2017/18 Kieran Dowell

[mightymoyes]

Don't see why he should be in the squad tbh. Yeah he scored 2 goals but against Genk he didn't really do anything and this is an important game tonight.

So all the rest of the squad should be demoted too if that's what you're going by

 

[mightymoyes]

Obvious he's not going to be involved at all this season, just hope they don't balls up his loan move too

 

[Rudolf Hucker]

I'm hoping we play our strongest side & get the business done.

If we can get a big enough margin to make the away leg a dead rubber, then that's the time to nurture a kid like Dowell.

Play him tonight, they get a breakaway goal & the mouth breathers will shatter his confidence.

So he's not selected tonight & that makes it obvious he's not getting a sniff all season?

 

[LinekersLegs]

Should never have sponsored his thread, have cursed the poor lad

Pretty much, keeping him in u23s for another season will be pointless

 

[johnnydawg68]

Disappointing if true.

Hmm, should consider sponsoring the Trump thread then, Legs.

Who's said he'll be there all season though? Season's not even started.

 

[Mikey_Fitzgerald]

What's the point in playing kids during pre season if you still drop them even after they've done well?

Perplexing

It's a disgrace if this lad has been punted back down the pecking order.

Yawn - you spinning everything to fit your anti-Koeman agenda is getting beyond tedious and moving you firmly into wum territory.

Don't see why he should be in the squad tbh. Yeah he scored 2 goals but against Genk he didn't really do anything and this is an important game tonight.

If he is good enough he will get in the side, Koeman rewards the youngsters.

This could mean Lookman is starting if Sandro not risked for a full game.

^ This, really.

 

[ToffeeTim]

Lookman is ahead of him in the pecking order right now and I think that's on merit. The boy has done well tho and his time will come.

 

[bluesb1970]

I can’t see the club allowing him to have an interview aired, where he says he wants to break into the first team, and then putting him in the U23s for the season.

 

[Tubey]

I don't see anything wrong with this. Sure, he did well, but he needs a loan, preferably in the Championship. Competitive, physical games to see if he can cut it and apply his game in a fierce environment.

If we end up having a squad that relies on a youth player making an impact for us this season, then we've ballsed up good and proper.

you do know you can only pick 11 don't you Mikey?

My guess would be the players picked tonight have been showing more than him in training, just a hunch!
