Lamptey

Lamptey using his pace, getting by players and whipping in crosses on the right is his forte. Little terrier.
May have just earned himself a start in the FA Cup against Nottingham Forest.

Another academy player Super Frank (& Jody) trusted to play in a pressure situation

‘Tariq Lamptey is a credit to Jody Morris and Joe Edwards,’ he said, ‘because when we sat and analysed the last two days and we knew Cesar Azpilicueta had a small injury and Reece James is injured then we are looking at options for a right-back or right wing-back.

‘They said believe in him, trust in him, because they did and I listened to that. We felt it was the right time to bring him into the game and he was a catalyst because we were getting down the sides and he gave us a little bit more of an edge.

‘He has pace, a low centre of gravity and can go by people. He wants to work on his end product but my question to Jody when he came on was has he got the confidence and the personality to deal with this. It is a tough game to come on with the responsibility to try to turn it, and Jody said yeah, no problem, and when he drove inside and slipped Tammy in for a shot, it was a great example of someone coming on a bit fearless and sometimes you get that with youth.’


That's what Frank had to say on Lamptey's performance.

The lad played well full credit, he can teach Dave how to pass a player and cross the ball ! a good addition to our squad for the future.

Done an article on him back in September!

Love watching this kid

Good spot Brummie,you're not as daft as you look ..hey !

Talent spotter me harle!

Lamptey on the verge of signing for Brighton apparently.
Understandable decision to reject Chelsea offer and leave.

The competition infront of him is insurmountable.
Gametime will be very scarce.
