ToonTastic Posted July 6, 2014 Share Posted July 6, 2014 Really hope this lad makes it. ANOTHER development squad failure and we may as well just scrap the system (like Keegan). Who didn't actually scrap the system. Yes he disbanded the reserve team and yes he said he regretted doing it but his reasons for doing it were correct and the team would have started again whether Dalglish came to the club or not. Forcing us to play reserve games at St James was wrong, it should be club choice and was having a detrimental effect on the club at the time as the pitch wasn't as good as now.

Guest bimpy474 Posted July 6, 2014 Share Posted July 6, 2014 Was the same for every club though wasn't it? Aye it was, but i remember at the time our pitch was awful and KK asked if we could play the 6 (i think that was the number you had to play) compulsory reserve games away from St. James' Park, to give the pitch a rest.

That and KK had been given assurances it wouldn't just be him protesting, unfortunately other clubs didn't follow through, that's why he said he regretted going through with it. Turns out next season the rules changed though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Common misconception that.. Gave me a whole new level of disrespect towards Dogleash. Was the only leg he had to stand on for why he spectacularly failed here... well that and him being an over hyped, dour, shithouse. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimburst Posted July 23, 2014 Share Posted July 23, 2014 So this kid looked all-right, yesterday? Was it his flick that set up the 4th? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jimburst Posted July 23, 2014 Share Posted July 23, 2014 The commentator yesterday said that he'd been bought as an addition to the 'developmental squad' but really would he not be looking for first team action at this stage? He's been scoring well in the second tier...I hope he starts on the bench really. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jack Flash Posted July 23, 2014 Share Posted July 23, 2014 Saw one good thing from him in the few bits I watched. He Beardsley'd past a few defenders on the edge of the box then FIRED over. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

M4 Posted August 17, 2014 Share Posted August 17, 2014 Explosiveness is a valuable asset, plus is fun to watch. Hopefully we can see him in some sort of partnership up front... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

nufcjb Posted August 17, 2014 Share Posted August 17, 2014 Knew he was too good for the Developmental team. Nice to see him today. Hope he builds confidence from that today and keeps pushing for a chance. Doubt Riviere will be hot on form consistently. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
M1tche Posted August 17, 2014 Share Posted August 17, 2014 Looks like this one could be a surprise to most, seems to have no fear and abit of talent to back it up. Hope can get him in a 2 up top and see how we do. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pre season looked able and probably surprised everyone. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
