Popular Post Davefevs Posted January 18, 2023 Popular Post Report Share Posted January 18, 2023 Made his debut tonight. This is a lad who was on loan at Yate earlier this season!! This wasn’t a meaningless cup-tie. This wasn’t a few minutes at the end of the match with the result confirmed. This was a debut with 20 minutes left of a match yet to be settled, coming on in the centre of midfield (with King) against the likes of Joe Allen and Jay Fulton. Fair play to the lad (and Nige too). 43 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BS3City Posted January 18, 2023 Report Share Posted January 18, 2023 Thought he looked right up for it, solid looking and a couple of good strong challenges. Hopefully another home grown "club in the bag"... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mozo Posted January 18, 2023 Report Share Posted January 18, 2023 It's great to have an Omar in the team to join Bell. Would be amazing if we could sign players called McNulty, Barksdale and Bunk too P.S great to see another youngster break through! 5 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Must admit I looked at our bench & thought if it went to extra time we would be in trouble, what do I know? Said on Saturday Nige has some bollocks, replacing Wells & Scott on the hour & giving this lad his debut at 1-1, brave stuff. 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silvio Dante Posted January 18, 2023 Report Share Posted January 18, 2023 On a more serious note, I saw OTC at Yate a couple of times earlier this season under Beadle. The game was largely played five feet above his head due to Beadles tactics, but when he did get on the ball he was generally Yates best player - winning the ball, looking for passes etc. Its some way below our level but the fundamental behaviours were good. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He can do a bit of everything as you say and takes a lot of the set plays for u21s, can do the dirty side of the game and loves a tackle. Has improved massively from last year to this and congratulations to him on his debut. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didn't we recall him pretty quickly when the original loan had been agreed until January? Presumably because there was no point in the kid being there under a Manager playing that style of football? I also noticed Prince Henry has found himself at Weston again having been at Yate earlier in the season......tbf they do play it around a bit even if the Manager is a bit of a bell.

We did - and although never confirmed my gut would be that the atmosphere at Yate was toxic at the time and the football was Neanderthal so he’d have learnt nothing and potentially had development stunted. One of the underrated things Tinnion and team do is decide when a loan is wrong, and do it quickly. Seb Palmer-Holden another example. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I saw him in the U23s towards the back end of last season and he was very similar there, sat at the base of midfield, mopped up and looked to get on the ball and start attacks. Very tidy player. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was pretty much going to say the exact same thing. Shocking tactics under Beadle. So glad he's gone. Much better now. I think it's gone under the radar but Yate have recently signed on loan Brandon Oputeri from City under 21s Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davefevs Posted January 18, 2023 Author Report Share Posted January 18, 2023 Sounds like he came in last night and played more in the hole, with King and Williams (dropping back after replacing Scott) playing deeper. Will try to clip some if his actions once Wyscout updates last night’s games. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He'll break the rules to win but will try to keep it in the blindside of the ref. And eventually, he'll decide the team can win without dark arts. Spoiler: he may then get dropped. Omar will be lethal and prolific but not a team player. By the way, the Stadio podcast on Spotify once did an episode on which players would be which Wire characters. P.S.

I don't know the case here but it seems to be the modern way to keep both surnames on marriage, usually, as per the Spanish way with the male surname first. Perhaps there'll come a day when an entire team will be made up of double barrelled name players. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's moved back from the first couple of times I saw him, he used to play AM or in behind the striker, sounds like he has the attributes to be a more defensive player though. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bazooka Joe Posted January 18, 2023 Report Share Posted January 18, 2023 It's great to see even more youngsters, like Omar and Sam, coming through the ranks and earning a place in the first team (though they still have much to prove). Much more enjoyable than watching some of the ageing journeymen we've had (and have). The team that took us up to the old First Division was brimming with home-grown talent, If we can stay safe, things are lookiing promising for next season's potential promotion push. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
