U23 v Cardiff today (1 Viewer)

[Magwitch]

Our No 3 (Newton) likes a tackle - do like him

Highly rated apparently

[Nick]

Is Jones playing wing back?

 

[speedie87]

The pitch is well small the 10 yard from corner flag market is about An inch from the edge of the area

 

[Nick]

Newton with a good run and cross but Biamou couldnt get it on goal.

 

[Sky Blue Harry H]

JJ still looks tentative/rusty (but not a criticism. just needs game time)

 

[speedie87]

How does kastener look less fit everytime I see him?

 

[fernandopartridge]

Biamou showed from that Kastaneer pull back that he has no strikers instinct whatsoever, why hasn't he gambled on that at the front post?

Pask looks very composed.

Jones has been OK

Our 7 (rwb?) and Burroughs not really in the game, nor is Jordan Young

 

[cc84cov]

Pask looks very good,tall & quick,expected him to be in the starting 11 this season until the injury he was raved about at West Ham.

Just behind Max, central

Wakefield is 7

 

[fernandopartridge]

Wakefield is 7

He looks a bit bigger than previously, not taller but weightier / muscular.

[Sky Blue Harry H]

Anybody else laughing at the passing between Wilson and the defenders a minute ago, through the eye of a needle? we'd have done our nut in a first team game!

 

[speedie87]

Great skills from jones then

 

[Winny the Bish]

Jones looking like he's actually trying and he could work in one of the Shipley/Zain spots. Not sure the same could be said for the rest.

 

[Gibbo]

Highly rated apparently

another reason for cashing in on McCallum

Kastaneer & max don’t look fussed...

jones looks good in that number 10 spot

 

[Irish Sky Blue]

Jones played a more central role in that half. Maybe where he will be used in the first team.

 

[Briles]

Jones has good control and can receive the ball on the turn much like Walsh and Allen

 

[better days]

Looks like Ponti stripped and warming up to come on 2and half

Played almost all his youth football there
Most young forward players start wide when they first come into men's football

Love him, but he's clearly happiest when he's facing their goal and has an opportunity to run at them. Great turn with his back to goal earlier, but if he's going to appear in our first team, he;s going to have to put in his body/foot more (see Newton - left back). Not everyone can be a hard/good tackler, but when the opposition have the ball he is almost playing shadow defending. without ever putting his foot in. I know it takes time, but he doesn't look ready for the first team yet. Playing more games like this will get him there, though.

 

[harvey098]

Max's body language awful from the first whistle. Almost seems a bit pissed off to be playing in it.

Good point
Players coming back after a long injury absence take a few games to get their confidence back and go into challenges

If I remember he played there in a Checkatrade with him, George Thomas and Lamerias all swapping positions all half across the front 3. I can't remember who it was against but the other team couldn't get near us.

Thought that myself

Wycombe away?

 

[better days]

Stand outs first half for me Newton, Pask and Jones

 

[cc84cov]

Unbelievable miss from kastaneer then rounds the keeper tight angle just no composure at all

 

[Sky Blue Harry H]

Didnt want to laugh at Kastaneer's finish - but did anyway!!

 

[Mr Panda]

Kastaneer with a good chance there.

That's why his team mates don't fancy Kasta
Totally selfish and plays like he's still in the under 11s

The same as Nazon I recall - didn’t last too long here and not gone on to much since

He struggles at under 23’s level

Bizarre signing

 

[Sky Blue Harry H]

Max has still held the ball up about ten times better than Kasta (plus Max has been out injured) kasta looks knackered to me.
