I can't believe some of the doubt about George. He's played about 10 games and some people criticise him for his decision making. Haven't I heard recent things about Aribo? Sometimes George almost seems to be trying too hard to me. I would be disappointed if he doesn't make it as a very decent player. Championship quality and hopefully that i with us.
If the squad was fully fit George would not get so much game time. Seeing him is some compensation for the injuries.
Really ?
If the squad was fully fit, then, not only would that be a miracle & highly unlikely, but Bow would undoubtedly rotate players to keep the team fresh & to counter the strengths of the opposition.
If that was the case, young George would be a very valuable member of that squad IMO with his energy, total commitment & certainly no lack of skill on the ball.
Maybe I 'm wearing rose tinted specs but I believe that the management rate this young man pretty highly & I would agree.
Perhaps he has performed especially well in away matches that you may have missed ....

If any two of Cullen, JFC and Pratley were fit they would all have been ahead of Lapslie. He'dve got chances in the cup and might well have broken through but hes done well to seize a lucky opportunity IMO
Cullen wouldn’t be here if JFC was fit. At his age Pratley was unlikely to play every game. And with our injury record over the last few seasons a few youngsters were always going to get a chance.
Agree he wouldn’t be first choice if everyone was available. He might not even make the bench.

So much of life is about being in the right place at the right time and taking advantage of opportunities that arise.
Lapslie sure did that last Tuesday when he put in an absolutely outstanding performance. If he can reproduce that sort of performance on a regular basis he will soon be a regular starter in the team.
Lapslie, Wiredu, Cousins, Kinsella, Peacock... It doesn't matter. We need to move away from worrying about old players or thinking they could return. The only ones that were ever good enough are now old men, or dead. We need new blood. New blood that is young, skilful, energetic and injury free. We need to look beyond the familiar.

Although, to be fair, that would be a pretty strong midfield five. Even next season.

Might just be enough to keep him at the Club for another year.
George is a work in progress but needs more experience.
And the only way to get experience is to play.
