At both Plymouth, and United, it was clear, that JRS, was probably not ready for the first team yet, not for the first time ,his lack of a reliable first touch and lightweight stature, were all to clear to see. These being two areas of development that must be right if he is to progress.
But hats off to him , he had something to prove because of those two games and he did just that against what was a very resolute Forrest defence, and not only in offence ,but his tracking and tackling back was not that far off of perfect as well.
It’s no good talking about finished articles, he is only twenty one and it will be a while before he is consistent, one swallow doesn’t make a summer, but this performance gives reason to believe all being well he can become a regular if not this season ,then soon.

I agree with what you say, he is not really ready for the EPL and needs to have a run in the championship to sharpen up his match skills and improve his physicality. Whilst I wish him well it going to hard to to this, by keeping the bench warm each week for a few minutes here and there. According to research, the odds are not really in his favour as only 30% of all academy players who get handed a professional contract, of that latter group 1-10 then go on to make more than 20 appearances at all tiers of full time English professional football. It's a tough call and I wish him the best of luck!

We all want him to succeed but not meaning to be harsh now is the time for him to prove himself. He was 21 last week, still young but not a teenage prospect.

He needs to do what AWB did, when he got his chance. Come in and be in droppable.
He’s in his 20s, we’ve got loads of attacking injuries, needs to do it now, or I doubt he will.

Morgan Gibbs White was on loan in the Championship at the age of 22. Gallagher and Mount were there at the age of 20.

Guess it depends what doing 'it' means - AWB had a phenomenal season and went to Man Utd for £50m which is very rare.

Rak-Sakyi could have a very successful career at Palace as Ayew's successor given Ayew is 33 at the start of next season - play across the front 3, solid player for us, doesn't ever threaten the Champions League transfer market. I think expecting him to jump from League 1 to the PL and instantly be undroppable is asking a heck of a lot, especially as many big money summer signings that are new to the PL often take months to settle in.

You might be incorrectly assuming that he never swapped the golden sands of Copacabana Beach for a five a side on Bognor Regis beach whilst staying at Butlins?!
