Player Watch #24: Tom Powell - signed thru 2026 - finishes 5th in the 2024 SBM.

Has he improved his acceleration? Not expecting much imrorvement at the top end but if he can get out of trouble a little easier that would be a big help.

He doesn’t need a quick first step.
He’s quick of hand and mind and has plenty of team mates to give it to who are fleet of foot.

Him running hard both ways and all day is more important. And core strength to match it in the guts.

Loving all the individual player updates roos_fanatic08
I’m very excited to see Powelly’s development this season.
He looks in absolutely ripping nick!!
Everything is pointing to a true breakout season.
I reckon we will be looking to get the ball in his hands as often as possible this season, along with Daniel.
He has great vision & skills.

Daniel, Powell, Sheezel, Phillips, Curtis.

Get into these guy’s hands as much as humanly possible.

Luke Parker Mark 11

Actually he should be one of Parkers pet projects.....the quicker this lad realises he's a man now and wants physicality in his environment the better our midfield gets its really that simple. Stronger core strength go hand in hand with his want to be physical. Parker is perfect to teach him.

Parker has only just arrived at our club. We’ve already accepted that he is imbued with godlike capabilities. Let’s hope he can live up to our very high expectations. Otherwise, he’ll be another whipping boy around here by R3 - if history tells us anything.

I was more suggesting that he looks like a younger version of LP. Hopefully his football hits a similar level. Tommy Parker

Actually didn’t mind him playing half back last year. Always confident with his disposal as a link up player coming out
