I would like to see the following get promoted to the first team:
Conor Coady (20)
Ryan McLaughlin (18)
Samed Yesil (18)
Kristoffer Peterson (18)
Danny Ward (20)

Conor Coady is the one who deserves this the most. After a series of fine games, I watched him play against Southampton, and excelled in the 'Lucas-role'. People scream of steel in the midfield, and while I think we have enough strength, Coady is born for this role. I know BR sees the same as me and he will get playing time next year. Ryan McLaughlin will have to come up to provide cover, but will likely have a similar role to Coady at the moment, training with the first time, playing for the U21s. Yesil and Peterson are two players I think will blossom once they get going at the senior stage. Yesil needs to strengthen up a bit, mind his injury, and get used to the English game. Peterson just keeps impressing me. Everyone would say that he is that tricky, fast winger with lots of flair. Many say he looks like Ronaldo in his playing style, and indeed Peterson himself has CR7 as his idol. But what strikes me, is how intelligent he is at this role, and that at the age of 18. His end product is his strength, as well as fabulous, quick feet to go with it. Danny Ward is a very talented goalkeeper who deserves the 3rd choice, behind Reina and hopefully Mignolet.
