Not criticising Sterling, just saying Mason had a better game.
Not criticising Sterling, just saying Mason had a better game.Bloody hell, Sterling is 19 and was playing his first ever league match.
i take it back. He was brilliant, absolutely outstanding and never put a foot wrong all game long.
Otis! Otis! Where are you?I wouldn’t class his performance as the worst, as he did do something’s well and grew into the game. But, as I posted in the Match thread he was the only one standing out for the wrong reasons for me.
Based on pre season, it was the right call to play him ahead of Brown.

Was saying the same thing yesterday. Could well be Chelsea expect him to feature as much as possible.I wouldn't be surprised if a part of the loan deal for Sterling means he has to play a certain percentage of games over the course of the season or he goes back. Might explain why he's ahead of Grimmer.
That or on paper he's just a lot better than him.
Good analysis of the other posts on this thread 7/10Mason did the right thing, ball came out of the sun, he was last man with all charging out towards him, could have lumped it forward but half our team were in off-side positions, he showed good maturity for a rookie. Looks a good player.
Agreed, but the point is why pick two vastly inexperienced full backs to make their debuts at the same time? What has Grimmer done wrong? And although Mason did ok, was he any better than Stokes at defending. Personally I don’t really like small fullbacks, they tend to get beaten in the air far too easily.
Mason just seems like a clone of DKE ( although it’s too early to judge him yet)
I was guilty yesterday of shouting SHOOT at one time, but in jest rather than anything serious, soz m8,I'm surprised some of our fans didn't shout "SHOOT IT" as I heard several times around me yesterday, it didn't matter if the player in question was 35 yards out with 6 defenders between him and the goal. I wish they would let them go back and sit in block 14.
Agreed, but I didn't like him trying to take players on, dribbling in his own half, as he lost the ball/got tackled 2 or 3 times.Reminded me of David Bennett, show the ball then take it away in his stride rather than blistering pace. Nothing wrong with quick feet rather than fast legs.
Mason is 5'8" so a good foot taller than DKE or DKE.I thought that Mason had a good debut. He reminds me of DiKE. Because he's not very big, I'm sure that Scunny were targetting him but he handled that pressure well. He'll be an asset to the team this season.
Wasn't you Vow as they definitely shouted "Shoot it" although i sit in 17 aswell.I was guilty yesterday of shouting SHOOT at one time, but in jest rather than anything serious, soz m8,
love from Block 17 xx
Just reminded me of the time things seemed to just open up for Andreu in the first half. Shoot man!!!Wasn't you Vow as they definitely shouted "Shoot it" although i sit in 17 aswell.
He could well be 2 feet taller than DiKE but he seemed to be just as tenacious, and won't allow himself to be bullied, just like DiKE.Mason is 5'8" so a good foot taller than DKE or DKE.

Loans don’t work like this. However, there are loans that get cheaper the more their player gets game time, which is an incentive for the club to play that player.
Our assistant manager knows Dujon Sterling from his academy days, is well regarded at Chelsea — even making first team appearances! Given how good we all think Bayliss is, Sterling is starting in that England U19s team whereas Bayliss was the bench. Grimmer was a key part in our successful L2 campaign, but, he does also make a lot of mistakes too. We needed an upgrade at that position to compete at the upper end of L1 — Sterling is that option in the eyes of Vivesh and Robins.
There’s no dodgy loan agreement with Chelsea. Why on earth would MR tie himself to a deal like that?! It’s obviously a case of moving the squad forward to compete in L1.
Loved the way he recovered and nipped in front of attackers if he lost the first ball. Yes I think once he settles his distribution will improve and hopefully robins will give him and sterling more opportunity to forage forwards. I think it was a positive debut and he showed that he has the potential to get better. Those that boo or have a go on the basis of one performance just amaze me.

That was only for that one incident though wasn't it?Thought he had a really good debut, couldn't believe it when I saw people criticising him.
