I think he's a good player to have around at this level for the team, we don't seem to have an abundance of good centre-halves.

Tis a mystery? Although I did link a while back to the Mail's Secret Scout, who said he could be an option for a LG1/2 side on loan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shadowplay Posted August 3, 2020 Share Posted August 3, 2020 26 minutes ago, Stuniverse said: Didn’t Jordan Brown play LB for the U23s? One of the many positions the versatile youngster can play? With his stature and ability in the air think he would make an excellent centre half. He’s very comfortable with the ball at his feet - very much a Cocu type player, could see him being the breakthrough player this coming season.

Ghost of Clough Posted August 4, 2020 Author Share Posted August 4, 2020 A little guess at our most used lineups next season...

Can’t see us playing 3 at the back for that reason. Typically yes, but it largely depends on the players available. I don't think we have that this year. The U18s used 3/5 at the back for a majority of the 18/19 season, which included most of the personnel who make up the U23 squad this season - typically 352 but occasionally 343. They only really reverted to 4 at the back in the tail end of that season when we fielded the trio of Bird, Knight and Sibley to ensure we won that title. I think we can rule out playing 433 as we just don't have enough CMs to play it. It would leave us with 2 defenders and no CMs on the bench/backup. I suppose the only other option is to play 4231, which would leave us with a more balanced bench (2 defenders, 1 CM, 1 winger, 1 CF, and the odd U18). Dixon JBrown Wilson Cresswell Archie Trialist The reason I see us staying away from this is to get as many of our more promising players more game time. As much as I like Wassall, Bateman, Shonibare and Cresswell, I don't think they'll make the step up to our first team. So our focus should be getting the others in that matchday squad as often as possible. The 6 definite starters for me are Ebosele, Minkley, JBrown, Dixon, Archie and Trialist. With it being such a young squad, I see Wassall staying in the team. To get Cashin in the team as well that means a switch to 3/5 at the back.

According to a Man Utd colleague of mine, I found out this about Olamide Ibrahim: he’s right-footed, played CB or DM for Man Utd’s U16s and was captain quite often last season. Goes by the name of Ola. RoyMac5, MackworthRamIsGod, Ghost of Clough and 1 other 2 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Presumably released at the player's request, is still a release. Gary always at matches watching his son. Maybe thinks he's not getting enough of a chance here? He's very talented but still quite small in stature for his age group. therealhantsram 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe it’s the number of players between him and the first team. Maybe he wants to play CM or LW instead of LB? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kinder Posted August 4, 2020 Share Posted August 4, 2020 Weren’t Gary Charles and Wass playing for us at the same time? I’d imagine they know each other well enough to have an honest conversation about Jaden’s prospects. Either that or a very awkward conversation! therealhantsram 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
