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 Wouldn't disagree with any of that.

Agree, that's the thing. They went toe to toe with a very good, experienced team and bar a few moments of quality from them and some tired legs towards the end, competed admirably. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well I don’t think we should rush to make any decisions. I think Penney looks out of his depth and it’s way too early to make a call on the other two 5 minutes ago, OwlBiSeeinThi said: I think Waldock was a bit dazed after that head clash He faded about an hour before that head clash 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inspector Lestrade Posted September 23, 2020 Share Posted September 23, 2020 2 nil away to a (so called) Premier team is no embarrassment, the younger players can be reasonably pleased with themselves though I hope they are disappointed with the result.

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. Given our priorities this season, I'd rather he have a week on the training pitch than have another cup game to play, too. We've treated each cup game in the same way: as an opportunity to gain match sharpness and game time for the youngsters / squad players. And rightly so. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pastor Kidneys Posted September 23, 2020 Share Posted September 23, 2020 I don't mind that really as long as the 11 we rested turn up on Sunday ... It will p*ss me off if they don't put a good show on with over a weeks rest inbetween games. Some decent performances from the youngsters ... Odubajo MOM for me and now needs to be in the frame for a WB role in the first team ... He's certainly a better option than Penney & Palmer IMO.

Quist Posted September 23, 2020 Share Posted September 23, 2020 Team put good effort tonight but were undone by pace on the break away. Fulham had 4 quick front guys and only Shaw of back 3 has any pace. Many of that team will play on Saturdays for Fulham so were facng tough opposition. Lads will have learned a lot. We had our chances but failed to take them. Think we have promising young players who are not that far away from being Championship players. Few of them gottired in last 15 minutes which is what you would expect. Noticed tonight Dele-Bashiru has some real pace but does not use it as often as he should but certain it will come in due course. Borner still does not look right to me seems really heavy legged at times. Think we need another central defender I can only see Shaw at moment coming into cover for current 3 and he is very much work in progress. Also think his best talents are in midfield as hard running midfield player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dobbyswfc Posted September 23, 2020 Share Posted September 23, 2020 Some reyt moaners on here. Kids played very well for the most part against a massively experienced side. We could have had 3-4 ourselves! Well done those young lads, and fair play to Monk for trusting them! Invaluable experience. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If anybody threw them under a bus it was the senior pros like Borner, Palmer & Reach who didn't match the youngsters effort & application. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

S72 Owl Posted September 23, 2020 Share Posted September 23, 2020 Pleased with the performance tonight. Just lacking a physical presence up top. Really like the look of Shaw and now we’re out of the cup and with Dunkley nearing fitness I’d be tempted to try and get him out on loan. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oldishowl Posted September 23, 2020 Share Posted September 23, 2020 People moaning, same people probably moan that our own youngsters never get a chance and were probably moaning when Monk played Fletcher at Brighton last season and he picked up an injury 4 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
