SeparateEntityMyArse 53,608 Posted May 17, 2017 Share Posted May 17, 2017 Take a bow son. Despite result, can hold his head high, our best player on the night imo. Composed, decent in air, looked to make himself available and put senior pros to shame. He's been at the club since the age of 6 apparently, and 54 on his jersey tells me he's one of our own. Did all that was asked of him. And deserves retaining his jersey on Sunday. Well done young man. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spiderpig 176 Posted May 17, 2017 Share Posted May 17, 2017 how did Bates get first team games ahead of him...? looked good today in a hard debut Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
JRodgA2k8 542 Posted May 17, 2017 Share Posted May 17, 2017 I'm absolutely amazed Bates has got in ahead of him recently. Thought the boy was superb tonight, was even demanding the ball, didn't shy away from it at all. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

For a debut of an 18 year old without an experienced centre back alongside he did well and didn't seem nervous. Not saying he's a starter for coming seasons but surely enough there to be cover.

Aubie92 1,074 Posted May 17, 2017 Share Posted May 17, 2017 I thought both of them looked alright, though Wilson was far more comfortable on the ball. They had some hairy moments, but Toral offered no support, and there were points where they went for the keeper's ball as Foderingham wasn't shouting for it. I think they're an improvement on Wilson & Kiernan. Main problem is that Miller kept having to come back to try to organise them, giving us less options further up the pitch. That's where someone like Bruno Alves is needed. Even Hill wasn't organising the defence that well; we need a communicator in there - and one who won't stand for shitebags trying to pin the blame on their own fuck ups on the defence.

Well worthy of a start next game Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ivybank 4,573 Posted May 17, 2017 Share Posted May 17, 2017 Been saying for weeks Wilson is a far better player than bates, but what do I know I don't get payed thousands to see that! Bates couldn't even get a game with raith, could pick a better team myself Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlueboyG 5,222 Posted May 17, 2017 Share Posted May 17, 2017 The young man done excellent and didn't look phased, bates panics when he has the ball at his feet and doesn't look comfortable. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
DESGER 241 Posted May 17, 2017 Share Posted May 17, 2017 I think him and beerman could save us a few bob as we don't need to waste money on cover for left back or centre back as they have proven capable of stepping up. Hopefully to develop into 1st choice eventually(all being well!!) Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ferris Bueller 1,569 Posted May 17, 2017 Share Posted May 17, 2017 Yeah was a stand out, rest of the youngsters put the rest of the imposters to shame as well, Barjonas should be a definate starter in the next game as well. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Courtyard Bear 41,357 Posted May 17, 2017 Share Posted May 17, 2017 He was better than Bates, but the defence still looked all over the place. Hopefully he can develop into our main CB in a couple of years. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

jackrfc95 4,255 Posted May 17, 2017 Share Posted May 17, 2017 Was up against 2 big experienced physical strikers and more than held his own. Won plenty in the air against them as well. Him, Beerman and Barjonas the only positives tonight. Says a lot for the rest of the shite around them. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
beechwood bear 559 Posted May 17, 2017 Share Posted May 17, 2017 Thought Wilson was excellent and young Barjonas looks very composed. Young boys showed up well and apart from Miller and Fod,the rest of them were a disgrace. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
