Today's game

Quoted from barralass

80,s Glory, do you need specs or me?
You put in a good post match post but from where I was sitting Kenny Arthur was GK for the full 90 minutes, so where did you get McKeown from, unless you were looking at Rotherham's 2nd half goalie?

You were too busy feeling Grumpy!

Quoted from Tommy

You're not really writing off Mulready after 45 minutes of our first friendly are you? A bit harsh. His first ever start in a senior match as well. I do think he struggled but I wouldn't write him off.

Agree we definitely need left back cover though.

you can tell a players style, the bosses can't be that convinced either seen as he only got 6 months. He's small and lightweight so he needs to be quick but he isn't.

I'm not feeling grumpy anymore!
Having read everyone's posts, there's a sense of optimism in the air.
I remember coming away from our pre-season win over Sheff Weds last year thinking we would walk the league and look how that turned out.
I wonder if we were a little hasty in getting rid of Ademeno though?

I thought Mulready started at Wimbledon last season.

He is small but he is also pretty quick.

Give the kid a chance. I am sure he isnt seen as a starter and IF we sign another striker and keep Duffy and Makofo his chances are going to be slight but his record at Youth level dictates H&S were right to give him a chance.

Perhaps a period on loan and regular games will benefit Sam. Not sure what sort of player he is. He will not win headers, does not take players on and beat them, struggles to hold the ball up. So I guess he is more in the goal poacher mould. Really don't know

C'mon, let's give the kid a chance! Mulready probably isn't ready for the first team yet, but if he's anything he's a goalscorer - and they're not so easy to find.

If you're not going to check out a youngster who's scored plenty and regularly at youth level, why bother with a youth setup at all?

IF he's a goal poacher type we might be able to play him successfully, given the graft we can expect from the rest of the team. For now, let's just wish him well.

I wish him well.

I do wish him well, but I don't see him being good enough for us, my opinion am sorry but just because he's young dosn't mean I should sympathise we don't have that luxery. He might prove me wrong but at he moment I doubt it.

Oh i'm sure if he scores a couple in pre season people will see him as the second coming of Jesus and whatever else. Some seem too eager to get excited by youth players. The youth games and reserves games are different to the first team and even if they did well in those doesn't mean it'll translate to the first team. Look at Andy Taylor. Scored loads for the reserves and people were calling for him to play in the first team and when he did he was crap.
