TRO Posted February 24, 2018 Share Posted February 24, 2018 1 hour ago, Vive_La_Villa said: Thinking of youngsters getting thrown in. How about Rashford? If I recall correctly he only played because of injuries. The rest is history. Makes you wonder how many youngsters careers are prevented from really taking off because of the pressure on teams to win. If we fail to get promoted this season we will be massively reliant on the academy next season. Its a good point. I am not going to be over critical of managers, because I am not privvy to the pressure for results they have to deal with, but I think your point is a valid one. It seems more so these days, its when a team is strapped by injuries, which is not ideal, because young players should at least have the benefit of playing WITH the better players, not instead of them. It strikes me at times, we get a distorted view of our younger players by doing that....but hey ho. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DCJonah Posted February 24, 2018 Share Posted February 24, 2018 I wasn't for throwing him in last week but would be pretty happy if he had the chance this week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

villaglint Posted February 24, 2018 Share Posted February 24, 2018 Brucey trolling the keyboard warriors this week If we win I'll forgive him but it seems utterly bananas to me to keep picking Onomah over him but what do I know. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eastie Posted February 24, 2018 Share Posted February 24, 2018 Demoralising for the lad not to be on the bench - a midfield trio of whelan, hourihane and onomah - for my book not one of those 3 should be starting ‘let’s hope Bruce hasn’t screwed up the selection again . 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dounavilla Posted February 24, 2018 Share Posted February 24, 2018 I hope it was just down to a "slight" injury or sickness, otherwise this will be a huge kick in the teeth for the lad. Told the press a couple of days ago that he will be In the squad to being left out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BleedClaretAndBlue Posted February 24, 2018 Share Posted February 24, 2018 Kept him from playing u23s in the week too. Cant see it being anything other than picking up a knock otherwise hed surely be in the squad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think by in the squad he meant he’s travelling rather than guaranteed in the 18 . a woman has tweeted that she’s seen o hare get off the coach so he has travelled .

Dr_Pangloss Posted February 24, 2018 Share Posted February 24, 2018 This is getting absolutely vexing for me, he's a talent, looked good in the limited game time he has had, and has been absolutely destroying the U23 league. I hate that Onomah is getting so much preference over him, at a minimum O'Hare deserves to be on the bench. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Condimentalist Posted February 24, 2018 Share Posted February 24, 2018 I expect he's picked up a knock - Bruce wouldn't have been bigging him up midweek to then leave him out entirely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he’d picked up a knock why would he have travelled in his tracksuit - Bruce said in the squad not in the 18 - don’t get me wrong he should be involved .

StefanAVFC Posted February 24, 2018 Share Posted February 24, 2018 I don't understand. I dislike Onomah so much and he's not even our player; play O'Hare for goodness sake. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rubberman Posted February 26, 2018 Share Posted February 26, 2018 Anyone know what happened here - why he wasn't on the bench at least? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Czechlad Posted March 12, 2018 Share Posted March 12, 2018 I guess we've stopped talking about him. Still think he deserves minutes with the first team even if they are sub appearances. Early in the season he was consistently on the bench getting some minutes, but despite playing amazingly for the U-23s, he hasn't been given a chance.
