We should never have participated in such a sham, just like Cardiff, Swansea & Newport shouldn't participate in the the Football League. That's why I decided not to include that "cup". Then again I didn't include the Gloucester Cup either Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The_Don Posted January 10, 2017 Report Share Posted January 10, 2017 Anyway, back back on topic before the police arrive. I see Ben Hamer is in goal for the Leicester U23's. Well Diego, lets hope the brace spurs him on and comes back with valuable first team experience and plenty more goals under his belt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phileas Fogg Posted January 10, 2017 Report Share Posted January 10, 2017 Good to hear. He was really highly rated at Sheffield United as a youth player but it clearly went a bit stale there and he needed a fresh start. Think he's a very talented player and if he keeps this up he'll find himself in our squad before long. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lanterne Rouge Posted January 10, 2017 Report Share Posted January 10, 2017 Might be worth watching PW tomorrow night, might be highlights if they haven`t got twenty minutes about some old biddy from Melksham who`s just finished a 10,000 piece jigsaw or something equally as newsworthy to cover.

miketh2nd Posted January 10, 2017 Report Share Posted January 10, 2017 It is only against Leciester u23s but sounds as though he could of had more. Hopefully he will get a good run of games In the league. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think what it shows is that he has lots of ability. Leicester's u23 side aren't bad and he did pretty well for us too at that level. You can only stand out that much if you're a good player as that's the main divider at that age. What he'll have to add to his game to do this at senior level is cleverness against wiley old pros and physicality as it's a step up on youth football in that respect. He's been playing with Italy as recently as 2014 which he wouldn't have been unless he was very talented. If we can keep him progressing we might well have a bit of a potential gem here.

Don't say that PF I had a real punt only based on 2 viewings that he won't get to first team for significant appearances !! (Was only an fun / initial 'hunch' and I hope I'm completely wrong - certainly can't do him any harm to have notched a hat trick ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Was only an fun / initial 'hunch' and I hope I'm completely wrong - certainly can't do him any harm to have notched a hat trick ) I get the impression it was a problem with his motivation/attitude at Sheffield United but that may not be correct. Maybe he needed a fresh start with some new coaches to coax out his ability. I'm a big believer in giving players, especially young ones, a fair crack before making a judgement especially if they're obviously trying hard and don't assume they've 'made it'. Sometimes they have ability but they need to add size and strength - Joe Morrell and Bobby Reid for example. Seems Diego is doing alright after 6 months or so. Would love for us to be safe by mid April () and be able to give the likes of McCoulsky and Diego some game time if his loan ends before then.

Sure I read something on these lines PF so think you are correct on this I'm a big believer in giving players, especially young ones, a fair crack before making a judgement especially if they're obviously trying hard and don't assume they've 'made it'. Sometimes they have ability but they need to add size and strength - Joe Morrell and Bobby Reid for example. Totally agree mate , Iike to have a bit of fun seeing if I can assess a player quickly - a silly thing to do in the real world - just a bit of fun , and like to be proved wrong as much as proved right !!!

Admin phantom Posted January 10, 2017 Admin Report Share Posted January 10, 2017 So has anyone ACTUALLY seen him play a competitive game? Just looks like a few are getting way ahead of themselves above. He got roasted in reports from a previous Cheltenham game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
