Just shown the goals on SSN. Hinds goal was excellent. Picked up the ball in his own half, drifted past a couple of defenders and wellied a terrific low dipping shot from around 30yds.Hope his parents were there to watch him....

How long before Freddie gets a start?

Shame we've just brought Woodrow in when Hinds looks so lively 

They serve different purposes so either one would be likely to be a direct replacement for each other. Hinds has really impressed in the EFL Cup but we need to remember he's young and edge him into the first team slowly. I really do hope he makes something of himself and if he keeps proving that he can, I'm sure he'll force his way in on a more regular basis. Cauley's signing may be confusing to some but let's not jump on him before he's even played a minute in a City shirt

Just watched the goals on youtube, that goal of Freddies was special. In the words of the late great Freddie Mercury

Probably his upper arm

....with a transfer out of a Bazooka Joe bubble gum wrapper.... it'll be real tattoos in a few years time I expect.

Looked to me that the players were livid that the ref pulled play back.

Have only seen it on YouTube, but thought the ref should have played advantage, then come back for the sending off after the move had played out.

Im sure the rules were changed not so long ago so this could happen?

Oh were they? I'd say that's a real shame, made a lot of sense to me. Last night the thing that stopped us breaking wasn't Eliasson being brought down, but the ref stopping play.

It's nice to see a player shooting from outside the box and taking a chance and scores. We don't see that often enough, as players take that extra touch or pass. As though they don't want to take the responsibility. 

More please.

Yes there have been a few topics on here with him in mentioning but none solely for him. 

 

Now we we watched last season as an 18 year old practically kept us up with his goals, seems we now have another 18 year old who is fond on finding the net. 2 goals now I'm 2 starts. This can't be ignored by the management. Should we be starting him on Friday night live infeont of the sky cameras? I honestly think we should. He deserves his chance now at a league start, Diedhiou yes he's still adjusting to a new league, country what ever, isn't setting the world a light, and as a striker you deserve your place in the team if you're scoring goals, which he isn't and Hinds is when he's starting. We can't use the excuse of him being to young as Tammy showed us that's not the case, and so is Hinds at the moment. 

 

Give him him a start Lee! We might just have our own Tammy Abraham on OUR books.

Much better than Maynard. He is quick strong and direct. We have our very own Jermain Defoe in the making:clapping:

I wouldn't start him personally. Although it's great to see him do so well so early on at City! He doesn't score scruffy goals either does he?

I think Reid and Hinds are too similar to be starting along each other. I'd leave it with Reid and Famara but would change the midfield, especially wide areas. 

Depending how the game goes, I think he'll get 20 minutes or so.

Posted

Lets not forget we have just loaned Woodrow until the end of the season and Taylor is coming back to fitness. I would like to see Hinds get some regular game time out on loan at league1/2 level.

Posted

Agree with the sentiment above in that Villa present a slightly different challenge and Diedhiou's physicality may help carve out space for Bobby (who I think we all agree needs to start).

What is great is to have an option like Hinds to bring on; he's shown quality and application, and could have a breakout year.

Puts pressure on Woodrow and Taylor too; they'll hopefully push on and look to impress, knowing Hinds is grabbing his chance.

Still expect him to head out on loan now Taylor is fit, and think that would do him a lot of good.

Posted

Definetely shouldn't start against villa, need someone like Fammy to boss the defence as Hinds and Reid are too small. Reid won't be dropped due to his stellar form currently either.

 

If we give him a few more league minutes each week, maybe subbing him on for Reid or Fammy would like to see him start ideally against Bolton but keep playing as first choice striker in the cup 

Posted

I would go with Diedhiou and Reid still. I think Villa will be more aggressive than Watford, but not as much as Millwall. I think he needs to be in the matchday squad though and would have no hesitation bringing him on, just think Diedhiou needs to put himself about and give the two centre backs a tough game and then utilise Hinds pace.

In two games he's done what Tammy never did, made his own goals and Hinds is touted as a more of a poacher type striker. Really exciting future.

Posted

The difference between Tammy and Hinds is that Tammy is 6'3" and built like a man. Hinds still looks like a kid. There's no need to rush him for me, with Taylor fit again and Woodrow here, we should try and get Hinds a L1/L2 loan and regular football until Christmas. If he scores well then bring him back and give him games. Don't see the need to rush him really, I'd rather have a top player in 12 months time than a decent youngster now

Posted

Don't think he should be loaned out. Let him know how well regarded he is, give him the confidence n belief that he knocking on the door of the first team . Could well progress more if kept in the fold n not farmed out like so many others.

Posted

I would contemplate him and Bobby against Villa on the basis anyone with even a bit of pace and movement will likely give John Terry some brown shorts for the evening.

Why? If he is good enough he is old enough.  We are not talking about a goalie, defender or midfielder but a striker.  Stick with him, Lee

Interesting debate.....Hinds might be too lightweight up against Villa's burly defenders but......Hinds would be a complete unknown to them with no idea what his game is. In fact at his age he probably won't know his own game yet......

On RB it was explained that the ref had to send the player off immediately because had City's attack broken down and then Watford counter-attacked it could have occurred where the shouldn't be on the pitch player set up or scored a goal.

Though to be fair, it probably wouldnt take them long to figure hes young and small so probably is quite quick?!

It's his movement and trickery that could be a problem. Add to that Reid who is another relatively unknown and City have two very promising young goalscorers in the squad.

Add to that the beef of Diedhiou and the striker options are pretty good.

Agree re promissing goalscorers, bobby reids improvement is stunning

I saw so much energy with Hinds and Reid and O dowda that they were playing midfield and striker at the same time. In bobby reid particularly we have a tackling striker Ideal for the pressing game. If we stop thinking about these players being one or the other it brings a whole new realm of possibilities .For the time being for me its hinds and reid to start wit daddio on the bench. either way .. im really looking forward to friday now!

Thanks, that's helpful. I guess I would still think that as soon as we lose the ball, it's advantage over and the ref stops the game. But my knowledge of this rule is poor! 

I may even - and I know this would be controversial - look it up in the laws.

I can't remember if it's in the Laws of the Game, but when I did my refereeing course, it was explained that the referee has to stop play straight away if he's going to send a player off, regardless of whether there is an advantage to be played or not, so in regards to what happened last night, the ref had no other option but to stop the 4v1 to send their player off.

Can see him coming on second half if all not going to plan. Both of his goals have been gems, and in a team/squad of players who can't shoot for toffee. To be able to finish in that style for someone so young isn't a fluke. This kid clearly has talent. Can't see him being loaned out and nor would I want him to be. 

He strikes me as a very different striker to Tammy. Tammy was a poacher. Almost all of his goals came within the six-yard box. Both Hinds's goals have been bullets from way outside the penalty area. Very impressive.

Definitely the case.  If you watch the Sky video, City break after the foul, the ref clearly blows and the three City players throw up their hands in protest.

This is where, perhaps, the law should be changed so that as soon, as like you say, the advantage is over the ref can then stop the game on the pretext that the team now in possession of the ball have an extra player effectively on the pitch so the ref needs to stop play to send him off. The game could then restart with a drop ball, or if a goal was scored by the team playing with the advantage, a kick off etc.

As it currently stands though, the ref did the right thing, according to the rules, in stopping play to send the player off.

I think Terry would much prefer playing against Diedhiou than hinds. Can't see him being much of a problem for Terry, he's been playing against better and stronger players than deidhiou his entire career, he's old and slow now, he'd much rather have a physical battle than playing chase to an 18 year old. Villa are struggling against teams with pace at the moment. We have pace and need to use it. 

 

There's no way we should be loaning him out to league 2, maybe league 1 if there is a great chance he'll play weekly, but he's taking his chances here when given them. Don't see the point in rewarding him with a move to another club where he might not even get a chance. If he won't start then he has to be on the bench. We never know how to handle the majority of our youngsters, most get shipped out to non league where they don't stand out and eventually get released. We currently have a young striker performing for us, keep him here and let us develop him at our level!

He'd be in my squad now and I'd be giving him game time whenever I could , ideally in  games we are winning , under less pressure

If he continues to shine he will force himself into a starting place

Championship is a tough place with some experienced physical centre halves

Need to remember his age and the jump,he's making - can't expect him to be consistent or deliver every time

Good post. Not sure about starting but what he has done is create competition for places and he has put his name in the hat. He has taken the chances that have been given to him. Credit to LJ as he put him in the First Team squad at the beginning of the season.  There can be often doom and gloom around the club but it is really nice being positive about our young players and finally a club strategy looks like bearing fruit. Hinds has definitely stepped up and this is precisely the pressure we want being put on our first 11.....

To be fair Watford and some big defenders, it seemed the only way they could get to them is to bring them down..

I wouldn't mind seeing him on the bench. Coming on when Dieudhieu tires, as he always seems to do. 

The lad certainly knows where the net is and his 2 in 2 deserves some recognition.

He came here to get a chance to break through at this level If we loan him to a L2 club and he might as well have stayed at Luton. 

As someone once said "if he's good enough, he's old enough."

Fair enough about last night then, but feels refs should be able to use their own judgement if the team benefits from an advantage. 4 on 1 is a clear goal scoring advantage and think City would often prefer to have that position than the player sent off, especially the situation the game was in.

They can actually the official law is:

Quote

Referees should consider the following circumstances in deciding when to play advantage or stop play: 

- the severity of the offense. If the infringement warrants an expulsion, the referee shall stop play and send the player off unless there is a subsequent opportunity to score a goal.

 

So he could have deemed it a goal scoring opportunity and then brought play back but considering the offense took place in our half that would have been a tough call. So overall it was probably the correct decision.

Exactly what a friend of mine who referees at a good non league level told me today. Makes sense.

Just catching up on this thread, and was thinking the same.

I'm a bit of a traditionalist and still like the big-man / small-man pairing, but I've seen two little-uns work, and two big-uns too.  All about understandings, intuition, unselfishness etc.  There will be a lot of defences in this division based on a couple of lumps, who wouldn't want to have to run around after two quick, high energy strikers.

If LJ thinks FH is the real deal (albeit raw and inexperienced) I'd be letting Matty Taylor go, and rather than gaining experience on loan in L1/L2, I'd be letting him learn playing with better players and getting / retaining good habits.  I've only seen the Plymouth game so don't know if we are getting a bit over-excited.  Sometimes I think you're better off letting them learn by being around better players, and also does Freddie need to get kicked up and down in L1/L2.

If he is good enough I'd happily go with Diedhiou, Reid, Woodrow and Hinds as my match day 4.  Milan back around Xmas, then allows LJ to reflect on what's best for the squad of strikers.

Yep, can only put in good displays and put thoughts in the manager's head.  Bobby has done that, and it's almost inconceivable for him not to play.

If giving a second yellow, there is no option to play on and then come back to send him off. Either you blow up immediately and send him off, or you play on and no second booking.

No. The ref stopped the game not the players. Smith was pretty upset. It was a high likelihood of a goal and a poor decision...

I have read some of the stuff on this thread and make a couple of comments. Adam Baker's comment was based upon a comment by another official at another match and what the referee said afterward

The player committed a cautionable offence, not a straight red. We see referees issuing cards retrospectively all the time and in this instance a decision needed to be made, but as the offence was to deliberately stop a goal scoring opportunity the defender achieved his aim aided and abetted by the referee. The argument that 4 v 1 running toward goal that we may have lost the ball and the player who committed the offence may have had some hand in scoring a goal in the other end (before the referee could stop the game) when he should not of been on the field is spurious.

Refereeing is about making judgement calls every second of every match. In this case he should have made a different judgement.

Anyone who asks the answer is yes!
