omariqy Posted November 1, 2017 Share Posted November 1, 2017 This attitude of lets slowly blood them in annoys me. Look at Spurs - they throw them in to important games. If they are good enough they are old enough. O'Hare has been one of our shining lights whenever he has been on the pitch. He should get a chance to show how good he really is. Look at Burke for Forest last year or Brooks for Sheff U last year or even our own Keinan Davis. Give them a chance to shine. If we don't go up then we will have to rely on these players going forward anyway. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raver50032 Posted November 1, 2017 Share Posted November 1, 2017 Can we call him 'Bucky?' There's almost a ready made chant in there for him... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DCJonah Posted November 1, 2017 Share Posted November 1, 2017 I could understand helping a spurs player progress over our own if he was having a real positive impact on the team. But is he? I hope onomah puts in a great performance tonight to justify keeping our own players down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
omariqy Posted November 1, 2017 Share Posted November 1, 2017 Like I said Bruce ain't got the guts to involve him like he deserves. Tonight shows that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kiwivillan Posted November 3, 2017 Share Posted November 3, 2017 3 PL scouts at Newcastle game apparently and Bruce doesn't give him a bench spot against a injury hit Preston instead a spot for 2 fullbacks Samba etc. Disgrace if we lose him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KSV Posted November 3, 2017 Share Posted November 3, 2017 He is a bit small.. i guess that may be the only reason Bruce hasnt played him more. Davis is a big lad and can hold his own against men. We dont know how he performs against men in training.. I still would at least prefer to see him on the bench than 2 full backs however.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dont_do_it_doug. Posted November 3, 2017 Share Posted November 3, 2017 He had played 90 minutes on Monday, no? Why have him on the bench if you can't realistically turn to him? His development should be their number one priority at this stage. If he's not there Saturday, well that's maddening. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rodders Posted November 3, 2017 Share Posted November 3, 2017 When did callum get so apparently amazing he should be a starter? Ive seen some keen enthusiasm and thats about it from his brief appearances. Hope he does well and improves but he's a kid. Why should he be starting? What am I missing? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That he has been the best player on the pitch every time he’s been allowed on? That he is performing consistently well for the U23s and has probably got all he can out of that level for his development? That our own player may be able to do the job of a Tottenham loanee if given the opportunity? That he could be given a place on the bench at least rather than a 3rd defender? 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rubberman Posted November 3, 2017 Share Posted November 3, 2017 TBH I'll let Bruce off Weds as O'Hare had just played 90mins on Monday, but expect to see him on the bench for Sat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OutByEaster? Posted November 3, 2017 Moderator Share Posted November 3, 2017 He came off after just over an hour of the game on Monday. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRO Posted November 3, 2017 Share Posted November 3, 2017 (edited) development of young players is tricky....I am trusting SB to manage him properly. Its fairly early in the season and we are trying to establish ourselves and its physical right now I have high hopes for the kid.....He has very quick feet and can play players in .....has a quick football brain, However he is diminutive in stature and it would be crazy to ruin him too early.The Neanderthals in this league will chop him down. I am hoping he can make some cameo roles, when the conditions are right. It follows that premiership scouts are starting to watch him.....otherwise we would all be wrong in our assessment. He will be a valuable player for us, in due course. Edited November 3, 2017 by TRO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OutByEaster? Posted November 3, 2017 Moderator Share Posted November 3, 2017 He plays on the right or just off the striker - his route to the first team is currently blocked by Snodgrass and Onomah - they're both injured. I think it's fair to say we're about to find out whether the manager rates him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because Steve Bruce isn’t starting him - that’s why he should be starting. Ignore anything reasonable like recent results, he should absolutely change the team to accommodate an unproven 19 year old.

Well he says he does.....but he could rate him at some things and have reservations about others at this stage of his development. Its been a long hard road back from disintegrating in every game, i guess he is reluctant to let our bit of resilience dissipate by taking gambles. Its his call.....I like the lad very much.....however i think his last game was Cardiff.? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
