OwlsfaninNorway Posted September 23, 2020 Share Posted September 23, 2020 So, the Mickey Mouse cup is over. But it has brought important experience to plenty of youngsters. Have any of them impressed you to the extent that you would want them to start league games? Either immediately or maybe in the near future? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Errol Flashman Posted September 23, 2020 Share Posted September 23, 2020 I wouldn't be breakin the first team up But these kids have shown that can step in if someone's got a knock and do us a job. Without costing us a bloody fortune when they're not in the first eleven. 9 Just a bloke. Being dragged along in a world that moves too quick for it's own good.

Guest mkowl Posted September 23, 2020 Share Posted September 23, 2020 The objective is really for them to be able to step up and integrate into the first team as needed, but not all at the same time. Jos made a mess of it by trying to do 3 or 4 at once and weakened the team, destroying their confidence Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andrew6666 Posted September 23, 2020 Share Posted September 23, 2020 2-0 against PL opposition that put 5 in against us not long ago, and it was our second team. It was a better result than I thought we would get. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because no one takes it seriously. Times moved on unfortunately and no one in the premier league cares about silverware anymore, its merely about ‘survival’ so the wealthy owners can make a profit from their business investment. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OwlBiSeeinThi Posted September 23, 2020 Share Posted September 23, 2020 They are great backup and should be gradually integrated this season. They play with confidence and certainly asserted themselves the first half tonight. But, as expected youthful inexperience showed a few times with risky passes that could cost us if we're not careful. On the whole I think they will all be assets to the club and see occasional first team action this season. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
striker Posted September 23, 2020 Share Posted September 23, 2020 Been really impressed by Shaw, and Hunt previously. Dele-Bashiru also has something about him. Wouldn't suggest they dislodge any of the current starting line up at the moment, but certainly in the frame if form dips, or to cover fatigue, suspension or injuries. Of the younger players, these are the most credible first team challengers. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonestown83 Posted September 23, 2020 Share Posted September 23, 2020 No Waldock looked decent for half an hour then faded badly the two at the back where overly tentative and constantly out of position leaving massive holes throughout the game and the sole blame for this seems to be being put on borner because he’s older not saying there might not be something there but right here right now their not taking anybody’s place in the first team and need to be loaned out however due to the lack of squad depth they can’t be deli on the other hand looks to be a great signing strong athletic and bursts forward with the ball at his feet not really something we’ve had since Carlton Palmer he’s the type of player that two good seasons at this level he’s a £15m player Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bluesteel Posted September 23, 2020 Share Posted September 23, 2020 Hunt and FDB are the obvious ones. Are shaw and Brennan midfielders that we’ve just stuck at CB? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Signed on the cheap, more or less nowt but you’d bet City will have a sell on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought he was mad but at the final whistle I thought it had been brilliant management to give the lad experience and show confidence in him in a game like that. The following few months proved he didn’t have a f**King clue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheEnchanter Posted September 23, 2020 Share Posted September 23, 2020 Can't believe they didn't absolutely batter Fulham with their £100M+ team. I simply cannot believe it. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HarryPlopper Posted September 23, 2020 Share Posted September 23, 2020 The issue is too many at once. I'd have liked a few more older heads alongside a couple less newly blooded. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
