In his time on the pitch, we barely made a chance and he hardly had a ball played into him!
He played against Blackburn and chased a lot not really looking threatening
Totally agreeIn his time on the pitch, we barely made a chance and he hardly had a ball played into him!
You've had players in the England squad at 17 and we're worried about him being "Cannon Fodder" in a League Two Coventry team derived of goals ? Please.
Give the lad a chance, he's 18, he's scoring, let's give him a go
Indeed. Otherwise, what'scthe point of these development squads?No instead wait until another club coming sniffing after he has a decent season in the U23s and we lose him without ever seeing how good he could have been....again.
After watching Biamou against Blackburn I wouldn't put him ahead of my granny!I'd prefer to see Nazon up front tonight, alongside McNulty. As with the Blackburn game, it'd be good to see Ponti come off the bench but a fit Kwame is ahead of him in the queue, as are Beavon and Biamou.
I was at that game and whilst I agree with the sentiment, you really can't judge a player from one gameAfter watching Biamou against Blackburn I wouldn't put him ahead of my granny!
I totally agree, but others put a shift in, and he didn't. So on that one performance, I find it hard to justify playing him ahead of anyone else.I was at that game and whilst I agree with the sentiment, you really can't judge a player from one game
Play him. Just play him.
Oh they can on here.I was at that game and whilst I agree with the sentiment, you really can't judge a player from one game

She'll be one of many members of said babeUnless your granny is playing maracas for The Fall I am not interested in her.
That was not a criticism of him, it could have been Ronaldo playing upfront for us and he too wouldn't have looked threatening, no service as such just long hops to chaseIn his time on the pitch, we barely made a chance and he hardly had a ball played into him!
You don't win anything with kidsSo teenager Ben Woodburn (aged 17) scores a brilliant goal for Wales in a World Cup qualifier, and yet our Jordan Ponticelli (aged 18, 19 in one more week) is judged too young to play in a league 2 game.

I've bookmarked this thread ready for January when we've sold him for next to nothing and never experienced him playing. Ponticelli is actually a year older (next week) than Adam Armstrong was when he was banging in goals for us and he was seen as a Messiah around here so I'm not buying this "too much stress for a young player" bollocks, you've either got it or you haven't. I just don't get it, surely he should at the very least be on the bench, grabbing 15 minutes here and there building his confidence
Wales did, they won a World Cup qualifier 1-0.You don't win anything with kids
You get the joke right?Wales did, they won a World Cup qualifier 1-0.
I agree with you, I'd start him in place of Beavon Saturday. Remember when Alan Hansen said "you don't win anything with kids" about Manchester United and they famously went on to win something with kids. Namely the Premier league. I was referencing that. I firmly believe that if you are good enough, you are old enough.Wales did, they won a World Cup qualifier 1-0.
Instead of McNutly surely?I agree with you, I'd start him in place of Beavon Saturday.

McNulty at least gets some shots away. In truth I'd give Nazon-Andreu-Jones the job of playing behind JPInstead of McNutly surely?
Oh dear. Please don't compare the likes of Burge,Haynes,Willis,Stevenson,Ponticelli alongside Neville,Sharp,Giggs,Beckham etc.I agree with you, I'd start him in place of Beavon Saturday.

And it's getting the balance right. Lots calling for Ponticelli to be throw in but how many times have we seen similar thrown under the bus?I don't think he was comparing the players ability wise. I think his general point is that if young players are performing in their age groups and the senior players aren't performing they should be given a chance to be part of the first team squad
