Now it may be something about the individual themselves? Not sure the fact that not 100% of academy players will make it to the first team is a revelation. Not a single academy on the planet will achieve that. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Kid in the Riot Posted January 9 Popular Post Share Posted January 9 Quality from Nahki and King. I know both could do with some minutes but plenty of senior pros coming towards the end of their careers would think an u-21s game beneath them, and rule themselves out of playing. These two not only make themselves available but relish playing alongside the youngsters, and help out with their development. We're very lucky to have both. Class acts. 44 2 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Totally agree , I always new Andy King was a top bloke / team member what ever you want to call it , but I must admit for his first part of his time here I was really disappointed with Wells , always looked miserable didn’t look like he put the effort in etc etc how wrong I was seems to work well with the youngsters has proven himself even when not scoring puts a shift in and as Pearson said puts himself up for these u21 matches , always seems to celebrate with the scorer especially Tommy , even when Wells is sub 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ciderwithtommy Posted January 9 Share Posted January 9 Yeboah back in the 18s full time, not even close to the first team squad as it stands, and apparently very poor in the 18s match.

I think I would be more inclined to believe that if Nige hadn’t brought him on as a sub 9 times. Some of those who have been on the bench but never got on might be in that category (Nelson, Araoye, Backwell) maybe, but can’t think he would be putting someone on the pitch that often if that was the case. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Araoye Captain in that line up is interesting, but could also be a way of getting him into the thoughts of some scout's looking for loans. A fair number have already been told their futures lie elsewhere. Captaincy has been moved around since Backwell got injured against Sunderland who was named 21s skipper a couple of days before that game. McCrorie looked a little rusty (as you would expect) first 15/20 mins. After that very good. Strong, committed - really powerful going forward with very good delivery and shirks nothing. Good on the ball too (for a big lad!)! Put a real shift in. GT will have his work cut out once RM is fully match fit. 4 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This has been discussed plenty but getting forward isn't really Tanners game. He's not a Kyle Walker. He's a defender. From what ive seen he tends to slot in at rcb whilst Pring is the one to get forward. If Tanner is told to not make forward runs, then I'm not sure we can criticise him for that? With RM soon to be back it could be that Pring is instructed to tuck in at lcb as RM gets forward. Or they alternate. It gives good options.

Well yes, as I said, I'm a fan of his, and not a criticism as such, but the fact is that he doesn't make forward runs (whether instructed to or not), which is something that I love to see from a full back, hence why I'm excited to see McCrorie play.

Nige has chosen one way (stick young un's not ready on the bench and get them on the pitch), Liam another (only stick players who are up to it on the bench and if the bench is not filled so be it). Both are entirely reasonable courses of action imo and sending exactly the same message. I don't call it "dissent" to make a perfectly valid point to the hierarchy that new bodies are required in the building, however if the powers that be are sensitive enough to deem it as "dissent" to their authority then we all know what will happen to Liam in due course...... Our current and previous Manager have both encountered this unhelpful situation, which any sane person would accept reasonably affects "our chances of success", due to the incompetence of the hierarchy over a long period. Obviously Liam cannot point that out so he has to give some sort of hint that he needs new bodies in the building. He would be failing HIMSELF if he didn't. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
