Thespence Posted October 19, 2008 Share Posted October 19, 2008 The reserves is no longer a really good indicator to how good a young player is as it glorified youth league. The pool of players that play for the for U18 & reserve team is nearly the same. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest sicko2ndbest Posted October 19, 2008 Share Posted October 19, 2008 Ranger has the pace and power to become a kenwyne jones/drogba type player as he has some ability to go with his size Note i said potential and in no way am i infering he is at that level Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The pool of players that play for the for U18 & reserve team is nearly the same. the reserves was NEVER much of an indicator anyway I think you could see how young players played against men with league experience. The Northumberland Cup is a bit of taster but most of them players dont have the nous of pro footballers. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Optimistic Nut Posted October 19, 2008 Share Posted October 19, 2008 The reserves is no longer a really good indicator to how good a young player is as it glorified youth league. The pool of players that play for the for U18 & reserve team is nearly the same. Agreed. The only player I've seen at that level the last couple of seasons where I've thought, "he's going to be good" Was Insua against us at St James' last season.

marko1892 Posted October 19, 2008 Share Posted October 19, 2008 Its hard to think was it Swindon he went on trial with before signing for us? I haven't seen him in action apart from that goal he scored against Wigan the video off youtube. Well I don't think anyone can argue with his goals to games ratio with the reserves and with the current state of our first team he may get a call up by the end of the season.

Guest rosstoon Posted October 20, 2008 Share Posted October 20, 2008 One of my mates use to watch him at saints and said he was class. Was involved in some gang in Southampton which got him locked up in a young offenders. They said he was as good in his positiona s baleand Theo were in theirs but couldnt keep him as they did not want his sort involved with their club. Same as the main reason Wright-Phillips and Nathan Dyer (loaned too sheff utd) arent playing for them aswell Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyeDubbleYoo Posted October 20, 2008 Share Posted October 20, 2008 Got to be at least on the bench for City, the lad can't stop scoring. Bearing in mind we won't be able to buy a goal if Owen and Oba are bopth out, seems like a good time to gamble on the lad. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest toonlass Posted October 20, 2008 Share Posted October 20, 2008 Can't see why he couldn't be given 20 minutes at the end of this game. Whether we are winning or not the lad should be given a run out. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thespence Posted October 20, 2008 Share Posted October 20, 2008 He has been on the bench quite a few times this season. PLEASE REMEMBER FOLKS WE ARE IN A RELEGATION BATTLE!!!! Not the best time to start whacking kids on for a run out. If you want to see bright young things given a few minutes for the chance of stardom tune into X-Factor.

Guest toonlass Posted October 20, 2008 Share Posted October 20, 2008 Personally I don't think its for stardom. He is a good footballer. He is a cocky shit too. If Shola is not performing (and from what I have seen of Shola this season he is not setting premiership games alight) why not put the lad on. I think his ego could cope with it, I think he has more pace than Shola and I think he would love to be involved, relegation battle or not. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thespence Posted October 20, 2008 Share Posted October 20, 2008 KK, JFK & Chris "Ian Huntley" Houghton have not played him when he he has been on the bench because they don't think he is ready Of course all 3 of them could be fuck wits. He maybe needs to come into the side in a FA Cup game if we get lower league team or if we get a few wins on the bounce. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

AyeDubbleYoo Posted October 20, 2008 Share Posted October 20, 2008 We might be in a relegation battle, but with our other options upfront a bright, confident young striker who has been scoring regularly might be just what we need to get us a goal. It's the experienced campaigners who have failed to deliver this season remember. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
