Agreed. All over the pitch and so accurate with the one touch passes. Bannan’s taken him under his wing apparently, and it’s already showing in his play. Tremendous prospect for us.

S72 Owl Posted September 15, 2020 Share Posted September 15, 2020 Really like the look of all 3. Think all will play a part this season. I think Hunts problem could be he’s probably competing with Bannan for a place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
graz gp Posted September 15, 2020 Share Posted September 15, 2020 It was only Rochdale, but all the young lad's did great. Reach put a shift in but those misses spoilt what was a good performance from him. uto Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bluesteel Posted September 15, 2020 Share Posted September 15, 2020 Really impressive result. Typically playing so many academy players against a league 2 side means we lose the physical battle and struggle but to see we dominated is really encouraging Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frastheowl Posted September 15, 2020 Share Posted September 15, 2020 Hunt is a classy performer. Excited about him. He's looked good whenever he's played, but I felt tonight, he seemed to thrive under the increased expectation of him. He's often played alongside Bannan, or other experienced pros. Today, he seemed to relish been the main man in midfield. And Dele-Bashiru...TANK. I was disappointed with his debut against Walsall, but he looked formidable at times tonight. On numerous occasions, he ran past players like they weren't there, and shrugged challenges off like he was playing an Under 18's side. Very impressive physically. Thought the back three looked composed and comfortable throughout. The fact Shaw is naturally a midfielder, wouldn't be noticed on tonights performance. Couple of errors, but on the whole, a very accomplished display. Brennan also. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well done Steve Haslam and Monk for putting some faith into them. Maybe Shaw & Hunt can get a loan out to League 1 or 2 this year and get consistent games at a decent level. Hunt will be needed for the first team for sure. Maybe loan Shaw to someone until Christmas and then reassess. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shaw is a little bit behind in his development, but based on tonight, Hunt looks like he can push for a first team place. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shiregreenowl 80 Posted September 15, 2020 Share Posted September 15, 2020 Dele looks great prospect, able to run at defenders with pace and power and looks very calm for someone who was only playing his 2nd professional game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quist Posted September 15, 2020 Share Posted September 15, 2020 They all did extremely well and have come on a great deal since previous games. Thought Brennan did really well until he got tired in last 15 minutes when made a couple of errors. Monk replaced him at the right time but he played very well in first half.

Binky Griptite Posted September 15, 2020 Share Posted September 15, 2020 I'm excited. I thought to a man they all played like they were: A) Relishing the step up in their development and fully prepared to show they can be relied on for the next round Or B) Ready to take advantage of the opportunity to put themselves in the first team plans for the weekend. There wasn't even a whiff of a seasoned pro resentful of the fact they had to turn out against bloody Rochdale in the bloody Mickey Mouse Cup, which is something we've all too regularly had in previous years. It looked like everyone was in it together. 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd like to see them get game time week in and out - silly as it sounds Covid might make young players consider staying put to be nearer to family. Chuff it, we're always very cautious with our younger players, nothing to lose this year starting on minus points, let's chuck them in and back them when they get on the pitch. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JOHNHARKES Posted September 15, 2020 Share Posted September 15, 2020 (edited) All superb tonight Dele has potential to be a Really special player IF he continues to progress. Has everything needed to be a great championship midfielder. I would give man of the match to Hunt tonight thought he was absolutely superb.

Guest Posted September 15, 2020 Share Posted September 15, 2020 I’ve always known Shaw as a midfielder, but don’t think he looked out of place tonight , ready for the championship ?potentially not but there’s a definitely a good player there Brennan , tonight is the first proper look at him for me , he made a couple of errors but I think on the whole had a great debut, think Dom Howson has him down as pick of the bunch Alex Hunt looks ready for the first team, that kids a player , impressive tonight and I think MOM for me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
