B4ev6is Posted September 28, 2018 Share Posted September 28, 2018 Might be a sign that frank lampard thinks nearly match fit. He might get some game time tommrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kernow Posted September 28, 2018 Share Posted September 28, 2018 Thorne... injured or bench for tomorrow? It's most likely the former, but would be nice to see him back in the squad. Would show that Frank does think he has a part to play this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SaintRam Posted September 28, 2018 Share Posted September 28, 2018 I'm a little disappointed Holmes is playing tonight. I guess its understandable with Wilson now being fit and Lawrence coming back from suspension, but I really like what I've seen from young Duane.

I like him in the 18. But as I say I understand why FL doesn't see him getting in the 18 this weekend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghost of Clough Posted September 28, 2018 Share Posted September 28, 2018 Fantastic play there. It’s been coming and it’s a goal for Cresswell Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OohMartWright Posted September 28, 2018 Share Posted September 28, 2018 Holmes one on one with the keeper and fluffs the best chance of the game ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SaintRam Posted September 28, 2018 Share Posted September 28, 2018 Butterfield's playing quite well. He's really putting effort in. Be easy to be lazy just playing for the U23s but he's really giving it his all. Credit to him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carl Sagan Posted September 28, 2018 Share Posted September 28, 2018 Had half an eye on the second half. Sibley excellent. As has been said, Holmes missed a clean one-on-one where he seemed undecided and lost control as he neared the keeper. No way does his absence mean Thorne will be on the bench tomorrow. With Lawrence back in the squad, Frank will find it hard enough dropping one of the current squad crop if Lawrence makes it as one of the Bolton subs. Interesting to see Butterfield on the pitch. Did the simple things well. We had the better chances and many more of them tonight, but PSG dominated the ball the last 10 minutes, without threatening. Surprised Jack Stretton wasn't rewarded with a place on the bench after 6 goals in the last 2 games for the U18s. We lack a prolific goalscorer at youth level.

Waffle Posted September 28, 2018 Share Posted September 28, 2018 How did McAllister play? Does he look like a future prospect? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
angieram Posted September 28, 2018 Share Posted September 28, 2018 Went to the game tonight. There were a lot of fans there - good to see. With better finishing we should have won that game; as @Carl Sagan says we really do lack a clinical finisher at this level. Impressed by McAllister, who is getting better as he gets match fit. Max Bird played well too back in his more usual defensive role, with Thorne's absence. Butterfield does the simple things well and kept going, despite his own lack of game time recently. Sibley could have snuck it for us at the end - he had a growing influence on the game. I wondered tonight whether we were a bit in awe of playing PSG as it took us quite a while to realise we could cause them problems. Yes, they have the technical skills but didn’t have that many chances despite their possession. An enjoyable game if not quite the result we would have wanted.

Created them all sorts of trouble with his close control and tricky dribbling. My highlight of the game was a 30-35 yard ball over the top to Holmes - he seemed to be faced towards his own goal with several PSG players around him at the time, but still managed to play in an inch perfect ball Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inverurie Ram Posted September 28, 2018 Share Posted September 28, 2018 I watched the second half and enjoyed it and thought we did enough to win the game. Anyway it's Friday night and this thread needs some music, something from a French band perhaps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
