Monkeh Posted March 14, 2014 Report Share Posted March 14, 2014 Nosworthy and Osborne looks on paper like it could be an excellent partnership Nosworthy in the centre williams on the left osborne on the right with bryan and maloney as wing backs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lew-T Posted March 14, 2014 Report Share Posted March 14, 2014 Our defence has suddenly turned into horrible barstewards, makes a nice change if you ask me! Flint, El Abd, Ozzy and now Nosworthy. Very good business from Cotts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carey 6 Posted March 14, 2014 Report Share Posted March 14, 2014 Is he gonna be fit? How many first team games he been playing recently? Last thing we need is for an unfit loanee to come in and then play poorly or get injured like most do when they come down here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nogbad the Bad Posted March 14, 2014 Report Share Posted March 14, 2014 Slight sterotype there NTB. Not sure how, 19 seems a perfectly reasonable age to be seriously knocking on the first team door to me. Good players tend to make the breakthrough fairly early - think Gow, Merrick, at 17, and in an age when football was far more physical than today. Those who hovver 'promisingly' round the fringe of the squad for years into their early 20's, without ever being able to command anything like a regular place, don't generally amount to much. I don't see 21 as a 'youth' player in football terms at all, a really promising player should have made at least a few dozen apps. by then and be looking to be a regular starter. I'm sure Wes Burns for instance will be expecting to be a regular somewhere long before he's 21 in almost 2 years.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are enough players who have fallen into obscurity at that age and then emerged from non-league/the lower leagues in later years to make my point.

Not sure what your point is. I didn't say they should be first team regulars at 19 or immediately get a free transfer, just that 19 is a reasonable age to debut a promising player.

Saying that a player "seen to have potential" should have made their debut 19. Many don't even manage that, before falling into a lower division and climbing back.

Many don't even manage that, before falling into a lower division and climbing back. I didn't actually say that, I said they should be ready to make their debut, if needed. That is they should have the talent to do so, and the club should have confidence they have the necessary character which any professional footballer requires. I'm not sure how many go on to 'climb back from a lower division' from a club like BCFC, as we're already pretty low down the divisions ourselves, but hopefully City won't be a club that pampers and mollycoddles 21/22 year olds with repeated renewed contracts because they might possibly come good later in their careers.

WhistleHappy Posted March 14, 2014 Report Share Posted March 14, 2014 Excellent signing. ...certainly, as emergency signings go this ones not to be sneezed at, wouldnt be surprised if as soon as he heard we were sniffing around he thought to himself "yeah, Bristol City sounds good, come and sinus!"

Davros Posted March 14, 2014 Report Share Posted March 14, 2014 I think given that an injury to Osbourne would bugger us, eminently sensible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aizoon Posted March 14, 2014 Report Share Posted March 14, 2014 Have you on holiday in Syria recently? Sorry. Genuinely don't get the implication I've called for full support for Cotterill ever since I got over O'Driscoll being sacked, which took about a fortnight, and have been quite generous in my praise of his achievements. I worry about the long term but, at present, the short term is more important. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedM Posted March 14, 2014 Report Share Posted March 14, 2014 I think given that an injury to Osbourne would bugger us, eminently sensible. An the fact that he's already been sent off and missed 3 matches for us around Christmas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JamesBCFC Posted March 15, 2014 Report Share Posted March 15, 2014 "His primary position was at the back though sometimes played up front and was occasionally used as an emergency striker with some success"- maybe we've brought him in as a replacement for Barnett Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
