Wallace looked very good for 50 mins today then got more off the pace from then on.
I like him as a player but he just can not get fit.....
Tough tough game today against a
vastly more experienced side.
With the young age of our U23s it will be a very up and down season. Some very good results and some poor ones.
This is obviously how the club want to try and bring some of these lads on quicker. It also saves the club a fortune on 2nd and third year pros who will never break in the first.
Go on Pinchy. Have a go and have a run out to a 23s game you deserve it....
I think I addressed the fact that his performances haven't been as glittering as some make out and therefore its also footballing ability that would prevent him being a top flight footballer.
Sadly I think James is destined for the shadows and a what might have been existance. Every now and then a clearly talented footballer just can`t avoid a constant stream of injuries,with each one making a recovery to sustained fitness harder.
Jack Wilshire is somewhat similar,as is Aaron Ramsay and Oxlade Chamberlain.

Odd. United got mullered down our right, their left. All the goals, second half, effectively swept in from that side. Here’s a thing I feel I’ve noticed last two games. Travis Binnion looks to me like he’s trying to get them to play the same “style” as the First Team. He’s certainly on at the midfield & forwards to press onto their opponents. Badger. Badger. Badger. And, at times, it looks a bit three at the back with the man wide right (ala Freeman) getting forward. And, so, we got mullered down that side.
It didn’t work for me. Jo Cummings started in that nominal right back spot. He’s more often seen at centre back. Alex Brown was left back, Sam Graham & Callum Semple as CBs. At the beginning of the second half, due to right side mullering, Cummings nipped inside & Sam Graham had a stint out there. It all seemed very disruptive. Maybe they could/should have steadied the ship with a more conventional back four. For George Long goal kicks, Cummings (as right back) pushed way up the right touchline. With Trialist Cameron Stewart sitting in deep to cover him.
Charlton would just deal with it, get it forward down their left, our right. Cummings & Stewart would then struggle to get back. I was baffled by it for a bit.
Cameron Stewart
I felt all that made it a bit difficult for Stewart. Wilder & Knill turned up just a little bit after kick off. Stewart didn’t impress AGAIN for me. He looked a bit fitter/sharper than last week. But, he wasn’t busy, wasn’t creative & was getting caught out by this mad right back thing. He ran a few channels into blind alleys. And, once in the first half, he gave the ball away & Charlton should have taken the lead from it. He wasn’t awful, by any means. But, anonymous at times.
Set up wide right midfield. Drifted forward at times.
It was a poor lacking lustre show by the U23s anyway. Nobody really got anything going for Utd. Stewart just blended in with the rest of them. Me, I’m not seeing it.
James Wallace
You know. By a distance the most comfortable player out there for SUFC. Great first touch. Ball under control. Puts himself in. Won’t be out muscled. Wins his headers. Disappointingly, not particularly incisive nor creative. But, got football written all over him. We all know the jokes. “By the time you are reading this Tweet that James Wallace is playing, he’ll be off injured”. Looked to be blowing a bit from 75 onwards. Stopped tracking. But, lasted the full 90. If there is a way. He’d be a great asset to the First Team Squad. Maybe it’s all to do with his Pay Up. Everyone assumes he’s playing to attract someone's eye. He’d be a great asset - if……
It's not surprising he was off the pace after 50 min Lark, y he's hardly played a game for more than 12 months,what I like about your comments are ! he was good for 50 minutes.That tells me he's still got the abilities required just short of the stamina required for 90 min,this is the crucial factor ,can he get theWallace looked very good for 50 mins today then got more off the pace from then on.

He's no where near 1st team level of fitness as today's 23s game showed (not even got a squad No yet) needs time to build up his fitness when that's acheave (fingers crossed ) he might get the chance at 1st team level,but in my opinion he's some way off that at present.Well he might get a chance with the first team squad with Basham out for a few games if he is fit.
On his injuries you never know with these things - Remember Chris Armstrong was offered an insurance payout after horrific injury trouble but battled his way back to forge a good career at a decent level for us and Reading. Unfortunately for James it just seems like his body has let him down and it seems to be a consistent string of similar injuries - that there doesn't appear any way to stop. We've tried taking it slow etc

extra fitness required that is the question and can he steer clear of niggling injuries.I for one and hopefully every other blade will be right behind him as he fights for his career which is definitely on the line.
Stewart was not great .............. Looks the part but just not quite good enough IMOHow did Stewart do?
