Keenan Gough signs new long term contract (Nov 2025)

RugbyAddick · January 26

I agree starting against a strong Millwall side may not have been ideal, but what about Derby? Or Sheffield Utd?

he’s started twice. Held his own twice. Was our best player vs Blackburn away. Didn’t look like the weak link vs Chelsea.

Play well, get dropped. Just weird. Nathan Jones is weird.

Here we go again. One of our youth players is decent for 15 minutes of playing time and now he should be either starting or one of the first players off the bench according to our fans. It is too small a sample size to judge how good he is going to be yet. Has Charlie Barker. Deji, Richard Chin etc taught us nothing? There is a proper progression for a youth player and throwing him into a relegation battle without having played in any of the lower levels is generally not advisable. Loans, cup games and then slow introduction to the first team

No one has said that. But he should be involved more considering our lack of options. He’s also played more than 15 minutes, started at Norwich and didn’t look out of place. He’s not exactly a youngster, he’s 20 years old.
