lexicon Posted January 9, 2021 Share Posted January 9, 2021 Big game to captain and he put in some captain-worthy blocks - not sure if he'll make it at our level but that game was a great experience for him. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rodders0223 Posted January 9, 2021 Share Posted January 9, 2021 You've really got to wonder how he hasn't had a loan somewhere in the football league. Haven't watched the U23s as much as I used to be he has certainly filled out a bit the last year. Which I think was one of the issues. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a weird thing, youth football - you've almost no idea how they'll cope until you throw them in and see if they can. Some of the players yesterday may well have never got a first team debut as a starter or sub otherwise - it was actually a bit of a blessing for us to see what they were made of with zero risk attached.

mikeyjavfc Posted January 9, 2021 VT Supporter Share Posted January 9, 2021 Very impressed with DR last night. He had the unenviable task of marking Mane a lot of the time and he did a very good job by and large. Looks physical enough to make it at a high level.

bannedfromHandV Posted January 9, 2021 Share Posted January 9, 2021 I thought he looked good and you have to take into account that Liverpool had the ball for about 85% of the match. I wouldn’t be rushing to buy a new CB after that performance, perhaps begin integrating him more into the first team squad (once virus free of course) and see how he develops. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supermon Posted January 9, 2021 Share Posted January 9, 2021 Yeah I agree, think we can rely on him as CB cover. Let it free up funds for a striker and winger Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pete101 Posted January 9, 2021 Share Posted January 9, 2021 Really is a funny game , if you asked me a month ago about our cover at CB I would have been slightly concerned, Engels lacks pace to play in premier League and was very nervous about Kourtney after his cup displays, but Kourtney has really pushed on and may even push Mings for a starting position, then we see Dominic last night and he has everything that is needed for a CB pace, powerful and communication with rest of back 4 was great , love to see him in oppositions box attacking a corner to see how dose , looks a star in the making Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VillaAlex Posted January 15, 2021 Share Posted January 15, 2021 Great move in the thought he will play a lot of games rather than play higher up and risk being on the bench. Should be invaluable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

villalad21 Posted January 15, 2021 Share Posted January 15, 2021 Bit disappointed. Think he is well capable of playing at a much higher level than that 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

useless Posted January 15, 2021 Share Posted January 15, 2021 (edited) I don't think National League is neccesarily his level, it's just that he hasn't had the chance to prove himself at an higher level yet, it's not as if he's played lots of senior football and then it's been decided that he's only good enough for a team near the bottom of the National League. This is just the beginning for him. Edited January 15, 2021 by useless Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tinker Posted January 15, 2021 VT Supporter Share Posted January 15, 2021 He needs competitive football and in the position Weymouth are in its going to challenge him and that's what he needs and the sooner the better. From what he showed against Liverpool he has the ability in him he's now got to show it in a team battling for survival with all the pressures that brings. Most important 5 months of his career.

MaVilla Posted January 15, 2021 Share Posted January 15, 2021 lets be honest, he's 20, going to a conference team?, doesnt bode well for making it here if he's going to the conference on loan at 20? Good luck to him tho, hope it goes well. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villan-scott Posted January 15, 2021 VT Supporter Share Posted January 15, 2021 It shows he wants to play. Could have quite easily stuck around the u23’s for the rest of the season. Good luck to him. Sounds like he will be busy down there. Could be the making of him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
