!james Posted April 28, 2013 Report Share Posted April 28, 2013 Hoping Bryan starts or plays after his success at Plymouth. Doesn't sound like Reid impressed too much at Oldham but deserves his chance in pre season Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brizzle Jordan Posted April 28, 2013 Report Share Posted April 28, 2013 Holloway will never be good enough. Bryan will be our best home grown player for years Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Youngish Posted April 28, 2013 Report Share Posted April 28, 2013 Holloway is not good enough for us and will likely be released at the end of the season imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aizoon Posted April 28, 2013 Report Share Posted April 28, 2013 I'd go along with that. The season is dead for both teams, so let's give it a throw. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chappers Posted April 28, 2013 Report Share Posted April 28, 2013 Sadly, at City players are never deemed ready. Bryan should also be back, so start with 2 or 3 youngsters, with another 2/3 on the bench. Let's face it, they can hardly do any worse than the regulars yesterday.

screech Posted April 28, 2013 Report Share Posted April 28, 2013 Are they ready though? Only SOD knows. There is only one way to find out really, play them, give them some games, have a good look at them. Some players excel when you give them a tough challenge, it's a game where the outcome doesn't matter for either team. We are terrible for giving youngsters a go, wasn't Gary Johnson quoted that hey would need about 70 games before he would consider them ready for us, ludicrous.

At least they'll get some experience and maybe do something with that experience. In case you didn't notice we got thumped playing our senior squad, so we'll get thumped anyway. I'd much rather see this team than the one that got us relegated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The difference being that the senior squad got us into this position and the experience of relegation isn't an ideal scenario to chuck youngsters into. That said, I would like to see a couple make the bench again. We will have a full pre-season to give youngsters a chance though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TBW Posted April 28, 2013 Report Share Posted April 28, 2013 Holloway will be released. Reid won't be the player everyone seems to think he can be. Still though. We just had a terrible game, there is nothing gained in the next game and SO'D must realise that this time around. Get Burns, Ajala, Krans, Wilson and Bryan in the game at the very least. Then look at Castanheira, Dobie, Hall and Batten. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BUTOR Posted April 28, 2013 Report Share Posted April 28, 2013 they would get absolutely thumped! what's the point in doing it? They'll get thumped, it's not good for anyone at the football club! Charlton are also calling for some youth to be played in their starting 11. It's a match that means nothing for both sides, so why bother playing the same old boring crap that is likely to be even more heavily thumped than the youngsters? It would also keep the fans from complaining so why not? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Curtis Jones left us two weeks ago (he's now on trial at Oldham apparently) and I reckon 2 more of these will be released next week. That midfield must be the most lightweight I've ever seen.

God only knows what Kelly has done to be one of only 2 usual starters to merit selection, either. i agree entirely and have said so in another post i would be happy to see Bryan Burns and Reid..... possibly Ajala involved in some capacity the rest simply are not ready and the boss knows that as he has been watching them at U21 for weeks... where to be honest they are not ripping up trees. Burns started like a house on fire at FGR M.O.M v Mansfied (champions by the way) scoring the winner v Southport....then struggled while being played at left wing SOD is not keen on wingers in the conventional sense and i suspect if Burns is involved it will be in support of Stead and in place of Davies in a fairly fluid role, using his pace. Hence he may have been slightly irritated with with Hockerday for the way burns was being used if you belive the rumours... i am not sure, i think if he is on the pitch its a learning curve and up to him to adjust. Toby could come on and his pace will be useful late on the rest are not ready from what i have seen anyway Bobby and Joe if available should be involved as well... certainly Joe.

You realise playing one Championship game in a team which they play alongside in the U21 league anyway will teach them nothing? The learning comes from playing alongside the senior players, passing and moving and learning the way they play. Playing with the team that they play alongside every week at a weaker level in the Championship will teach them nothing except how to get thumped. By all means, play Bryan, Burns, maybe one other, but they have to be alongside the senior team in my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sunningdalered Posted April 29, 2013 Report Share Posted April 29, 2013 Thankfully, we appear to have a manager who will not be swayed by any other opinion than his own - and, importantly, would not be the type of person to fall back on the 'well, you got what you asked for' excuses when playing young lads at the wrong time turned pear-shaped. If SOD wants to try something he will, if not, he wont - simples! In the case of youngsters, particularly in midfield, going forward, IMO, he will only play lads who he believes can be productive in a 'possession' style of play - which is a big ask for a 18 / 19 / 20 yo.
