Ethel The Tree Posted April 10, 2017 Share Posted April 10, 2017 Full time 1-2 Y' know folks, I can happily convince myself I couldn't care less what those gruntbags get up to But they seem to have this knack of coming up with fresh excuses for me to despise them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Semedo's ferret Posted April 10, 2017 Share Posted April 10, 2017 (edited) Hopefully them constantly slating Carlos for keeping Mcgugan out of the first team watched this game. 18 yr old lads made him look like a veteran playing in div 2 of the Wrag over 35s league.

KivoOwl Posted April 10, 2017 Share Posted April 10, 2017 Absolutely fuming at what happened today. Likes of James Murphy, Warren Clarke and Fraser Preston have played their part in a cracking season all year, but had to make way for the game that could have seen us clinch the title - because Lewis McGugan, Liam Palmer and Urby Emanuelson fancied a run out. Senior players can pick and choose when they turn out for the U23s, and they decided that today was a nice day for a kick about. They were here completely uninterested - McGugan pulling off fancy flicks and intercepted long balls. He and Emanuelson did more running when they were subbed off than when they were on the pitch. There me was a big crowd there today, and regular fans of the youth sides wanted to see the lads win the title, but instead we got to see overpaid, overweight, uninterested tails trot round the pitch for an hour, lose the game, then roger off fot a shower when subbed, as if they'd broken sweat.

Would rather we play and Leeds and loose with regular development squad, then win and finish top with likes of McGugan and Emanuelson. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It should be the U23s coach in conjunction with CC that decides for a balance of benefits for the U23 team and players who are on their way back to the first team and not on their way out of the club. Would have expected better from Palmer though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mcgugan and Palmer looked miles slower than utds midfielders, who pressed with pace and aggression. Mcgugan looks three stone overweight! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nevthelodgemoorowl Posted April 10, 2017 Share Posted April 10, 2017 Very very poor. 'There's no lights on the Christmas tree mother they're burning big Louis tonight' left with 30 minutes to go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pazowl55 Posted April 10, 2017 Share Posted April 10, 2017 Palmer needed game time. Completely understand his inclusion. Maybe needed for the first team in the run in., which is ultimately what all this leads to anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They were first to every ball, fitter, stronger and more desire. As others have said McGugan, Palmer and Urby were absolutely awful and all we did was lump it up to Hirst on his own. Their defence won the high balls with ease. It was like watching school football and there was no sign that any of our players would make a professional footballer and I include Urby and McGugan in that ! Hirst didn't have a chance and I'll allow Palmer an off day (playing midfield) and I'll give Dawson the benefit of the doubt. Waste of an afternoon, so disappointing.

Birley Owl 1867 Posted April 10, 2017 Share Posted April 10, 2017 Can understand Palmer playing, CC probably wanting to try him out in midfield in a development squad game. I heard that McGugan has been asking to play for a while too. I'll tell you something though. Thought Jack Stobbs was awful. Way too greedy, never passed to his teammates and shoved off ball many times Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adam Reachs left peg Posted April 10, 2017 Share Posted April 10, 2017 Mcgugan and emanuelson should never be aloud to represent the club again professional players who can't be arsed had high hopes for stobbs but not happening for him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems to me that he lost yard of pace too, certainly not as quick as I remember him to be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think you hit nail on head there, I must admit I haven't seen that much of the development lads only in their friendly appearances and the odd games when I'm off uni (like today). When I have seen them before though Stobbs has always looked fairly good. What was the injury he got? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Ash76 Posted April 10, 2017 Share Posted April 10, 2017 Never seen Urby play so i'll refrain from commenting. The McGugan comments don't surprise me in the slightest, bloke is a full weight c0ck and Palmer is developing a lazy side. Committed when involved in play but as we see so many times he never breaks sweat to get back when he plays RB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
