And I've seen him enough over the past couple of seasons in the Championship to be able to form my own opinions, cheers.

Quickness is different to straight-line pace, which is what you might be referring to, and is a more useful attribute in central positions. Briggs may not be as fast as a winger but he's definitely quick.

Biggs/Southernwood maybe good but we could potentially re-sign Herbert if he has a great season then sell him if Southernwood comes good. Very much like the Long/Eastmond thing at Saints.

Also Briggs and Herbert are about the same age as well.

Agree Dill and Bull, absolutley no point whatsoever in playing Briggs in the U20's. Play him, throw in the deep end and let us all find out wether he is good enough. I'm sure he will succeed all expectations. Really looking forward to seeing this kid play.

Agree with you 100%

Yep. But let's not start slating him if he doesn't win games all by himself straight away. He does need time to settle into the side before he'll hit his top form, but although I see Mat's point, I think the best and quickest way for him to settle is for it to be with the first team.
