Leeds Ram Posted January 9, 2021 Share Posted January 9, 2021 The kids are doing well against a well drilled team who would be a challenge to beat with a mix of first teamers and second string players. It will be a good experience for them with what should be no pressure at all. I'm not sure if people remember our game against Southport in the 3rd round a few years ago and it was only when Ibe came on that we looked dangerous and finally broke them down. Even then they had chances, so to be expecting a mix of under 18's and under 23's to get anything from this (no matter how talented) would be wildly optimistic.

Not really got into the game at all, attack vs defence for most of the half. Nothing to be ashamed of though, you can’t compete with kids. If we had our best young players out there, I’d be a bit more disappointed. It’s not only the absence of the best young players, but the fact it’s a hodgepodge or two different teams who have prepared for this game in a school.

This Chorley side is cack. Big lads bullying a youth team, nothing else about them. If we are able to get the ball down and play it a bit if Chorley drop their intensity then we might be able to nick something. Chorley are non-league. They won't be that intense for 90 minutes.

angieram Posted January 9, 2021 Share Posted January 9, 2021 1 minute ago, Sith Happens said: there is some grass ? ??? This, of course, is the problem. Loads of passes look like they are being under hit because the pitch is so poor. Alternative is to play it over the top and hope we can run onto it.

sage Posted January 9, 2021 Share Posted January 9, 2021 We are still in the game . We need Bateman to sit in front of that big CF and stop the ball getting to him. Cybulksi on up front to add som height. Calm it down and pass and move. Tbf to the lads and half frozen pitch isn't conducive to playing good football.

You suspect that if that had happened at our end it would be penalty with red card to Yates. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure they are capable of more but for that, they would have to play together and train together more. They barely even know each other. The team is the very epitome of 'cobbled together'.

I fear some of these lads will wake up tomorrow with a regret of not leaving everything out on the pitch Out of interest, who for ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ramarena Posted January 9, 2021 Share Posted January 9, 2021 So in conclusion. They need to try harder run around more and grow bigger balls! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mwram1973 Posted January 9, 2021 Share Posted January 9, 2021 Team that's never played together, let then enjoy the game and move on. It will be a great experience for them and as some have alluded to, a lot of these players will never get to play professional football. Lets give em a break eh, Not their fault.

BrudeRAM Posted January 9, 2021 Share Posted January 9, 2021 Just like to see them take a couple of risks and be a bit braver on the ball because they shouldn’t get any stick, they’re massive underdogs. We have nothing to lose Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kinder Posted January 9, 2021 Share Posted January 9, 2021 I’ve found a dodgy site to watch it on. I’ve no idea what language it’s in but it sounds like the Fast Show.

RoyMac5 Posted January 9, 2021 Share Posted January 9, 2021 Doesn't matter what level we play the bloody refs still don't give us penalties! Ref been more than ordinary and a homer. Glad I'm not a Chorley fan, apparently they've not set up this way to play us, they're always agricultural! ? We've had some flashes of play, can do better, but giving it a good go. Come on you Rams!

Topram Posted January 9, 2021 Share Posted January 9, 2021 Can only see Chorley scoring more but we are still in it and anything can happen, I’d throw the big lad up front try something different Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghost of Clough Posted January 9, 2021 Share Posted January 9, 2021 A full strength U23 side would.have Foster/Idem in goal. McDonald and Ebosele are ahead of Bardell Archie and Grewal-Pollard ahead of Williams Wassall, Minkley and Cashin ahead of all 3 CBs Dixon, JBrown and Watson likely ahead of the midfield 3. 2 of Shonibare, Mitchell-Lawson and Wilson would have started on the wing Trialist or Stretton starting upfront That's not even considering Buchanan, Bird, Knight, Sibley and Whittaker making the step up after playing in the U18s a season and a half ago. To compound matters, this group f players didn't start preparing for this game until late Wednesday at the earliest. But it gets worse... yesterday we lost a few players from the squad due to positive tests and even lost our assistant manager. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xlor Posted January 9, 2021 Share Posted January 9, 2021 Just now, Tombo said: We're being harsh on these young lads. Chorley aren't a team of part time milkmen and postmen, non-league football is not like that. They will be lucky if all of our U18s even in their prime play at Chorley's level. Some will. Some will do better. Some will do much much better. But that's football. Chorley are an experienced and disciplined team of footballers. Cut the kids some slack. Non league football is exactly like that. I watched these v Alfreton town in an absolutely awful 1-1, Alfreton being robbed by the worst penalty decision you'll ever see. This is embarrassing! All we've heard for the last few seasons is youth this, youth that and what for? May as well of saved millions and just paid the alfreton players £400 to turn out. If these are the best kids we've got then fold the academy because I could rustle up 11 that could manage to be (luckily too) 1 down at ht.
