Antwi

Agreed. He featured in quite a few of the pre-season games and looked handy, not sure why he's not been since!
 
He plays the same position as Williams as far as I'm aware, holding midfielder. With the formation we play there is only one space in the eleven for this position. Considering Williams was our best player last night and looked very accomplished on the ball he won't be losing his place to a player with zero league experience.
 
I believe Antwi is a very talented player and certainly one we should retain and develop. He has done extremely well to progress through the academy and be part of the first team squad. He is however just turned 19 years old and has yet to make his professional debut in a competitive match. The ideal scenario would be that Pool are playing really well, comfortable and winning games and Antwi could come on for 20 minutes, half an hour to gain valuable experience and game time. Also agree with Grumpy, to be used in cup competitions to give the regulars a rest. Being so young, NC will know that you have to handle these young players carefully and although I am sure Antwi must be chomping at the bit to get some game time, under the current circumstances with the way the team are playing, it may do him more harm than good. I truly believe he could more than cover for Robson or Williams but not for the full 90 minutes. Hopefully, if things turn around he will get his opportunity.
 
Cameron was actually developed primarily at Fulham's academy but left and joined Blackpool's academy in his second year as an U/18.
He did look very good in pre--season (along with Nathan Shaw) but as has already been said I don't think it would do him any favours playing at the moment.
 
Playing him now would be a career killer. I think he’s going to be great for us hopefully 🙏 and want him to get some mins on the pitch from the bench when we are performing ok.
