Match Day Thread U23 games 2016-17

FT QPR 2 Hull City 3

 

Great win that, thanks Peter for the updates.

 

Afraid I can't go along with this. No food pictures and little more than 1-0 1-1 2-1.
Disappointing is putting it mildly
I've never even been in a nandos I was hoping to live vicariously through peter

 

Although I passed four Nandos on my way to the ground I didn't eat in any of them.

 

Getting back to the serious business Peter, rather than the frivolous stuff from an other, what did you think to Ter Horst, for me he has come on well this season, and is very quick, and has an eye for a goal?

 

I agree. I noticed that sometimes he didn't get dragged into trying to help get the ball but would position himself in a good place if we won the ball. He'd then be ready to run through on goal. He nearly scored another goal near the end but the goalkeeper saved his shot when he was clean through.
Brad Maslen-Jones had a header cleared off the line followed by a shot well saved by the goalkeeper from two corners in succession.
We had a lot more chances than QPR.

 

How did Ahmed Salam play peter?

 

Mixed.
He was dispossessed once when he was trying to bring the ball out of defence and the QPR right winger was very skillful and gave him the run around but his fellow defenders helped him out. He did better going forward though.

 

He was playing out of position I. Defence then? He's a winger.

 

he had number 3 on his back and he was certainly more of a full back than even a wing back or winger

 

With Tymon now in the first team squad Brandon Fleming is the usual left back who is a very good prospect, but was rested after the Liverpool game. Fleming just needs to grow a bit.

 

What do you think of kelledy?

And ter horst is being released in the summer i believe?

 

Given the 120 minutes plus penalties on Sunday I was expecting a lot of changes

 

Kelledy was fantastic - very good in the air and dominant all round
Ter Horst - is that due to the drink driving?
I worry about the point of our academy
The lower league clubs can see them as a way of getting players on the cheap
The top clubs look for the best young players
Clubs like City are unlikely to get many players who can come through to play in their Premier League matches - Tymon is the exception

 

whenever i've seen kelledy, albeit only a very few times.. he 's really impressed me and have no idea, i just read somewhere that he was being released, think his brother tweeted it

 

Living in London I see the U23s very rarely. At one match Barry Fry was quizzing me on the players - luckily a few of the "stars" were playing so I could busk it!

 

He's a LB.

 

I will not be able to make it tonight to watch him, came off my bike yesterday and can't walk too well this morning.
