U23 v Barnsley (1 Viewer)

[CanadianCCFC]

So no Bapaga, Biamou or Ngandu tomorrow. Possibly Jack Burroughs and Morgan Williams to get in the team?

Don't celebrate too quickly, will be ruled out for offside in a minute

That’s only when you score against Bolton.

Williams injured I think (not 100% sure).

Max seems to have been in decent goal scoring form in pre-season. Obviously had one chalked off on Saturday, and scored today. Looks a better option than Baka at the moment.

He doesn't. He was miles off the pace Saturday. Bakayoko scored as well

Robins may be fielding a strong side in the hope of progressing and getting a Premier League team in the 2nd round
He said recently we could do with a cup run

I thought he looked ok when he was moved up front in the last few minutes, like a fish out of water on the wing. Good point on Bakayoko tough. I've seen Baka play really well, and he looks a threat. Thought he was really poor on Saturday (wrongly disallowed goal aside).

Villa at St Andrews and a riot please

 

[mrtrench]

Nope... he's in the crowd with Shipley.

Why would being in the crowd on Monday invalidate him for a home game on Tuesday? By that logic, Shipley isn't playing either.

Both Biamou and Bakayoko are below the level required

very boring - has he slept with your Missus ?

 

[SBAndy]

He's very young though. I hope we don't put too much pressure on him too early

Come on, when would we ever do that?

I'm guessing if they were in the squad for tomorrow they would be training for the game at Ryton

In the morning probably yes.

Alternatively they trained in the morning and then went to support their team mates...

Yes this is wha it will be Jodi Jones was there at half time also

 

[chiefdave]

Nice to see the players that have moved up still going along to support their mates.

 

[SkyBlueDom26]

CONTRACT: Morgan Williams extends contract with Coventry City!

 

[Sky Blue Harry H]

The more minutes we get into Max's legs, the sooner he will be a viable threat. Most weren't expecting him anywhere near ready yet, so if he soon is it's a big bonus for the team.

I'm so excited. I wasn't in the crowd and so I must be playing tomorrow! Now awaiting the call.

 

[Great_Expectations]

I know Bapaga is a hot prospect and impressively already around the first team squad, but wasn’t Ngandu also tipped to make an impact this year?

Is that still the case and Bapaga is just overshadowing everyone, or is he just not as ready as initially thought?

I don't think you can read anything into Ngandu's readiness from the fact that Bapaga has played 10 minutes.

 

[Sky Blue Pete]

Both highly rated

Good job I wasn’t then.

I’m hoping someone in the know or who watches the U23’s has some insight.

Bapaga might be a case of giving him first team minutes to show how valued he is and get him to sign pro terms in case any big teams are circling.

And I suppose the risk we have to accept is that it could work the other way and teams are impressed and offer him terms. When can he officially sign with us?

 

[Magwitch]

Or bloke

 

[stevefloyd]

He wouldn't score if he did

When he turns 17.

True. Both on the other hand, if he's already been playing in the first team at 16, I suspect that the compensation could be higher. Is there a formula?

 

[mrtrench]

I've answered my own question. It's not a formula. Some of these sums seem very small for what could be very good players. It seems that the lower you are in the hierarchy, the less you get.

Compensation for players under 24

 

[Hobo]

Just on my way down there to catch the second half hoping to see Grendel
With his shirt on with “Max 9” on the back

Grendel more likely to have Max 9" on the back.

The smaller clubs getting the worst deal, what a surprise!

Nope to the 1st part of the question.

Isn't that exactly what he said?!

 

[cc84cov]

I think Walters looks a very good player right wing could be pushing for the first team this season.
