SiJ Posted January 12, 2020 Share Posted January 12, 2020 (edited) So they released him because he went above and beyond the fitness program they'd laid out for him? How odd. Suppose some coaching staff are sticklers for the rules, but still. Edited January 12, 2020 by SiJ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yet likes of Ronaldo and Lampard are used as examples to young players as players who surpassed their natural ability by working so hard and doing extra training etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronnie Starling Posted January 12, 2020 Share Posted January 12, 2020 What's all this rubbish about " I don't think we should play him at Leeds or we should rest him for a few games"? fizz that you play your best players when they are available. If you are good enough you are old enough. This kid had nothing in the summer, now he has a big opportunity and the hunger, desire and application to go with it. He plays until injury or form states otherwise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Owls-Fan Posted January 12, 2020 Share Posted January 12, 2020 I love reading this bit.. seems we might have a player on our hands here boys and girls. He’d put me down as a reference and Sheffield Wednesday contacted me and asked ‘what’s wrong with him?’ It’s not often a young player like that just falls on your doorstep.” 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beholder Posted January 12, 2020 Share Posted January 12, 2020 He is strong . But when Palmer is fit he has to get the nod in my opinion. He's so much more experienced and much better on the ball. I don't think Urhorghide is a completely trusted pass option at present. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
benitocarbonara Posted January 12, 2020 Share Posted January 12, 2020 Looked nervous from limited highlights but who wouldn't be. attitude seems amazing seems excited and grateful for the chance he has and seems to understand that millions would love for the chance he has. Think he could be moulded into something good for the team Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Palmer is a known entity, he's not changing or going away. This kid could be the real deal, we won't know unless we give him a crack. If it were me - Palmer over an exciting new youngster who's had a couple of cracks and not looked out of place? Well, i'd be letting the new lad have his chance.

toppOwl Posted January 12, 2020 Share Posted January 12, 2020 He's been a breath of fresh air so far, lets hope he can continue in this vein, its a crying shame that our academy can't produce a player like this but AFC Wimbledons can. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sMacLean Posted January 13, 2020 Share Posted January 13, 2020 Only way he could injure himself that long was with weight training being too heavy or too prolonged realistically. He'll know one of the big reasons kids don't make it is they aren't powerful enough, as discussed in the Alex Hunt thread. Temptation must be there to overdo it but it's a harsh reality that if your out for half a season for not listening your in bother. Glad we got him.

Inspector Lestrade Posted January 13, 2020 Share Posted January 13, 2020 Time will tell but so far so good. Far from the finished product but only way he will progress is to play him. No reason not to play him next week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure he was at Wimbledon for too long Fair enough they scouted and recruited him But then so did we Not many players go through the academy system at one club any more - recruitment is the biggest part of the academy system and fair do's to us if we picked up a gem for nothing Who cares what system he developed at - looks like CB Hounslow FC in the Combined Counties League (about 5 divisions below league 2) was his grounding in the game Wimbledon didn't develop him but they did give him a chance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clubs like Wimbledon live hand to mouth - they simply cannot afford to pay wages to players who are out long term They have a tiny first team squad and need everybody to contribute At times such clubs will release players - but their finances cannot allow them to keep players who aren't contributing 99.9% of the time the players they release will drift out of the game maybe for once we have struck lucky at their misfortune Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Philb125 Posted January 13, 2020 Share Posted January 13, 2020 Great to see the lad come through and have such an impressive Professional debut and league debut too. Sure he’s a lot to learn and that learning curve will be steep but assuming we’re patient and he is too no reason why he can’t go from strength to strength and make a first team spot his. He has a naivety to his game, that I’m sure through playing more, being around first team more and watching from bench more he’ll learn very quickly when to go down under heavy challenge or when to hit a safe long ball rather than a tricky/risky pass. That you can learn, what you can’t learn is his athleticism and power, which he seems to have in Abundance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
