Yes, they have arrived in Austria and Browning was given permission to go with them. Something I would have been completely against in normal circumstances but maybe we’re sending him out on loan.

With us since the age of10, by his own admission absolutely in awe of the first team squad and has great difficulty believing he deserves to be with them. Hibbert has been trying to get him to see things differently but it has not been easy. After a promising start to the season he appears to have gone backwards and this latest request to join up with his young mates on the U21 tour is not something I wanted to hear.

Despite several loan spells, Lundstram always had a maturity problem and now he’s gone. Stubbs said it was his biggest headache with youngsters. Some mature a lot later than others. eg Stones and Barkley. Judging by his recent interview, young Ross has still some way to go.

I hope Browning makes it. He’s a good young lad with pace and ability but needs to find that extra self belief which separates the winners from the losers. Go to it young man.

Lots of good advice there Harold. Self belief and confidence is holding Tyias back. Hopefully he will start believing he has the ability to make the first team.

I always remember Cliff Marshall, he never had the confidence to believe in his natural footballing skills. In one game, he was substituted and it looked to me he couldn’t get off the pitch quick enough.

It’s shame Tyias didn’t get some more game time after his very decent appearances last season. Might have done his confidence the world of good.

A loan at a Championship club where he will be a regular starter all season could be the best thing for him. Still not sure whether the club see him long term as a RB or a CB. Hopefully they know either way.
