MrTacoSWFC Posted January 11, 2020 Share Posted January 11, 2020 (edited) He will want to play games and want to stay in the 1st team, if hes fit and he's playing well he should play. Simple as that for me. The coaching team and monk will be keeping an eye on him... so for me.. if hes fit, playing well he gets played.

Mr Farrell Posted January 11, 2020 Share Posted January 11, 2020 Those 2 times he barrelled forwards like Iorfa, I spaffed myself. God how we have missed a fullback. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Today he showed the precisely the kind of will to get forward on a number of occasions that we've crying out from our full backs. It's early days for him, and he still needs to learn the full back position of course (as a few times he was caught out a little), but it's a very promising start for him. He was naively very attack minded, i'm sure we will knock that out of him! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gurujuan Posted January 11, 2020 Share Posted January 11, 2020 We often bemoan the fact that we don’t find these type of players that other teams seem to uncover, well it looks as if we’ve found one For some clubs, Norwich for instance, there’s a well trodden path for these inner city London lads, often released by other clubs. Looks like we are now looking to do the same with the likes of Urhoghide, who’s now broken through, and Dawodu and Hagan following a similar path So impressed with how he’s taken to first team football, well done lad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Be reyt after a little bit of rest and some electrolytes. Chuffed for him the way he has played and his rise from nowhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Salmonbones Posted January 11, 2020 Share Posted January 11, 2020 I understand where people are coming from when they say you need to protect new talens emerging like this, but here is the thing. Others expose them and they become wonderkids - or in the case of our neighbours they use them and make a massive profit from them. This kid today, and by all accounts against Brighton too - was not a bit part, he wasn't making up the numbers - he actually genuinely contributed. Give him a chance. It's not the Wednesday way, but maybe we should change that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What message does it send out to him if he's fit after a great performance away at top of the league? What message does it send to the other youngsters at the club? What message does it say to lesser performing players if they just walz back in? Play him, if he starts to struggle that's when you take him out and away from pressure, he seems like he's got a good head on his shoulders and would understand. Not when you've come in and been one of the better players and not conceded a goal yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stanningtonowl Posted January 11, 2020 Share Posted January 11, 2020 Looked good today. Got caught out a couple of times defensively, got lucky with the interception before his big run but looked a good strong lad and bashed the Leeds players away on his runs. Good lad!!

Sgt Wednesday Posted January 11, 2020 Share Posted January 11, 2020 Play him, he's a kid, he's full of energy and he's clearly a fit boy. The best young players play regular football. AFC Wimbledon must be kicking themselves and sacking the person who decided to release him. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HOOTIE AND THE SHIT TU Posted January 11, 2020 Share Posted January 11, 2020 Played better today than he did against Brighton Had a couple of great bursts forward Couple of sticky bits too, but just got up and got on with it Quick feet for a big lad I'd keep playing him, Monk will know when he needs a break Just a bloke, who used up all his luck in one go when he met his wife.

scram Posted January 11, 2020 Share Posted January 11, 2020 Sod the premier loans who invariably disappoint This is the type of signing we need to be recruiting - not easy but to say our recruitment has taken a bit of a panning on here recently then nobody can argue with this lad Very impressive 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Farrell Posted January 11, 2020 Share Posted January 11, 2020 Far far too early to big him up. His fitness also looked questionable. That said, well done young man. There is a full back shirt with your name on it. Grab it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His bound to feel it at end nerves and a high tempo game. It's early days but I think he will only grow as being a first team play comes the norm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldowl67 Posted January 11, 2020 Share Posted January 11, 2020 2 hours ago, prowl said: He's a good lad but I'd give him maybe one more game then rest him for a couple. It's easy to burn players out when they just break through, they give everything every time they get on the pitch in an attempt to impress. Just let him catch his breath then maybe 3 or 4 more games I completely fell out with this approach 20 odd years ago when David Pleat used just that rationale to justify dropping Ritchie Humphreys after his sensational start to the 1996-97 season. Top of the Premiership after four straight wins but that was as good as it got. Humphreys was never the same player again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haven't had full backs worthy of our shirt since Roly, Kingy and Irish. Fingers crossed for the lad. It's his shirt to claim. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is not up to speed on the fitness required for Championship football. Come on give the kid a bloody break - he's done absolutely outstanding and you bring his fitness up? 19 year old, in his 2nd competitive game. Bravo. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
