cambridgeshire canary 6,742 Posted September 24, 2023 "Who cares send the under 21's" is my simple answer Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
canarybubbles 1,923 Posted September 24, 2023 For me, no point playing Onel there. He needs to be on one of the wings. Ogwuru or Aboh up front to see if they could possibly play that role in the game on Saturday. No Hwang, but this won't happen because Webber has wasted about a million on him, so he'll start in an attempt to protect our Supreme Leader's reputation.

GJL Mid-Norfolk Canary 1,777 Posted September 24, 2023 (edited) Dont think we should even let travel anyone who will be in the 1st xi for Birmingham as it basically distrupts 2 days of training...and they need every minute at Colney after yesterday Given Baath is cup tied and may get a chance ahead of Gibson for B'rum , i'll go ..(Sainz 45 mins) Long Fisher Warner Gibson McCallum Gibbs Lima Sainz/Springett Hernandez Placheta Hwang ...leaving the XI for Birmingham as Gunn Stacey Duffy Baath Giannoulis Forshaw McLean Fassnacht Sara Rowe Idah Edited September 24, 2023 by GJL Mid-Norfolk Canary 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

For the future 65 Posted September 25, 2023 Just send the under 21 and some of the under 18 as the first team will let us all down again as they want our good manager out. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BroadstairsR 2,179 Posted September 25, 2023 (edited) 4 hours ago, TheBaldOne66 said: Hwang should be sent back to Forest, absolute garbage Slightly premature but nevertheless it seems there are quite few who would opt for that were it possible. As we apparently have him locked for the season it is in our own interests not to be critical and wish the player well. We needed a Mbokani (I liked old Dieumerci) we got an Hwang. The former would have been perfect, the latter clearly needs time to shine Hopefully? Fingers crossed? Wishful thinking? It does seem that our team is to be primed for a blistering run-in in the second half of this season what with stalwarts coming back from significant lay-offs, players getting acclimatised and youngsters coming through. Good old Stuart, always thinking of the future. Hopefully? Fingers crossed? Wishful thinking? I advocate going ultra defensive and long ball 'til then. Forget all this slow messing around in midfield. Up and under should be the order of the day.. Get it up 'em. 😉😉 Edited September 25, 2023 by BroadstairsR Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Capt. Pants 4,252 Posted September 25, 2023 We're likely to make about 6 changes but not a complete starting XI. It will be against Fulham reserves so hopefully that rules out another 6 goal drenching. I'd be starting Hwang and basically flog him to death until we see some semblance of a professional footballer. If you look at our regular non starters/bench, the team pretty much picks itself really. Hopefully Sainz will also be involved. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

KiwiScot 1,450 Posted September 27, 2023 Basically pick a team who are not playing on Saturday or ones that "might" get a game then if they perform. Sainz in for a run out, Hwang because he clearly needs game time, with a u21 forward and idah on the bench. Long in just for game time, Gibson on so he doesn't play saturday. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I find it amusing that people can see him play for circa 100 mins and know he is garbage. He might well be, but give him a chance FFS.

Laughable It is for sure, but the manager led us to believe that he was an ample replacement for Action Man Sargent and he clearly isn't. It wouldn't take 100 minutes or even 50 minutes of playing time to assess that wild claim. I personally think that the player will eventually earn his corn at Carrow Road, but Josh Sargent he 'aint. Tonight will reveal more. In the meantime, the naivety of the manager in assuming we could keep up with Sargent style football without the man himself is quite disturbing.

I take it then that you agree with the manager who seems to think that the team can replicate its early season performances with Hwang replacing Sargent. That was my point ... which you seem to have totally missed. When I stated that I thought that the Korean would eventually earn his corn at Carrow Road it was really based upon his pedigree and the fact that Forest considered this sufficiently enhanced in order to fork out the best part of £4m for him to perform at Premier League level. It is, of course far too premature to assess what the player's true worth to City will be for the whole season but still not too early to 'judge' that Josh Sargent he 'aint.

Who knows, is my honest answer. My gripe was people suggesting he is garbage. I’m not disputing that he is not Sargent mark 2, he is clearly a different kind of player. It is worth pointing out that Sargent was playing with Barnes…who, I’m sure you will agree, offers a lot more in terms of support play, than Idah. His goal scoring record for Bordeaux was not prolific, but was pretty decent - so clearly has something to offer. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
