ExiledAjax Posted January 2, 2022 Share Posted January 2, 2022 I do like to see a number of club produced players, just wish it didn't have to come with such a young XI. I want a team of Bristolians, or at least of academy guys, but the dream is to have them playing for us in their prime years. Bit nervous here tbh. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now it’s through choice - whether that’s because they’ve improved or because others have lost form. To me, that’s a huge positive. Last season gave Nige to opportunity to get an early look and set the strategy. 11 minutes ago, billywedlock said: sky red button, perfect .

Bar BS3 Posted January 2, 2022 Share Posted January 2, 2022 12 minutes ago, Mr Hankey said: Teams dont survive in this division playing that many academy players! Whilst it may look great to some, i really cannot see us surviving with that lineup. Hoping to be proven extremely wrong of course! Agreed. Whilst it's great to blood some youngsters, I don't agree that that is anywhere near our strongest available line up & unless it proves to be a masterstroke (NP sees them everyday in training & knows far more than I do about them) that looks like a petulant message to SL from the manager, that we are in need of more players (like we don't all know that!) I don't think it's fair on the kids to dump them all in the same team together. I hope I'm wrong & we are developing our own "class of 92" - but let's be honest, we probably aren't...! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jerseybean Posted January 2, 2022 Author Share Posted January 2, 2022 NP and the fans know what the experienced players offer and he has clearly made decisions about what all of them offer and whether or not they are part of the future. NP knows better than us what the youngsters can offer. Based on his selection today he has more faith in them than in many of the senior players (albeit there are are other variables involved including injuries.) Whatever the result today I hope that we will see good performances from the youngsters - as we have already witnessed from those he’s been starting with such as Pring and Scott. Come on you young Reds! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harry Posted January 2, 2022 Share Posted January 2, 2022 1 hour ago, Harry said: Here’s my predicted line up. 4-2-3-1 similar to how we played v QPR but Tanner, King & Weimann out, Towler, Massengo & Benarous in O’Leary Vyner Kalas Towler Pring Massengo James Benarous Scott O’Dowda Semenyo Nearly right. I knew that the 7 ‘products’ were starting - Max Vyner Towler Pring Benarous Scott Semenyo. Knew Kalas James & O Dowda would be in too. Was just a case of who was gonna be the 2nd centre mid. Wondered if he might put Han in instead of Weimann but seems he may be going for Scott to play CM instead. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pongo88 Posted January 2, 2022 Share Posted January 2, 2022 37 minutes ago, Lew-T said: Brian Tinnion take a bow. Tinnion is doing a good job, but there’s another way of looking at it. Palmer, Massengo, Dasilva and Nag were signed in quick succession, but the first 3 can’t get in the team and Nagy was given away. Nigel Pearson has no choice but to play young players because of the shambles he inherited. I’m sure the young players will come good but it would be nice to have a bit of experience as well.

S_C Posted January 2, 2022 Share Posted January 2, 2022 Looking forward to this wave of positivity translating to a measured, 'learning curve' response should we not get a result today.. All well and good seeing youngsters in the XI, the questions is are they there through requirement, merit or a bit of both. If this lineup had been quoted at the start of the season then the conclusion could only have been that we're in much deeper trouble than any of us acknowledged. Of course it's nice to see the academy bearing fruit, however it's much easier to enthuse that the youngsters are included on merit than it is to contemplate otherwise.
