DamnedOwl Posted September 10, 2011 Share Posted September 10, 2011 (edited) What about Ryan Jones? Ryan Jones, I think could have become very good for us but for injury. I'd thought of Jones - he's worthy of a shout actually, and perhaps moreso than Hyde. I remembering him weighing in with a fair number of goals from midfield in the 92/93 season. He did look good actually - had it not been for the injury he could have really blossomed. As an aside, I remember him getting booed one game at home too around the time Francis got sacked; the whole team were struggling and Jones got targeted after a couple of off-key displays. Incredible that we have to go back almost 20 years to find a midfielder of note from the youth squad though.

Guest oliver666 Posted September 10, 2011 Share Posted September 10, 2011 How much would you value Palmer at now? His stock is rising week upon week, does he have a lengthy contract? We need to be successful if we are going to keep hold of the likes Liam Palmer. It would be a travesty if he went the same way as Slew from United. It isn't case of being paranoid, but he could play a big part in Wednesdays future. I would also put Madine in that bracket as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike Hunt Posted September 10, 2011 Share Posted September 10, 2011 Actually f##k face i said his best position is in the centre which it is,he does a team job out right but for the lad to develop fully he wants a central role at some stageeve if it is only 10 mins here and there at the end of games that we are home and dry. So you know better than megson do you ??. You are only happy when you are flipping moaning Did today`s Result spoil your weekend ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edinburghowl Posted September 10, 2011 Share Posted September 10, 2011 He changed the game. The cross for the second goal was incredible. He put his chance away well too. Well played Liam excellent performance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BRUCE LEE Posted September 10, 2011 Share Posted September 10, 2011 Said in the last palmer thread, excellent with the ball, lots of ability. I'd like him to sit in one position and really settle into the starting 11. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronnie Starling Posted September 10, 2011 Share Posted September 10, 2011 Is this thread a back handed praise for the academy? I thought Palmer for all of his young years looked like a kid playing in the park with no nerves and a calmness that some of his more experienced colleagues could learn from. He made the midfield more balanced and defended well too when required. He didn't panic and used the ball extremely well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest oliver666 Posted September 10, 2011 Share Posted September 10, 2011 We don't need to sell players anymore, if a Slew-Blackburn situation came along I doubt we'd sell him. It might not be a case of not having to sell him, if GM keeps having him in and out of the team then, LP might get a little pised off especially if a Premier side came in for him. From what players we have in the squad, Liam has to start. The guy is head and shoulders above Lines, Sedgewick and JJ. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hack-Abusi Posted September 10, 2011 Share Posted September 10, 2011 must keep giving palmer competitive footballer .. he's got 2 great feet, solid on the ball and keeps to his position as opposed to drifting all over the place .. can fill in at right back, right midfield as well as his natural position of centre mid Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blueblood Posted September 10, 2011 Share Posted September 10, 2011 Don't think it will be all that long before we are talking about Nyoni as well. That's exactly wot I was going to say. Cess really needs a loan to a L2 side to aid his development. It would be fantastic if he could go to somewhere like Crewe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Past Member Posted September 10, 2011 Share Posted September 10, 2011 Awesome today, JJ may have to content with being an impact substitute for a while. Like a few others, worried that he will be attracting the interest of Champ & Premiership Scouts. Best chance of us keeping him is getting promoted.

Guest GodsanOwl Posted September 10, 2011 Share Posted September 10, 2011 We have 2 fantastic young midfielders in the making. Hopefully we will resist the temptations and keep them at Hillsborough to let them eventually perform in the Premiership! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
airborne_rat_of_s6 Posted September 10, 2011 Share Posted September 10, 2011 Palmer deserves to start. Unlike JJ he has the ability to look up and make a decent pass / cross. JJ should be reserved for scaring the crap out of the blunts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bluesteel Posted September 10, 2011 Share Posted September 10, 2011 I'm really struggling to think of the last midfielder from the youth set up that the fans got genuinely excited about. I'm thinking back to about 85, and not one player springs to mind. I can think of Hyde, but competent though he was, I don't remember the fans getting all that excited about him (not really that type of player really, tbf). Surely I'm suffering a mind-block and there's been a midfielder of note over the last 25 years from the youth team. Owen Morrisson, Alan Quinn. Or do they not count if they were brought in from Irish sides? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blueblood Posted September 10, 2011 Share Posted September 10, 2011 I think it's fantastic that we have him as an option for centre or out wide or even at RB if desperate. Only a month ago we were worried about not having cover on the wing and we needed a creative centre midfielder. Now we have Liam who can play in both positions. I wouldn't be so worried now if Prutts or Semedo picked up a knock cos he'd do well in the middle with either one of them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blueblood Posted September 10, 2011 Share Posted September 10, 2011 Owen Morrisson, Alan Quinn. Or do they not count if they were brought in from Irish sides? Of corse they count. If the blunts can claim Jagielka evenntjo he only spent about a week in their academy then we can definitely claim Quinn and Morrisson Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Salmonbones Posted September 10, 2011 Author Share Posted September 10, 2011 (edited) Is this thread a back handed praise for the academy? Not intentionally. I get the impression that Palmer and Nyoni might come good despite the academy, not because of it. We need a winning mentality from bottom up, not a "it's the taking part that counts" mentality our academy seems to have. (or seemed to have had....is it being addressed yet?)

stewtheowl Posted September 10, 2011 Share Posted September 10, 2011 As a worksop lad it's lovely to see someone from our town do well for himself as a professional sportsman. Did well on the right today and has shown his versatility in recent weeks with the positions he's played in the cup games. But I'd like to see him with a run of games in the middle as that's his natural position just to see how he does. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
