Yorkie Posted August 3, 2012 Share Posted August 3, 2012 Some lovely goals at Gateshead the other night. Abeid fair belted the first one in! Defending for their goal was horrendous. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fenham Mag Posted August 3, 2012 Share Posted August 3, 2012 Yeh just watched the highlights, Abeid lifted the net up with his goal. Bigi done a trademark Tiote fuck-up too, dribbling it around the centre of defence Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tooj Posted August 3, 2012 Share Posted August 3, 2012 Our bairns ending up in non-league/quitting altogether is extremely common. Never understand that to be honest. Are they just never that good to begin with? Seems to happen to our youngsters (often highly rated ones as well) more than other clubs, but that is probably just down to us actually having an interest in their careers as opposed to youngsters from other clubs. Stopping full-time training makes a massive difference, players suddenly are only training once or twice a week and have to balance the demands of playing and travelling with a job outside of football. On top of this you need the mental drive to play competitively in the knowledge that you top-level dreams are virtually over. That's why you see so many players just slide off the face of the earth within a couple of seasons of their release. True - I suppose it must take a fair bit of drive to make yourself play at non-league level once you have been used to the facilities at a top flight club and knowing that there is very little chance of you making it big. Trying to think now of the players who have been highly rated over the years who have disappeared. Always remember Paul Brayson being tipped for great things. http://blythspartansafc.co.uk/new_php/wp-content/marc_walton.jpg Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Shaun Posted August 3, 2012 Share Posted August 3, 2012 Can't find any pics of Brayson at Reading, he looked like he weighed 20 stone. Only remember him because he played the whole season without scoring a single goal. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest frazernufc Posted August 3, 2012 Share Posted August 3, 2012 Some sort of new competition set up for U21s. We've been placed in probably the most competitive group which can only be good for our players development, only Stoke and Mackems which lack a production of youth talent in ours. http://www1.skysports.com/football/news/11095/7960345/Prem-announce-U21s-competition Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leazes1986 Posted August 3, 2012 Share Posted August 3, 2012 I always remember Brayson being in and around the squad between 95-97 and he looked like he weighed about 4 stone, then I bought the player photos in 97/98 and he looked about 30 stone Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest bimpy474 Posted August 3, 2012 Share Posted August 3, 2012 Brayson is the one KK talked about when we played in Europe isn't he, said we will take some toys on the plane as he was so young. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
durhamunigeordie Posted August 7, 2012 Share Posted August 7, 2012 Michael Hoganson (one of last years U18s?) has signed a one year deal at Derby. Left back wasn't he? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Posted August 8, 2012 Share Posted August 8, 2012 http://blythspartansafc.co.uk/new_php/wp-content/marc_walton.jpg Walton is a great example of a player who clearly had talent, but just couldn't get head straight, even at Blyth he looked good for that level (Conference North at the time), now he's knocking around the lower reaches of the Northern League.

Newcastle Fan Posted August 8, 2012 Share Posted August 8, 2012 Reserves drew 1-1 with Leeds earlier, Vuckic scored again, his second in two days, Him, Good and Abeid all played the first half of the game. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems Gosling is ahead as well, he also seems to see amalfitano as a wide player. Probably due to his physique Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
durhamunigeordie Posted August 8, 2012 Share Posted August 8, 2012 Yea, but then I guess that is natural given that Gosling is technically more senior than most of them. This season is make or break for Gosling's career here. I hope he does well personally, think he has been written off prematurely by a few. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
summerof69 Posted August 14, 2012 Share Posted August 14, 2012 http://www.nufc.co.uk/articles/20120814/oldham-res-1-newcastle-res-2_2281670_2882446? Young Adam Campbell's memorable week continued as he scored for the Reserves in their final friendly of the summer at Oldham's Chapel Road training ground. The 17-year-old impressed on his first-team debut at Cardiff on Saturday and gave Newcastle's second-string the lead with a poachers' goal against the Latics. Bradden Inman doubled the advantage before a trialist pulled one back for the hosts, but manager Willie Donachie - returning to one of his former clubs - felt the Magpies deserved the win, although Jak Alnwick made some important saves in the United goal. Campbell put his team ahead as he got in front of a defender at the near post to divert Yven Moyo's low cross into the net before Inman scored with a smart finish. The visitors were also denied what seemed a certain penalty when Michael Richardson was brought down after cutting inside to shoot. Oldham included former Newcastle youngster Dan Taylor but despite scoring late on, they couldn't force an equaliser as Newcastle gained a confidence-boosting victory ahead of their opening game of the Barclays Under-21 Premier League against Tottenham on Saturday. Newcastle United Reserves: Jak Alnwick, Alex Nicholson (sub Steven Logan), Lubo Satka, Curtis Good, Yven Moyo (sub Michael Riley), Marcus Maddison (sub Brandon Miele), Conor Newton, Michael Richardson, Mehdi Abeid, Bradden Inman (sub Dennis Knight), Adam Campbell (sub JJ Hooper) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cajun Posted August 16, 2012 Share Posted August 16, 2012 I would send Vuckic, and Gosling on a season long loan now we have signed Anita and send Abeid and Bigi on alternate half season loans. We have the bodies imo, long term it will benefit the players & the club plus Gosling needs a full season of regular football to see what he is capable of. Tiote, Cabaye, Anita, Jonas, Amalfitano, Abeid/Bigi, HBA, Marveaux and Obertan should be enough whether we play 4-3-3, 4-4-2, 4-2-1-3 or whatever.

BottledDog Posted August 16, 2012 Share Posted August 16, 2012 Vuckic, Furguson and maybe Tav could go out on loan at a stretch, but I wouldn't want to see anyone else leave. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
aussiemag Posted August 16, 2012 Share Posted August 16, 2012 I agree, Gosling needs a full season in the Championship. Vuckic I would send to a more technical league, like a mid-table Dutch side on loan. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
