Not sure why he isn't getting a chance on the bench yet.


Check his free kick out!

I have said for ages to give him a chance.

I said I bet he would dig in a little bit, which is what we need.

Is that Addai in goal? Had a shocker!

I haven't said he is a big bully boy.

He can also take free kicks and penalties.

Go back to watching La Liga or Serie A on Sky Sports.

He would be half decent at least from the bench.

Is it me, or is someone being called-out for suggesting a player doing well in the U23 squad be given a first team shot?

I think I may have woken up in a parallel universe this morning. It's been a surreal day.

No, it's just another day in the life of covcity4life talking shite!

Can't see the issue with him having a spot on the bench.

Yes, last season Tudgay did come on and make a difference in games so I said in games could bring him on. I recall in one of them he scored the winner.

This season he hasn't made too much difference.

It isn't the ONLY way to win in League 1, it is just nice to have it there as an option if players are willing to dig in and give the kicks as well as take them so we don't get bullied against the likes of Wimbledon.

McBean seems to be scoring for fun in the U23's with free kicks, headers and different sorts of goals. I'd give him a chance rather than somebody like Wright on the bench.

Lameiras has been the only player to get stuck in in some games. It is a fact.

I haven't said he is the hardest player in League 1 and would knock everybody out one by one. I said he gets stuck in and as least has a bit of grit, if he gets kicked he will kick them back.

If the opposition fans are abusing him like Millwall did and Oxford did, he is doing something right

Devon Kelly-Evans has scored 6 in his last 3-4 games. He should be knocking on the squad too.

With us being top heavy in attack, last few benches being mainly forwards/wingers will MV be trying to keep everyone happy and therefore McBean will be stuck in the U23s. I always feel if someone is on form then give them a crack, surely he's here to prove himself and an opportunity in the first team would be ideal

Some bloody good goals there from us. Our youth teams always seem to do well, don't they?

Good to see our keeper consistency though is trickling down to the nippers teams....

It is good to see some talent coming through. No doubt he will get on the bench sometime soon once suspensions and the odd injury kick in.

Probably more likely he just isn't good enough.

I don't understand this idea that Lameiras gets stuck in, I've always thought of him as a bottler in the tackle and afraid to put his head where it could get hurt.

He plays the dark arts of the game. He winds opposition players up, he dives and feigns injuries to try and get opposition players booked and sent off, he surrounds the face of ref and tries to pressure them into decisions and he will get in the faces of the opposition players if he doesn't like something. That isn't really getting stuck in imo.

He does the above but as for being strong and committed in tackles and winning 50-50 balls, he's never stood out.

I thought maybe being a US citizen and not an international he can't get a work permit. Then I checked Wiki and his Dad is Scottish and he is eligible to play for Scotland.
The FA Chairman Greg Dyke explained[1] that the current system needed to be tightened so as to only allow non-EEA players who are:
  • “internationally established at the highest level”; and
  • “whose employment will make a significant contribution to the development of their sport at the highest level”.

Addai was the goalkeeper in our fa youth cup last season did ok even scored a penalty, i think let him develop and learn from his mistakes! Mcbean dev kelly evans get into good positions, kyle spence and maycock are very rapid and sharp.

You only have to watch a series of old clips to see how rose tinted our view of Oggy was/is. He made mistake after mistake.
