Nkounkou

[gonetomorrow]

Give this lad a game soon. What do we have to lose?

 

[john jako]

U23’s as well.

So who starts more? Or they both play?

Nkounkou isn’t with the U23’s.

I watched Nkounkou last week when he played left back for the U23s . He was distinctly average, I don’t remember a single thing he did well, none of those surging runs down the left with a dangerous cross at the end of it that we all saw in the few matches he’s played. In fact the Commentator had him down as at fault for the equalising goal. It wasn’t his mistake that led to the goal but he was up the pitch when it was given away and in the replays he’s just jogging back when the guy scores from from the right side of our box. He’s a super young player , we do need to ensure he develops further - my abiding worry is that we let him drift into another Luke Garbutt.

Aye, I've thought that for a while. At least he'll give you legs, and will run with the ball.

Instead we have crabs coming on from the bench.

So if he ever plays for the u23s does small get the chop? Or does he play left wing?

He’s only played like 3-4 times for the U23’s and always at LB.

 

[consho]

Because, if you look in the training videos, he's gash. Same as broadhead. I really want him to be good, I like him, but I honestly think he's got to smash people in training to get a go.

Many years ago I was priviliged through my profession to be welcomed regularly at Bellefield and to watch training sessions. One player who could have been termed "gash" during these sessions was one Duncan McKenzie.
Need I say any more? .

The under 23’s won 5-0 at Southampton today. Not sure who played

Some players are talented enough to train lazily, most aren't.

 

[WA Toffee]

As an alternative to any player occupying that left side role who is consistently costing us opportunities to win games. Names and reputations mean nothing if there is no end product

So Digne or Richarlison then.

 

[Terrarian]

I would be interested to see what he could have done on the RW. A left footer cutting in and he would also offer some defensive cover.

You want a 19 year old LB on the RW...I cannae breathe lol

It was just a suggestion. The modern way is to play wingers on the opposite side. Oviedo did it a few times a left back switched to RW. I understand he is only 19 but that means he has more scope for learning. Actually as an example we have done it in reverse in the u18s when we asked Liam Higgins a right footed left winger to switch to right back.
