Yeah that’s my issue with it. It’s really poor management. He hasn’t even been playing U21s for game time and has made a grand total of 123 minutes for us. Giving him 1 minute here and there and then thrusting him into one of our biggest games is a shortsighted approach to his development.
(I’m not sure he was brought in as 3rd choice striker, I think Danjuma was planned to be ahead of him for that and Chermiti was meant to be a longer term development and not necessarily as a first team squad player - based off Thelwell calling him a “player for tomorrow”)
