MaVilla Posted October 1, 2021 Share Posted October 1, 2021 Whats the general quality difference between PL 1 & PL 2? I assume most of them also dont play as many young players as we do?, making other teams U23 appear better than ours on paper? (ie: younger compared to older average age for u23s?)

useless Posted October 1, 2021 Share Posted October 1, 2021 We don't look scoring, our creative players struggling to get into the game, Ramsey not as good as usual by his normal standards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought Bogarde had been training with first team as a cb. Perhaps they now see him there. We have a lot of competition at cm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(tasty) Hard to call tbf - be a bit harsh to drop Lindley, as he's progressed very nicely this season. Bogarde has definitely improved as a defender, but it just seems a waste to play him at CB when he's got that much ability on the ball. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not that much of a gap at all, considering how good Wolves have been in phases. then again, a chunk of our most promising youth players are out on loan soooo!?

Popular Post OutByEaster? Posted October 1, 2021 Moderator Popular Post Share Posted October 1, 2021 Really good test for them tonight - Wolves pressed us high and hard right from the first whistle and we really struggled to get out. We're a team used to being on the front foot and being the aggressor and we looked a little lost at times when we couldn't get the ball into forward areas. We have weapons at the top end that can hurt teams and Wolves countered that by insisting the game be played in our half - fair play to them, it takes a heap of hard work and a load of organisation to do that well and they came with both. Their number three, Lembikisa was excellent throughout. For us I thought Lamar Bogarde was outstanding and Tim Iroegbanum not far behind him, young Frankie Ealing also deserves a lot of credit for the shift he put in, he works harder than a fireman in an earthquake. I thought we struggled a little in midfield where we sometimes tend to go one at a time rather than as a unit - when we're on top in games it works well, but there were times tonight where we needed to keep things tight and tidy and struggled - like the syllabus of a school for recovering meth-heads, there wasn't any chemistry. One player with a massive lesson to learn tonight is Aaron Ramsey. Ramsey is the most talented player on that pitch. He had a poor game. More than most he looked like a player used to being able to show the full range of his skills in attacking positions that was struggling to adjust to having to battle away in the trenches. In the second half he lost more balls than the local blind golf society and by the time he was substituted he looked frustrated and lost and his head had gone a bit. He can learn from this - you have to work and you have to earn it - and he will, he's an immensely talented young man, there still no one else out there that can do the spin turn that almost had him in on goal in the first half. He'll be back. I thought Feeney added to his already impressive record of looking like the worlds most mature sixteen year old, he was solid, and the big Dutch farm boy next to him I thought showed signs of being a very passable left back - he's still a centre half out of position, but it was nice to see him get forward and be a bit more vocal. They hit the bar and we showed flickers in the final minutes where we might have done something, but I think the draw was the right result. Lessons to be learned and some good ones on offer - probably better for these players in the long run than another big scoring win. 8 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
