vulva Posted January 11, 2020 Share Posted January 11, 2020 2 games, 2 clean sheets. Its Franco ****** Baresi. Sell him for £39m and buy the ground back. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Farrell Posted January 11, 2020 Share Posted January 11, 2020 Just now, Salmonbones said: It's not questionable, it's lacking - and quite rightly so. 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. Chill Grandad. It's just an observation, not a request to have him euthanised. What you drinking tonight ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sMacLean Posted January 11, 2020 Share Posted January 11, 2020 When you compare his performances to Ash Baker it really hits home how well he has done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That said, well done young man. There is a full back shirt with your name on it. Grab it. His fitness will seem questionable when going from playing U23's to Brighton then Leeds suddenly. He looks a unit, power and pace reminds me of our Dom. Long way to go but he has the physical attributes, time to give him a good run as we know Palmer is average for this level. I have no clue why Dons would let him go though, or not resign him. Unless he didn't want to stay, which would be fair enough.

There'll come a point where we may need to protect him, but it's ridiculous to suggest that dropping him would be the way to do that! Of course it is - he needs to play if he’s good enough (which it looks like he is). Play him, build his confidence and his first team experience. Dropping him would do neither of these but it may damage his confidence and momentum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rhubarb n Custard Posted January 11, 2020 Share Posted January 11, 2020 He's a young lad and provided he keeps his feet firmly planted I see no reason not to continue with him. Would hate to see this start go to his head - need to keep him grounded. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Powers past players in those U23 sides also. Looking forward to seeing him in action, it's his shirt to lose now. Seems a very humble, likeable lad too from the interview last week. Really hope he does well here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wish they'd give the lad a chance to develop without pressure. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pazowl55 Posted January 11, 2020 Share Posted January 11, 2020 Expect him to play until Palmer comes back then would expect Monk to take him out. Keep him grounded. let him know that he hasn't made it yet. Then I expect them to both compete for the shirt for the remainder of the season. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Hunt Posted January 11, 2020 Share Posted January 11, 2020 Loved when he went on that run got in the corner started platting his legs and then he ran out of steam and just pushed Aalioli or whoever he is called over gave the foul away to buy him some time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swiss Toni Posted January 11, 2020 Share Posted January 11, 2020 Was up against one of the best players in the league today in Harrison who is a real danger man and always on the move. Didn't let himself or the side down. Here's hoping his development in the first team continues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crookesowl Posted January 11, 2020 Share Posted January 11, 2020 Little push on Harrison by Urhoghide ahead of him missing that early chance. Just enough to put him off balance but not give the pen. Great stuff. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember being impressed by the debuts of Ash Baker and Matt Penney. Sadly they faded after a few games. This boy looks made of different stuff to me both in physicality and his positive approach to his game. Keep it up young un, there’s nothing better for us old uns than seeing a young player suddenly blossom. There’s been precious few in the last decade.

graz gp Posted January 11, 2020 Share Posted January 11, 2020 He is a big unit and very mobile, not looked out of place. Mr Monk will keep an eye on him and make sure he is handling everything ok. I hope. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's far too early to say he will be first choice for Man City by the end of january - but it's not too early to give him due credit I actually didn't think his fitness did look a bit lacking tbh - some of those lung busting runs in the 2nd half wouldn't be made by a player trying to conserve energy He looks a beast - strong, mobile, quick and determined with no little ability to go with it. I think he looks a different level to Baker and Penney tbh But as you point out it is early days and too early to make long term judgements - but hopefully he continues kicking on 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Hunt Posted January 11, 2020 Share Posted January 11, 2020 No doubt he will be rested at some point personally I didn’t think the gaffer would have played him today but he did and he came up to the mark again well done son Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
