Bubbles Posted March 5, 2020 Share Posted March 5, 2020 Honestly thought the lads deserve a separate thread. Give yourselves a pat on the back. Sibley was quality today, his beef with McDonalds was a joy to watch. Showed passion, resilience, top stuff. Knighty boy, getting better with each game, I mean that. Bird, same as above! Whittaker getting better, showing more effort and determination, his time will come.. People will give Cocu poo for the lineup, look at the bigger picture, giving these lads the opportunity to play against Man United, who i said before the game have been a different gravy recently, is an priceless opportunity for them to go and stake a claim. They can hold their heads high. An inform united and thats all you can say really. Next season we will be better, giving these lads the chances and opportunities that arise will do them a world of good on their way to becoming valuable first team players. Ah well, on to the next one. The future is black and white ladies, gentlemen, non-binary friends! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Van der MoodHoover Posted March 5, 2020 Share Posted March 5, 2020 Got the basis of a decent team. A couple of carefully thought through purchases to go along with te wierik and it could be a brilliant season next year..? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghost of Clough Posted March 5, 2020 Share Posted March 5, 2020 Whittaker is getting better with every game. Starting to show those little bits of class and popping up in those positions on the edge of the box where he’s scored the best part of 20 goals over the past 2 seasons.

LeedsCityRam Posted March 5, 2020 Share Posted March 5, 2020 Occasions like tonight, the League Cup tie at Forest and the Northampton arm wrestle are exactly what these lads need. Tough situations, crowd expectation, motivated opponents...can the young lads still execute like they do on the training pitch/for the under-23s? All power to Cocu for seeing the long term picture & slowly integrating them. Max Bird was nowhere near the first team 4 months ago, now he's arguably the first name on the team sheet. Sibley will be joining him before too long & Whitaker too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mckram Posted March 5, 2020 Share Posted March 5, 2020 I’d much rather watch these lads finish mid table than that Billy Davies team that got us promoted. I loved watching Giles Barnes and Will Hughes progress and we’re lucky enough to have 5 or 6 of them in the same team. Good seasons to come.

Millenniumram Posted March 5, 2020 Share Posted March 5, 2020 Definitely deserve a lot of praise for their mental strength to play in a game like that. It was always going to be a tough game against vastly, vastly superior opposition - so to come out and keep fighting until the very end is really commendable. Especially when we conceded those first couple of goals first half, would have been very easy for young players like we had out there to lose hope and just collapse. But they did the exact opposite, our performance in the second half was much better and far less nervy - we kept battling away until the very end, and that really is to the young lads credit, given the game was already lost. Credit to the manager as well for that, we looked very nervy first half and we seemed too scared to play our natural game. He’s obviously had a word at half time, gave the players a bit of belief in themselves, and they came out second half much better for it. So yeah, massive well done to the young lads for the way they stepped up to the big stage on what was surely both an extremely exciting, but also extremely nervy, night for them. That’s the magic of the FA cup I suppose, it can give youngsters like our lot their first taste of the big time, which is no doubt a hugely valuable experience in their future development. And with the natural technical quality some of these lads show, it would be no surprise if they’re playing at that level week in, week out in the future.

Uptherams Posted March 5, 2020 Share Posted March 5, 2020 Absolutely fantastic. I'm a huge fan of Sibley and he needs to get more starts and game time. Especially after that ??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jram Posted March 5, 2020 Share Posted March 5, 2020 Thought Bird was really good as usual If I’m honest, I don’t agree with some of the reviews of the other lads... Knight has played much better than he did tonight and Sibley was anonymous for most of it Whittaker again decent when he came on Max Lowe is top drawer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whittaker played a few lovely balls and looked dangerous when given the chance, I don't think he's very far off at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also did well not to knock McTominay out Think Lowe has massive potential but a few sloppy passes & bit muted going forward tonight Whitaker & Knight did well, agreed ? And Bird was just his usual class self Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Might not suit our style but offered alot more then whittaker did when both come on he just needs more time with Rooney like that ball from defence to striker and great stop from romeo offers something different and he's score loads with Rooney and even if he was off Martin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nottingram Posted March 5, 2020 Share Posted March 5, 2020 Sibley rattling that big gangly weirdo in midfield for them was the highlight. Honestly thought he was going to cry at one stage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
