It looks set to be a regular occurrence.
This isn’t the first time that Miguel Fernandez has ‘lit up’ Twitter after his performance for the U23 side, and it probably isn’t going to be the last.
He scored the winner yesterday as the young Blues beat Crewe Alexandra 1 – 0, to take them to the top of the Premier Development League table. This was the 6th time that Fernandez has found the back of the net this season, so he’s clearly turning out to be quite the handful for defenders in that league.
Perhaps it’s time to see if he can do the same to defenders in the Championship. Because that’s what fans were all saying to each other as the result came in, with many of them calling for him to b given his shot in the first team. Given that he’s only got a couple of weeks left on his contract, it’s got to be only a matter of time before he gets his chance, otherwise the Blues could see it very much as an opportunity missed.
Start him up front..

This lad scores regularly for the U23 time he step up to 1st team squad. Can't do any worse than Pep's present choice strikers

Agreed but firstly need to get him tied up on a contract as I seem to recall reading we'd only giving him a 6 month contract

Should Miguel Fernandez be promoted into the first-team soon?
Yes
No
With the Blues struggling for goals so far this season, you may as well take the risk, what have you got to lose?
