BetterRedthanBlue Posted September 5, 2020 Report Share Posted September 5, 2020 Cundy (Cambridge) - started and scored and knocked out Brum. Smith (Swindon) - scored for them in a losing effort (came off the bench) Janneh (Newport) - unused sub Edwards (Grimsby) - came on in a losing effort (albeit in a penalty shootout) Nurse (Walsall) - came on in a losing effort again via penalty shootout Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I may be laughed at for saying this, but I've watched this back several times and the touch, the instant control, the way he drifts inside, dummies to shoot, delays, shifts the ball further to the left and then calmly places it... Remind you of anyone? I thought it very reminiscent of Jay Emmanuel Thomas - and I can't think of much higher praise then that in terms of pure skill. And agree, the composure is remarkable.

It was a superb piece of control, it reminded me a little of that Messi goal in the world cup in that, he used it to drop the ball in just the right place. It's interesting though how people react to his control compared to say, Jack Hunt who is not as popular, but showed some great touches when taking long passes yesterday.

It's interesting though how people react to his control compared to say, Jack Hunt who is not as popular, but showed some great touches when taking long passes yesterday. I really have no idea why Hunt is so maligned. Just another example, I suppose, of typical, almost random OTIB targeting of individual players by a minority of posters. He's a more than adequate Championship wing-back (though I do tend to agree with the widely held view that he's perhaps a little less comfortable as an orthodox RB). I also agree with what you say about his performance yesterday, and would go further and say he does this routinely. On most occasions we've seen him play - and that's quite a lot now - his first touch has been consistently good. I've rarely if ever seen him fail to control a pass. The fact that he brings the ball down smoothly and quickly gives him an extra split second to get his head up and pick a pass or cross, which again he does consistently well. Some people seem to slag him off as a matter of course. It's ridiculously unfair. He'll do for me. I've seen a hell of a lot worse at RB for City over the years.

Nelly GTFC Posted September 9, 2020 Report Share Posted September 9, 2020 Hey guys, hope you have a good season. I've not posted in here for a few years. Onura Edwards seems a really good prospect, Ian Holloway said tonight "Sometimes I'm glad I'm retired when you see players (Edwards) like that with all that skill, you know I've just got to thank Bristol City, I love him to bits, he's got all sorts of bits and pieces that are really really exciting and Brian Tinnion came all the way up to watch him tonight, and I I'm sure he will like some of my own young players who played tonight....... Harrogate had 7 players from their promotion winning team in the starting line up, Grimsby Town had 9 players who are new, a mixture of mainly youth, academy loan and two young players from non-league.

Edwards and Benaryous (sp?) are the ones to watch aren't they. Maybe Britton as well although he's obviously a bit more raw. Excited to see what Pring does at Pompey as well.

Davefevs Posted September 12, 2020 Report Share Posted September 12, 2020 J.Smith, Cundy and O.Edwards start. G.Nurse on bench. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ExiledAjax Posted September 12, 2020 Report Share Posted September 12, 2020 3 points and a clean sheet for Cundy. Grimsby lost 1-0, but Edwards played 90 and is mentioned a few times in the Grimsby match report, mainly for a long shot on 30 mins, and then for winning a free kick on the edge of the box. Seems like he had a decent game despite the result. Swindon won 3-1 - think Smith played 90, but doesn't look like he was involved in the goals. Pring an unused sub for Pompey. Janneh was subbed on at 65 mins, but doesn't seem to have had much impact as Newport drew 1-1 with Scunthorpe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As you said he's getting on a bit now but at league one level he should get a few and looking at his goals he scored for Pompey on YouTube he certainly mixes things up from six yard poaching, to headers from crosses, shots from outside the box and a decent penalty taker. The problem at the moment is he was treated poorly by Kenny Jacket and hasn't had a proper pre season so isn't yet match fit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The problem at the moment is he was treated poorly by Kenny Jacket and hasn't had a proper pre season so isn't yet match fit He wasn`t used anything like how he should have been. He would be on the bench and come on, bang two in, and then be back on the bench or dropped the next week. On the rare occasions he did start he was stuck out wide and then that was used as an excuse for dropping him again. The bloke is a poacher FFS not a bloody winger! He never really got a run in the side despite delivering when called upon and eventually left to go back to Bournemouth. He was a very talented player who knew where the net was and could hit a ball harder than anyone I`ve seen at City since Alan Walsh and should have had twice the goals for us that he did. As you can probably tell, I`m still bitter about how he was treated by us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
