Marina's Rolls Royce Posted January 14, 2023 Report Share Posted January 14, 2023 It's his birthday in a week- 22nd Jan and will be turn 25- in his prime yet has time on his side to get better. He's played for Merthyr , Hereford, Walsall, Cheltenham, Portsmouth, Guernsey , Newport and, of course, BCFC. He must have wondered where the hell his career was going but he fought his way back into contention through utter self conviction and hard work. A west country lad. Take a bow, Cameron Pring - I'll bet you'll sleep happy tonight. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IIRC I think he said when he came back from his last loan and had a chat with NP it was the first time he`d really felt wanted at the club.

Very possibly but I think having been largely left out of the picture- the rise of Cameron Pring is down to the determination and ability of Cameron Pring. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did the same against ? at home recently when an opposition player put it back over his head from distance into the net. Today he stuck a hand out and pushed the ball away. Apart from that he was decent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The worst thing you can do is come and then stop - the reason Bentley got dropped in the first place after his horror show at Birmingham.

Much like Joe Bryan, who was often better going forward than defending, if we play 4-4-2, I would have Cam Pring as a left midfielder, with Dasilva behind him at left back, just as Bryan had Magnússon behind him during our best run under Johnson in 2017-18. Whether Nige would ever go 4-4-2 is another matter though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In fact where on the pitch is he worthy of a place in the team? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Organised well. He's a good keeper. He’s bang average same as Bentley , neither the answer need a new keeper for sure , max got away with one wrongly coming off his line but committed so made the save second one he came then back-pedalled both poor decisions … 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pring is a far better option as a wing back compared to Dasilva because he offers so much more going forward. From a defensive perspective, I think that there is a lot less to choose between them. So the suggestion was if Nige wanted to change formation, and needed a left side midfielder, Cam is possibly the best option that we have.

AppyDAZE Posted January 15, 2023 Report Share Posted January 15, 2023 (edited) The best physical option we have in that position, and also he gambles (hence the penalty, which can happen) but i love that. This guy has really stepped up and grapped the shirt. Hard to argue against the MOTM award. Fair play, Cam looked like a man on a mission. Shout outs to Zak and Matty James for more quiet but at the same time excellent performances. Oh and then we have Alex Scott and Antoine...SHHHHH to any scouts there today, unless you're talking silly money.

Red-Robbo Posted January 15, 2023 Report Share Posted January 15, 2023 Pring's assist for the third goal was a joy to watch. Played in by a very good Alex Scott pass he totally evaded two lead-footed Brum defenders to put over a cross that the tea lady could've put in. He's growing into quite some player- and seems to be flying under the talent-spotter's radar. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spike Posted January 15, 2023 Report Share Posted January 15, 2023 I can't stop singing his praise but it's also making me a little concerned as the lad is currently playing a Top 6 Championship team quality, if he continues I'd even say he'd be a good buy for a lower Premier League team. With Scott and Semenyo being talked about a lot if Semenyo wasn't to find a team now I wonder if the club would start considering bids on Pring. Scott will get attention the more he plays, that's a certainty but if no-one is willing to meet the clubs expectations in the fee and Semenyo ends up running down his contract I can't see anyone else that we could sell for a fee. This is one of the most frustrating parts of seeing the Academy do well. We finally develop some more quality talent since selling our last group and financially we need to sell again to keep a float. I think at this point I'm resigned to the fact we'll lose Scott and Semenyo and that we'll be letting a lot of players go too but seeing a club see Prings ability and progress and making an offer too big to say not to would be a proper kick in the nuts right now.

Has a tendency to get square on when tackling as we saw today, something which is easily sorted. Despite that MoM IMHO, with a nod to Matty James, who also had a v good game. That penalty he gave away was because actually he’s a robot, and was trying to make himself look human, in case anyone has sussed he’s not one. "I'm a cybernetic organism.

Pring, Tanner, Vyner, O’Leary, Semenyo, Conway, Wells, Weimann (last season), Atkinson. Okay, some of their development will be “natural” due to age and gaining experience, their own desire, but surely Nige and the coaches deserve some credit too. I didn’t include Scott, he’s a bit different! 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kolsch Posted January 15, 2023 Report Share Posted January 15, 2023 Excellent again. Defensively sound (couldn’t do too much with the penalty really, nice footwork from Chong) and attacked with real intent. Made that position his own now.

I recall last season a certain poster who is no longer on here (no, not that one) kept going on about Pring’s lack of fitness. No consideration that it was his breakthrough season and the gruelling demands of Championship football from that poster. Another for Rennie and the team. Every game he’s started this season he’s completed the full 90. Seen a few comments elsewhere e.g. Twitter, saying Cam is a great attacking full-back but not so good defensively. Yeah, he gave away a pen yesterday, but his one-v-one defending is fantastic. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vidal Posted January 15, 2023 Report Share Posted January 15, 2023 People are getting ahead of themselves. An excellent month for him so far, I think we underestimate just how easy Birmingham made it for him when he pushed forward. Needs to add consistency to elements of his game, especially his decision making and passing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James54De Posted January 15, 2023 Report Share Posted January 15, 2023 If, as expected now (I guess), Dasilva leaves for free in the summer does Pring start next season as our first choice LB? Or do we recruit another? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's a good footballer, but not yet the finished article. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
