Academy Thread 21/22

My thoughts on this :-

Who the hell thought Dylan Williams was a winger?

Why does Hutchinson always play out of position?

Who thought Agatise was first team material?

Foulkes needs to work on his distribution. 

Why has Watson forgotten to pass forwards?

Bardell is a better player than Cashin.

Need a target man too.

We are playing the academy of the Premier League champions. They have the pick of the best young players from right across Europe, either from a very early age or when they choose to hoover them up from other academies. ?

They are without some of their fringe first team players but our entire forward line and best young midfielder are with our first team.

Despite this obvious mis-match we have limited them to a few speculative shots. I'd say we are doing okay so far.

I respect what you’re saying but their best youngsters are also with their first team!! 

We play in the same league and the academy is at the same level. 

Even accounting for that it doesn’t answer any of the basic questions.

Maybe if we played people in the correct positions it would be a start at seeing the best of what they can offer.

He came as an attacking midfielder I thought?

He was a CM v Salford and scored by getting forward and played as the deepest CM v Sheffield United and was excellent. In pre season he played CM v Notts County and left wing v Salford….

Stands to reason we’d try and turn him into something else.

He often played wide midfield for Southend and often plays there for us . As Williams is playing in the other side of midfield, perhaps we don't have any out and out wingers available

Which is my point….why does he always seem to play out of position? At one point I thought he was going to break in as a CM yet he rarely if ever plays there for 23s and it’s clearly his best position.

So, he often plays in a position that YOU think isn't his best one.
