VILLAMARV Posted August 22, 2015 Share Posted August 22, 2015 Eh? Firstly that's not what I said and my evidence is that once they break into the first team they are at best, try harders in a woeful team. Quite frankly I couldn't give a **** what they do in the youth teams. It means nothing. Having a bunch of decent 16-19 year olds based on the opinion of SGC doesn't fill me with much optimism at all.We won the equivalent of the champs league with our youth team. To what outcome with regards the first team? Nowt. Certainly nowt worth shouting about. What thread do you think you're posting in exactly?

tinker Posted August 22, 2015 VT Supporter Share Posted August 22, 2015 Play him off Rudy up front, he needs to be in or around the box where defenders have to either take him out or play well off him giving more space for our other strikers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lexicon Posted August 23, 2015 Share Posted August 23, 2015 Looked good but clearly needed to be taken off after an hour or so, he's not fully match fit yet and was out on his feet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zatman Posted August 23, 2015 Share Posted August 23, 2015 I think he's our best player already, we'll struggle to keep hold of him to be honest, fabulous young player, he's the best I've seen come through the academy Not just the best. He's the only one who has come through the academy who is worth remotely getting excited about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr_Pangloss Posted August 23, 2015 Share Posted August 23, 2015 Cahill did not look remotely as much an exciting prospect as Grealish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zatman Posted August 23, 2015 Share Posted August 23, 2015 well he was a big prospect though and won lots of acolades on loan at Burnley and I remember people were excited about him at the time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

villaglint Posted August 24, 2015 Share Posted August 24, 2015 It was a very encouraging start to the season for me especially since he has only played 1.5 games up to now in pre season. I'd agree though that he should have been taken off after about an hour I thought he was really blowing and part of the reason we didnt win midfield battle in the second half. I do wonder though what the top limit is for this kids talent. Bearing in mind how little premier league football this kid has played he looks so so comfortable. Add to that he still has a year or two of physical development to go. With experience and more strength/speed he could be one of those players you dont get near, to be fair at the moment seasoned premier league defenders are struggling to win the ball off him. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danishlad Posted August 24, 2015 Share Posted August 24, 2015 I thought Jack was absolutely fantastic. 1st game back from injury- he looked strong and quick, full of ideas. Shame Darren Bent isn't a few years younger, he would bag a lot of goals from Jack's play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dont_do_it_doug. Posted August 25, 2015 Share Posted August 25, 2015 His strength surprised me, it's one of the few criticisms I've had of him to date, he could look a bit powderpuff. Despite the fortnight on the piss and the injury he has come back stronger. His build and the way he moves does remind me of Best. Maybe one day we can expand that comparison 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He had 3 shots at goal Saturday just gone, that I remember at least. It is probably the one remaining criticism though yes. I hope I'm there when he does finally pop one in mind. I adore the lad, could be a proper hero. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
