First team squad new players

[ozleeds]

My statements (in post #127 on this thread) regarding the "past history" of those players were based on fact, their ability to get game time for the clubs they were signed or loaned to, and their ability to deliver in whatever role in the teams they were playing for. I expressed an opinion regarding all, and Piroe was most definitely the stand-out exception.

From the little I have been able to watch, Ampadu does seem to be fitting in well, good on him, but for the rest, including Rodon, I still think the jury is out (and it looks like we won't be seeing Spence playing anywhere any time soon, another investment in a crock?)

I give up on the do-gooders who don't have the balls to comment prior only after and then they have a go after a fact lol.
We play 2 decent teams now let's see how we go win both and I'll shut up.
What happened to Spence anyway he only played like 10 minutes! Did he get injured playing for his country?

If I'm reading this coach correctly...

He is playing to win. He's putting out who he thinks can best do that. I don't think he's going to be one of those that "rests" players because he's worried about the season. I also don't think Bampuff, Firpo, Joseph, Schack, Cooper or Darlow are going to be in the lineup while we are winning games 3-0 at places like the Den.

we looked good and comfortable doing it and should win at Hull on Wed. Maybe with the same lineup.

If you want results I can give you plenty. I didn't say anything about not deserving or not playing well I was just disappointed especially for shak. If you want facts on the match Gnonto and Summer provided nothing Ayling was horrible and meslier every time the ball went in I ran to the toilet.
Wrong result to try prove a point my arse what division we in again me forgets.

Understand your point...and Shack did do well. But you seem 100% certain that playing all of our home grown youngsters together all the time was going to be our saviour. Do you really think they would have kept us in the Premier League?

Was in our previous game Oz - he took a knock late on

And if that is in reference to me...I'm certainly not jumping on the bandwagon of excitement because of that win. Plenty of ground to make up yet. Unlike you and your mate, I just prefer to see if some can show their wares before running them down "prior"...

Just read he did it at training someone tackled him propably Ayling so he could keep his spot. Shame he looked really good in those 10 minutes.

No, but it didn't help did it? At least they could have had some proper experience. I never said they should all play at once. I would have been happy with Creswell dramah and gray and like shak showed good form in every game he has played why drop the kid?
No, I refer to all doo-gooders as us bad-gooders are a few lol
Don't get me wrong the team is going okay and all the improvement has come from the new guys it would have been nice to blend in the new guys with the younger players rather than the has-beens that got us relegated.

Don't be too harsh on the so-called "do-gooders", I suspect like us they have LUFCs best interests at heart, we just show it in different ways (prevention being better than cure! ). As it is, there would seem to be some merit in one or two of the newcomers, Amapadu especially, but lets see how both new and old perform over the next 3 - 5 games (not 24!), and then we can celebrate if all is good (and admit we were wrong if thats the case)

Agree with that. Too early to acclaim them as top notch without showing some consistant performances. Likewise as writing them off too early. A couple do look likely types, and we just keep our fingers crossed.

To be honest mate, there wasn't many from last year's squad that actually started against Millwall. Most are gone....so that's a positive! 👍
