Hopefully Jack Stretton to bag lots of goals too. [Sadly Rooney won't play either of them] I agree. Hope you've got the last bit wrong, though!

BramcoteRam84 Posted July 18, 2021 Share Posted July 18, 2021 Im hoping the four more established young players (Bird Buchanan Knight and Sibley) will make that step forward this season and become top championship players. This is my no means a given, if it happens and It’s a big if it might just be a very different and much more positive season than everyone is expecting right now. Im confident those four players will make that leap at some point in the next couple of years, it’s just timing. As for who is going to breakthrough. I think McDonald Ebosele Watson and Stretton (if he can stay clear of injury) are the main candidates. I’m going to say McDonald, really like the look of him he could challenge Byrne this season. angieram 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RamLad1884 Posted July 22, 2021 Share Posted July 22, 2021 Cybulski to break through from the under 23s in October/November.

roboto Posted July 22, 2021 Share Posted July 22, 2021 Season 21/22 is the season of Festy. He will be the versatile player on the bench at first. Being able to fill in at full back, DM, on the wing and strangely at CF according to how Rooney used him last season. However, his performances will earn him a starting spot and we'll all be getting Ebosele printed on our shirts for the promotion parade.

I love the idea of him, as I'm obsessed with our lack of pace and power. He seems a unit but i haven't seen him play. You may be onto something with his versatility which may allow him to accumulate experience and grow into first team footie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leeds Ram Posted July 22, 2021 Share Posted July 22, 2021 I'm really hoping Sibley can get his mojo back as a number 10. It might be that his breakout season under Cocu can't be repeated as he's struggling to make that step up once teams are wise to him. This isn't unusual with younger players but hopefully he can prove his worth at this level. The fact he couldn't get a starting slot against Man Utd though doesn't exactly speak volumes for his chances this season. As for others, Bird and Knight both had poor seasons when they did appear last season so hopefully they can make good on their promise under Cocu. Again, it could be that second season syndrome kicked in for these players- the fact that a totally average Graham Shinnie wasn't just our best midfield player but player of the season highlights the poor seasons they had.

In hoping for new signings every time I come onto the site I am pushing one of our young prospects out of a place. Maybe the way to get a playing identity is to pick a team of players who have played together for a few years. Maybe it's time to let Watson, Sibley and Stretton have a go. Shinnie and CKR will look after them and feed off their energy. Certainly an alternative to playing experienced players no one else wants Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Certainly an alternative to playing experienced players no one else wants It's whether these young players are good enough to make it at this level. Very few players have the ability to do it consistently and well especially at age of 20/21. In maybe the last 2 decades we've had Huddlestone, Hughes, Hendrik and Bogle that I can think of from my immediate memory that were good second division players and they came through even earlier than that. There is no evidence that Watson or Stretton are good enough to make it at this level atm and we can't be relying on those players to save us. Having a batch of youngsters was a miserable failure last season and it's hard to see how it'll be different this year. I think a sprinkling of academy talent is a good idea, relying upon it to the degree you're suggesting I think could doom us.

Dean (hick) Saunders Posted July 22, 2021 Share Posted July 22, 2021 CKR Breakthrough season, scores 22 league goals to fire the Rams into the playoffs. Press say there is life the the old dog yet and Aston Villa rumoured to be interested. Mr Pop from Bristol says he must be on performance enhancing medication and he should be lined up in front of Mel and bayoneted with a foot of cold steel.

Stuniverse Posted July 22, 2021 Share Posted July 22, 2021 I’d like to see Jordan Brown given a chance, although his flexibility to play a number of different positions may count against him. angieram 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
