U23s? 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hasn't the lad has only played a dozen or so games for the U23s? I agree he's currently getting a bit too much praise and attention than is probably healthy for a young player at his stage, last thing he needs is to be getting a big head before he's even played 1 professional game. Hopefully when he's ready he does reach is potential with us though Edited June 27, 2022 by Armchair supporter supremo 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let's not use my word as gospel, I'll get a lot of stick for that! I do think he's a generational talent, he's the best player in the country at his age and the only thing that could stop him for me is injuries (which is a fear for all young players). Glad to hear he's signed a 3 year deal from July 1st. Great news. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think Batty should be knocking on the door right now tbh, looks class whenever I watch him. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Backroom Tom Posted June 27, 2022 Backroom Share Posted June 27, 2022 You’ve got to be a bit more mindful of throwing young defenders in, the exuberance of youth can be a blessing for forwards as the outcome can be glory with less risk. For defenders they play with the same fearlessness but can get exposed, Phil Jones debut was sensational but I remember a young Jay McEveley getting a lesson for getting carried away and over committing against Liverpool or United at Ewood If Ash is as good as we hear though I imagine we’ll see him this season Sam Barnes seems to go below the radar but has travelled with the team, captained the under 23’s at times as well I believe 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
