Last couple of paras :
It’s a six to nine-month injury and I’m nearly six months in. At the start, I thought to myself ‘can I get back in six months?’ but the specialist said with the season ending in May, there was no point coming back for a couple of weeks when I can aim for May, June and then into pre-season training in July.
“Everything I do now is focused on the first day of pre-season and I’m working towards that when I get there, I’m not just in good shape but the best shape I can possibly be.
“I’m doing a lot on the pitch at the moment. I feel like a footballer again! I’m working with the ball, passing, dribbling, high-intensity running, twisting, and turning. The finishing line is in sight.”

Fair play to him, would be brilliant to see him flourish
Whatever...but I'm getting sick of cunts running down our youth prospects just for the sake of appearing fucking clever...
Well that could be a mortal blow to his career.
Considering how thin we are on CM now, Skipp could get a debut aged 17
Long read but worth taking the time.

"I’m honest with myself, this is a great opportunity and I’m here [at QPR] to play,” he says. “I’m not here to be a squad member. I want to be fighting to be the first name on the team sheet."
"I know, to get where I want to get to, I can’t afford to not train properly even for one day. I’ve got to aim for the top and it’s going to be tough to make it at Tottenham. I know who I am now, I know what I am ready to do."
"I might not be the real deal yet but I’m ready to kick on. I’m not afraid of anything.”

Was quite impressed by him yesterday.
Nobody gives a shit what you think. Go and suck off Trump!
Body shape is very, very predictable, ONLY moves to the left. If you are defending against him, show him onto his other side. Don't get me wrong he has a good game but a well prepared oppo will be allover that.
Poor guy. 2nd time in 2 years
Fans loved him at Stevenage last season - and on the basis of the Roma match you can see why.
He's starting to look like the player he was as a schoolboy and start of Academy Year 1 when he was so impressive - got sidelined .a bit in the last year of Academy and u21's often playing left back to fill a gap in the team, and was a decent left back choice although not necessarily the best being played out of his position. Started at Spurs as a CAM but developed more as a DM/CM more in the Carrick type mode than anyone else I'd guess..
Last night seemed to be strong, confident at taking the ball in tight spaces, sharp feet, good burst of pace over short distances, carrying the ball well, had good awareness of what was going on around him - and who was available to pass to, decent pass selection and execution and decent tackling.
Still things to work on but lots of basic stuff done well - question is whether Poch will keep him round the squad (especially if Dembele stays but like last season isn't fit enough to play more than say 25% of matches and there is uncertainty around Winks fitness), even if we get Grealish who could play that kind of role or whether Poch loans him out again possibly to a Championship side or even lower PL side.
Might also depend upon whether Oakley-Boothe (crocked for Roma game) shows any form in remaining ICC matches, but Amos has set his stall out well.
