Shaw the pick of the young guns. Waldock faded badly after a good start, Brennan much better in second half Kachunga did. himself no favours either I think Waldock was a bit dazed after that head clash Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Manwë Posted September 23, 2020 Share Posted September 23, 2020 Are we now too successful, so that premier League teams are raising their game to try and get a result against us, or take us to penalties to try and sneak through to next round?

Thought he was really good in the first half, seemed to be all over the place pressuring their back line and indirectly creating us lots of opportunities by making them misplace passes. He's got strength, pace, good feet and strong in the air. Faded in the second, but most did after we missed that early chance to be fair. Very excited to see him more this season.

striker Posted September 23, 2020 Share Posted September 23, 2020 Disappointed with the result, but pleased with the level we competed at against very good opposition. Not too much in the attacking areas, but Shaw impressed me again. Pelupessy also got through a lot of work, marshalling a very inexperienced midfield. These players won't face any better teams in the championship this season and this experience will help when called on. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Kagoshimaowl Posted September 23, 2020 Share Posted September 23, 2020 Sorry but for me that starting lune up was not acceptable. Throwing kids under the bus against Premier League opposition. Why can’t fit lads like Bannan, Iorfa, Lees play? I tell you now, we would have had a good chance of winning that if we’d just mixed some seniors with the kids, but oh no, our manager would rather just have a week on the training pitch. He’s still a poor manager in my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This seems to be the gist of most comments on his games so far. Some people saying he looks a beast and a great prospect, others saying he'll never make a footballer in a million years. My guess, as with most things, would be somewhere in the middle. He's 19 and has only played a couple of senior games. Inconsistency should be expected. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly the kind of experience they need and should hopefully do them the world of good. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dear me, one defeat to our second string and a Monk hater appears. Crawl back under your rock. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
