OutByEaster? Posted August 27, 2018 Moderator Share Posted August 27, 2018 I went to this one. Interesting game - firstly, I didn't think we were the better side, but we were mentally very strong. I need to disagree with SGC on a couple of bits - I thought we played a 4-1-2-1-2 with O'Hare behind Mooney and Knibbs. That meant our width needed to come from the full backs and I thought that whilst they both tried hard at it, Jake Walker struggled to balance that and his defensive duties and we were attacked an awful lot in the first half down our right hand side. Revan looked decent at left back and I like Bazely-Graham in the middle; he's got a touch of aggression to his game and he's a battler. Bedeau is that bit classier and gets extra points for a running style that looks like he's stalking his man - it's a little reminiscent of Ugo's run; head forward, arms dropped in front of him, crouched and approaching his prey. Anyways - he defended well and continues to look like he'll grow into a player. Credit to O'Hare - he's been out a long time but he was an absolute bag of energy today - popping up here, there and everywhere in his free role - and though nothing quite fell for him he was always after the ball, always making runs and always looking to make things happen. The injury does not appear to have taken anything from the player. Jordan Lyden played sensibly in the middle of the park and did well when he dropped into the back line - he's an odd one, he's been in the reserves too long and he's good enough to be playing somewhere. Doyle-Hayes didn't look quite as crisp as I've seen him before, Jack Clarke looks good on the ball but occasionally makes the wrong decision - he's young and will come good I'm sure. Mooney and Knibbs struggled manfully without really getting on top of Fulham's centre halves. Fulham's centre halves were good I thought - I was thinking that when one of them got very out of shape from a cross and from his positioning you could see he was going to put it past his own keeper the second it left the wingers boot. A slo-mo kerfuffle of legs and brain. I thought Sarkic was impressive - he made some very good last ditch saves, he was good at organising his defence and he's put a bit of muscle on, I thought he looked much more mature. I was thinking that when he decided to go all Allison and try and dribble around that forward who took it off him and gleefully tucked it home. At that point, I thought Fulham would go on and win it - they'd been on top for the first hour or so - but we scored against the run of play and the goal seemed to both settle us and rattle them - they never really threatened again after it. Fair play to Jordan Cox who deserved it for a nice cameo of direct attacking play. Other than that, the only things I have to report are that I sat behind Mitchell Clark and his (lovely) girlfriend - he's on loan at Port Vale and seems to be enjoying it, although he does appear to have upset Tranmere's fans somehow. I'd know more about that but my hearing's terrible. Oh and Sam Lomax the mystery keeper who's in the U23's squads this season is seven foot three. At least. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SirSteveUK Posted August 28, 2018 Share Posted August 28, 2018 OBE - don't upset sgc - or he might not come to us on loan 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SirSteveUK Posted August 28, 2018 Share Posted August 28, 2018 (edited) Excellent summary OBE - I was confused at first - I thought Revan was a CB and Bazeley-Graham a RB. nice to know we have some players can look OK out of position !! Always have had a high opinion of Bedeau - he must have something to warrant a 900k fee Have just checked a couple of Tranmere forums - Mitch is not mentioned specifically - but the PV coach used to manage Tranmere.

You'd hope he can do well at the tail end of League Two. As long as he can get the service. Presumably means a promotion to U23 for Dimitri Sea as well.

OutByEaster? Posted September 2, 2018 Moderator Share Posted September 2, 2018 2-1 win away to Boro today with Callum O'Hare and Revan scoring for us. The whole game is on the Boro youtube channel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he could be, he’s so good, calm and composed on the ball, one of those defenders that are so good that you barely notice him, I mean that positively Edited September 2, 2018 by sir_gary_cahill 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BOF Posted September 3, 2018 Author Moderator Share Posted September 3, 2018 So we're second behind Wolves now. Mungo & Sea make their first U23 appearances of the season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BOF Posted September 3, 2018 Author Moderator Share Posted September 3, 2018 Revan's an interesting one. 17 years old (albeit a fortnight from 18) with a goal and an assist from defence in the last 2 games. Certainly bodes well for him and us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
