gordie Posted March 20, 2011 Report Share Posted March 20, 2011 Couldn't make yesterdays game and just wondered how Spence had played as the previous 3 games i thought he didn't do to well, the main downside being his distribution(where have we heard that before about our fullbacks) anyway hopefully he did ok.

Rob k Posted March 20, 2011 Report Share Posted March 20, 2011 Thought he did ok? However, I can't see the point in playing another clubs 19 year old when we have our own on the bench who's not been tried yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, I can't see the point in playing another clubs 19 year old when we have our own on the bench who's not been tried yet. I wonder if we're looking at Spence for a perm signing in the summer? He has looked pretty good to me. He has the ability on the ball but needs experience. Ribeiro is made of glass and much as I want to see him succeed he has little time left to convince he's worth persisting with because of his injuries. Not seen Edwards but presumably the management team have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fair comment about Riberio, he looks to have the ability going forward but defensively he is a bit naive but he is never going to get the experience when he is injured as much as he is, as for Jordan im sure your right about him needing the experience but now that we look pretty much safe could we not give Edwards a couple of games there, im sure Millen said he thinks he has the ability and is one to look out for so maybe we should have a look now in a couple of games Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Certainly agree now is a good time to look at the younger players - maybe one more win first though. We only have Spence until the 31st March as things stand? Are Danny Ball and the two Irish lads worth a spot on the bench as well? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BCFC Jordan Posted March 20, 2011 Report Share Posted March 20, 2011 I have nothing against Spence but I really feel it's now or never for Joe Edwards. I know Keith wants a succesful end to the season but if he's 'One for the future' like he's claimed in some interviews on BCFC Player, then surely he is good enough to play now just needs match experience. With nothing important to play for it really is the perfect time now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveF Posted March 20, 2011 Report Share Posted March 20, 2011 Spence only has a 28 day loan so there can't be too long left? Also isn't his natural position centre-back? Maybe if we are looking at him as a permanent signing he could replace Caulker when he leaves? Spence supposedly has masses of potential. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrahamC Posted March 20, 2011 Report Share Posted March 20, 2011 I wonder if we're looking at Spence for a perm signing in the summer? He has looked pretty good to me.

Ribeiro is made of glass and much as I want to see him succeed he has little time left to convince he's worth persisting with because of his injuries. Not seen Edwards but presumably the management team have. I think we are looking at Spence in that way. Our other RB options are Carey, a fantastic servant (out of contract this summer) but who will be 35 during next season, Ribeiro, as you say very injury prone, and with minimal Championship experience, Hunt, already mentioned elsewhere today and Edwards, who is also out of contract in the summer and the fact that KM has now gone for Spence on loan rather than give him a run when they are virtually the same age may well be significant. I'd doubt more than one out of those first four will be with us next season but possibly Spence could also be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jon atyeo is my dad Posted March 20, 2011 Report Share Posted March 20, 2011 Unless were signing him in the summer I want our own youth playing! He's got potential though. But just thinking outside the box , could millen be bringing this west ham player through with an eye on getting better quality west ham youth next season ? Just a thought Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robbored Posted March 20, 2011 Report Share Posted March 20, 2011 Spence has been ok and gone about his role in steady but not spectacular fashion. He didn't get forward much yesterday but then neither Nyantanga on the other side and that may well have been team orders. Positionally he looked aware and I can remember only one time when he was out of position. We haven't yet seen him up against some one like Albert and it will be interesting to see how he copes against real pace and quick feet. So far so good I'd say.

Red Cloud Posted March 20, 2011 Report Share Posted March 20, 2011 with 8 games left and looking pretty safe now I hope we'll see a few kids blooded in - couldn't think of a better time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KP8 Posted March 20, 2011 Report Share Posted March 20, 2011 i thought that was his last game for us yesterday unless it gets extended and by the way he seamed to clap the crowd yesterday at the end it looked to me as if he was going back to WHU! Which would be a shame as i thought he had his best game for us yesterday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

miketh2nd Posted March 20, 2011 Report Share Posted March 20, 2011 was harshly used as a scapegoat last game had a decent game and supported Adomah when he thought we were dominating play, one of the biggest reasons our full backs haven't attacked the flanks much this season we don't keep the ball enough for the defenders to not to always rush back although of course they should this anyway. also Cisse always covering a defender who attacks I've noticed also instantly replacing that player. Having said that all I wouldn't be surprised if we were looking at him but possibly to replace Caulker in CB his more favored position. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ron Posted March 21, 2011 Report Share Posted March 21, 2011 He said on Player when he arrived that he was discussing a contract extension with West Ham. Remember they might be in our league next season, too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BCFCfan Posted March 21, 2011 Report Share Posted March 21, 2011 Keef said were trying to extend it. Spence is right back that can play centre back (from the horses mouth). I say play a few youngsters in these final games. In all areas of the pitch (not at the same time).... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
