Yep. Being good enough for our first team t years later doesn't make our decision to release him then a bad decision. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Long Time Lurker Posted January 12 Share Posted January 12 Living fairly near to Motspur Park, I went along to the game tonight. While it's certainly disappointing that we were on the way to three points after 93 minutes and were going home with none after 97 (part of the first team ethos the academy certainly seems to have taken on board), I don't think we should get too downhearted. Overall Fulham probably deserved their win, dominating possession for the last third of the match, and we were a bit reliant on their poor final balls and inept finishing at times. That said, we matched them for long periods and I don't think anyone would have seen us as being two divisions below them, as we are of course at first team level. Of the individual performances, four stood out for me for different reasons. In the first half at least Fulham had no answer at all to Dejaune Brown, who simply bullied their rather large centre half as if it was the easiest thing in the world. DB saw less of the ball in the second half, but he took his goal nicely. Hopefully he will not be another Calum Ball type who struggles when up against more experienced and tougher opponents. His overall game - touch, awareness, positioning etc - all seemed good to me. This last point holds true for Lennon Wheeldon who really seems to be growing into the no 10 role. Ryan Bartley had an excellent game at centre back, a calm, reassuring presence who read the game well. And then there was Darren Robinson, who I was particularly keen to watch, in part for some of the reasons discussed higher up in this thread. I thought he was really good, passing the ball quickly and accurately with the minimum of fuss. He was unlucky not to score when after a great run, he hit the post with the keeper stranded. He certainly likes a tackle. One particular pole axing of a Fulham player was spectacular, with many in the crowd seemingly sharing my surprise that no free kick was given. If it was up to me, I'd see DRob as a better bet for the first team than Tyrese Fornah, particularly as a CDM. But it is of course not up to me at all, and DRob may have some mysterious Elsnikesque shortcoming which means he never makes it. However, he seems to be ahead of Fornah in areas such as positioning and knowing when to release the ball. This is not to slag off Fornah, who certainly has some talent but to me he plays more like an 18 year old than someone who is 23. In parenthesis, as we used to say in the Ossie End, I do wonder whether this might be to do with where we got him from. I recently saw a little documentary on Oliver Burke, who the Red Dogs managed to stiff RB Leipzig for about £13m back in the day. The documentary made the point that Burke had a certain degree of raw talent, but the Leipzig coaches were surprised at how poorly he had been coached meaning that he was deficient in all sorts of basics. Still, if you can get £13m for somebody that poor, you must literally be laughing all the way to the bank.

whiteroseram Posted January 13 Share Posted January 13 20 hours ago, sage said: The trouble is, he wasn't Championship standard as his contract was ending. He had one good loan spell and then 2 so so ones. As with Ravas and Jakobsen how long do you wait? Maybe them leaving and playing regularly is the way for them to have the career they have now. That's why what the massive clubs with brilliant with academies do so well is sell them with sell on clauses before contracts run out eg Lavia with Man City Not so easy to do at championship or league 1 level as these players often end up worth more money 2/3 moves later but still that's where more value can be extracted Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
