JoeAman08 Posted April 24, 2016 Report Share Posted April 24, 2016 Anyone who's been close to the first team or talk about loaning them out next season. For sure O'Leary, Vyner and Morrell maybe on the bench at least. Mix them in for some minutes maybe. Garita too if fit. Maybe McCoulskey as well.

samo II Posted April 24, 2016 Report Share Posted April 24, 2016 Korey being absent would open up a midfield slot, and while usually I'd suggest Wagstaff could step in, allowing perhaps Burns to shift back into Smith's place, personally I think it might be good motivation/encouragement to try out a young player or two. Plus, I like Scott a lot, but if he's not here next year it would seem a waste to be starting him. We're not playing teams up the top or fighting against relegation, so these would literally be the safest competitive games to 'blood' younger players, and I'd like it if that was something we were willing to try. Any idea if we've any central midfielders in our youth set up who might be able to take a chance like this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lanterne Rouge Posted April 24, 2016 Report Share Posted April 24, 2016 I definitely want JK to play the last two just to get to 20 goals for the season. What an achievement that would be for him - first season in a new country and playing in a struggling side for most of it - it would be wonderful for him if he got there. I think we might see Alex Pearce in for Flinty if we are looking to sign him next season (not ITK, just a feeling), perhaps Agard for Wilbs just to put him in the shop window. Midfield is tricky - Bobby Reid definitely and Joe to CM if Scott Golbourne`s fit with Tomlin wider. Unless of course we play the kids but I think we needed to be safe a couple of games ago to do that meaningfully - I`d like to see it though. Perhaps someone who watches the u21s could give a better opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bs20ciderarmy Posted April 24, 2016 Author Report Share Posted April 24, 2016 Johnson has given the team until Thursday off so I would hazard a geuss he will be training the under 21's ... Would think there's a good chance we will see a youthful team Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bs4Red Posted April 24, 2016 Report Share Posted April 24, 2016 Having watched a lot of the 21s. In my opinion, Garita is a lost cause and has looked out of his depth in a few of the games I've watched. I'd much rather see Mcclousky play. Vyner has been exceptional for the 21s and for me deserves to start at centre half if he's going to get a chance due to that being his position. Midfielder wise, I'd say that Joe Morrell has been surpassed by George Dowling who has had a great season and at 17 looks streaks ahead of Morrell who's career progress has slowed massively from all the hype a couple of years ago Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Davefevs Posted April 24, 2016 Report Share Posted April 24, 2016 Team for me v Huddersfield on Saturday: [4-1-4-1] O'Donnell: Ayling, Pearce, Baker, Golbourne: Pack: Odemwingie, Reid, Bryan, Tomlin: Kodjia: Bench: O'Leary, Little, Vyner, Wagstaff, Dowling, Freemam, Wlbraham: This assumes, Flint is injured, no appeal re Smith's red card. Johnson has so much as said Matthews season is over. Would like to see Pearce on the right side of the centre backs (how did he play yesterday?). Would like to see Dowling and Vyner on bench. Happy for Wilbs to be rested for McCoulsky if need be, or even a Freeman left out. We've still got points to play for and don't want the season to end flatly after the hard work. Starting eleven needs to be our strongest, imho. [could easily be 4231 with Bryan joining Pack] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
formerly known as ivan Posted April 24, 2016 Report Share Posted April 24, 2016 I assume Flint went off injured yesterday? If so would like to see Vyner given a shot at building some confidence in his natural centre back position Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree with Zac Vyner as well, he deserves another chance now we are safe. I mentioned George Dowling at the start of the season after watching the pre season friendlies in which I thought he was outstanding. I was told by the people that watch the academy regularly on here that in their opinion Je Morrell was still the better prospect. All about opinions I suppose but on what I have seen I think Dowling is the better prospect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chairman Mao Posted April 24, 2016 Report Share Posted April 24, 2016 O'Leary, Matthews, Pearce (Vyner last game), Baker, Goldborne, Bryan, Pack, Ried, Tomlin, Kodjia, Peter O Wilbs, Waggy, Vyner, Morrell, McCloskey, Downing and O'Donnell. Get the youth on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TammyAB Posted April 24, 2016 Report Share Posted April 24, 2016 We shouldn't be playing the youth if they aren't good enough.

Also Max O Leary never looked out of place when he played against WBA in the cup so there are 2 who in my opinion would cope. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So giving one or two of them a taste of first team selection now will hopefully make that transition easier next year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A lot of paper talk about other teams looking at him but he has never AFAIK said anything to indicate he wants to leave and if he had, I think this place would have gone into meltdown.
