useless Posted December 11, 2020 Share Posted December 11, 2020 Barry was wastefull a few times but you could still tell that he's a good player and you feel like he can make something happen every time he gets the ball. No surprise that he came up with the winner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OutByEaster? Posted December 11, 2020 Moderator Share Posted December 11, 2020 I don't think we played well, we look soft in the middle and poor without the ball, we made loads of errors, loads of poor decisions and spent a little bit too much time trying to look good - but, there's a lot of talent, Chukwuemeka is very, very good on the ball and in the first half was dominant, Barry got his goal in the end, but needs to get his head up, Young is a grafting poacher, I though Appiah was good and Revan before he went off. I think there's a lot of room for improvement, but we're through to the fourth round, hopefully it's away so we get to see it. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Farlz Posted December 11, 2020 Share Posted December 11, 2020 Obviously some players just can't make the step up from youth football but I'd be extremely surprised if none of this batch of players are able to come through into the first team however many years down the line. We seem to have a couple real gems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaAlex Posted December 11, 2020 Share Posted December 11, 2020 Barry is quite frustrating to watch but is talent is there to see. Carney impresses the more I see him, his weight of pass is so so good and he glides across the pitch. I always like watching Kesler play as well, I think he has huge potential. It would be nice to have a fullback come through. Bradley Young looked good too.. Bogarde was all over the place he's been much better in midfield compared to CB. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rayk Posted December 11, 2020 Share Posted December 11, 2020 Good post VillaAlex. Carney was unbelievable tonight, easily the closest player to the first team based on that performance. If only we can keep Luiz for a couple more seasons we’d have a ready made replacement. Barry disappointed me and looked a one trick pony always cutting in from LW to take a shot from outside the box with his right peg. Yes he won the pen for Brad Youngs first goal but wasted a good 6 shots. No pace either. LW not his position really. Completely agree about Bogarde....why didn’t Swinkels start?

He’s neither but he’s real quality and Purslow’s comment about him being the best 16 y/o in the country last year all deserved. For me he’s a younger and taller and maybe better version of Luiz.

Even if it's 10 games a season. Next season against the same teams they'll dominate them physically. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
useless Posted December 30, 2020 Share Posted December 30, 2020 Just looked on the official site and according the fixture list we're due to play Reading at 12:00 on Saturday January 30th and then Brighton in the FA Youth cup on the same day at 19:00, seems a bit unfair to have to field two U18 sides, in the FA Cup we'll use some of our U23s players, but they're also playing on the 29th. That's if academy football is still going ahead at that point. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
