Keener window-cleaner Posted January 15, 2019 Share Posted January 15, 2019 What I see from those short clips is good movement, quick feet and that ability only a few have to shoot in the same movement as he moves the ball. Agree with SGC that he seems to have potential. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AvfcRigo82 Posted January 15, 2019 Share Posted January 15, 2019 Why are we not putting most of our youth in the 1st team since most of the first team appear to be shite?.. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post OutByEaster? Posted January 15, 2019 Moderator Popular Post Share Posted January 15, 2019 I've gone all SGC for this boy - I reckon he could be the real deal. I think he's got a huge amount of potential. I've seen him three or four times now and I keep seeing more and more things I like. He's got a bit of everything and some steel behind it. He works hard on and off the ball, he's got an eye for a pass, he scores goals, makes great runs into the box and doesn't shirk either a bit of work or a scrap.At under 18's level he's a class act. I think he's one to watch. 12 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Merson08 Posted January 15, 2019 Share Posted January 15, 2019 (edited) Seriously get him on subs bench and give him minutes. Cannot do worse than Whelan. That can be his pep talk. Edited January 15, 2019 by Merson08 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe you watch an underage game and can see straight away that a few of the lads playing aren't going to make it, which is what happens to 99% of them.

Skruff Posted January 16, 2019 Share Posted January 16, 2019 (edited) Will follow this guy with a lot of interest. I hope we'll either integrate him into the squad and utilize the loan market in a good way for him to evolve. The players that show they are too good for their current level needs to be allowed to hone their skill and improve in a more challenging environment.

The players that show they are too good for their current level needs to be allowed to hone their skill and improve under a more challenging environment. The next challenge for him will be the step up to U23 level. If he's performing at U23 level next season like he is at U18 level this season, then we'll need to do some thinking - but there's still a step up for him to make at youth and reserve level.

Offcourse. And I expect he will make appearances for the 23 in the not too distant future. He seems capabale of that sooner rather then later. Or do you think he needs more time to develop? I'm more concerned with what happens when he's made that step. My impression is that some of our players seems to be stuck in a limbo between our first team, where they're given too little time and the u23s, where they are too good. Might just be impatience and naivitity from my side. When that's said. I'm impressed with the team In the matches I've watched with our youth teams. They seem to play with great tempo, eagerness, press, physicality. They seem to play like our first team is supposed to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HongKongVillan Posted January 16, 2019 VT Supporter Share Posted January 16, 2019 How dare those kids in midfield doing runs, making one touch passes, getting passed their men before planting a finish. Our midfield general Glenn should have a strong word to them! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
