U23s away at Bolton Monday 15

[Ball_Sup (Phil)]

I'm off to the Lancashire FA County Ground in Leyland for the 7pm kick off.
In his pre-Derby Day Radio Sheffield interview, Wilder said Ched Evans would play 45 minutes.
Plus, I heard Evans asking for the postcode of the ground to be text to him, so he can make his own way there.....
I'll try to do team & goal updates on my Twitter

And, there'll be Beer, MicroPubs & some serious Cheddar capers on my Blog Report in due course.

Good stuff.

Any of the under 23’s look like they will be in and around the squad in the next year / 18 months or so?

Eastwood (as you know) is a capable back up keeper if Moore is injured or Blackman shipped back.
Slater (as you know) is kicking on the door for the minor first team games & the odd league game. But, with window signings, he's going down the pecking order.
Realistically. No. They're a great watch though. And, I watch them "in the moment", rather than judging them for the future.
Jordan Hallam will play league football. Just not for us.

Cheers.

Agree it’s best to watch for what they are now rather than generating unrealistic expectations. Unless their is an obvious standout at that level like Maguire / Walker / Brooks.

Seem to have read a few good things about the left back recently though.

You don't think Sam Graham or Tyler Smith will make the step up Phil?

 

[Boxer Blade]

Is the lad from man united (not Wilson) going to be playing

Welcome home “shitwasp”, glad to see that despite the cricket you managed to consume a fine selection of beers.
Leyland on a cold January night or Port Douglas, now let me think which one I’d choose.

 

[Pinchy]

We won’t know unless we givemarun. Givemallarun.

 

[Ball_Sup (Phil)]

Not in that "18 month" timeframe.
Both are very good prospects. Graham has the big robust physicality. He's a Man Boy - I said that about Maguire. He's comfortable in the middle or right of a back three. And in a back four. Reads it. Wins it. Charges it down. Time will tell.
Smith. I've blown hot & cold on. He's at the peak of his game now. 13 goals from 13 starts the last time the Stats were out.
I love 'em all to bits.
But, I think more versatile players, more strings to their bow, will have a better chance.
Ben Whiteman for eg.
That's why I like Hallam. Great with dead balls. Bit of pace. Fox in the box.
I won't knock Smith's scoring record. But, I worry he's too one dimension.
In other news. I'm usually wrong.

Surely even you're getting bored now?

No, the Boybanders, Cap-Doffers and Hoofers are depending on that, but they’ll be disappointed. I’ll see them all off. It’s my job.

He wasnt a boybander, cap-doffer or hoofer. He asked if Phil thought " any look like they will be in and around the squad in the next year / 18 months or so?"

Asking if any of your development squad will develop into first team players with 12-18 months is perfectly reasonable to anyone not blinded by their agenda.

They’d do better asking me.

Ironside.... Ironside....

Ironside.... Ironside....

"Alexa, will any of SUFC's U23s make the first team in the coming years?"

"The telephone number for your local Chinese takeaway is 0114 2363654"

"Alexa, you sill cow, I'm asking about United. The original one from Sheffield"

"Berlin is again the capital of Germany following the cold war period pre-reunification, when Bonn was the capital"

"Alexa, I'd get more sense out of Pinchy. Do you actually understand a word I say?"

"Cap doffing is an olde English gesture of friendship, particulalry where the doffer intends to show some submission"

 

[Chali 2na]

They’d do better asking me.

Ironside.... Ironside....

They certainly wouldn't.

Referencing one player, repeatedly, who left the club 3 years ago isn't a particularly persuasive argument either.

Sometimes it is like you are conversing in a foreign language.

You really are a superior being and I doff my syrrup to you.

I see the Bladey Tribute Act are still treading the boards.

Sorry to break it to you, but the fact that most academy players don't make it to the 1st team isn't ground breaking news.

Again, the poster was asking a perfectly reasonable question. You would know this if you stopped banging the same old drum.

Maybe his point is that there are plenty of kids who look good in the youth teams that don't kick on and therefore it's very difficult to predict which of those good ones, if any, will actually make it, hence it's slightly unfair on Phil to ask him to make predictions, particularly on a site where someone will drag up a post from five years ago just to discredit someone else.

I’ll give the poster and you the answer if you ask nicely enough. I delivered the verdict on the above tyros whilst many were still hollerin’ for game time and arrun.

If that was his point, that's what he should have said.

I'm ok thanks, im not sure you're really qualified to give an informed answer, based on your posts. I seem to remember a certain poster beong very critical about Fleck and Wilder before their arrivals.

Unless the poster you replied to was one of the people "hollerin'", then your response was irrelevant.

 

[8lade]

I wondered why everybody was acting like The Ghosts of Sleath were here then I realised I muted Pinchy a couple of weeks ago (only poster I've done it too).

You may want to reconsider; he's very amusing

Thanks. I've been right on top of my "side project" The Shitwasps since October. But, I'm now back Bladey Boybanding. We stuck our head in the Crown Casino Bar on Xmas Day, but we couldn't see you n Furphy in there this year....

 

[Wardy1889]

Ched’s Scored 5 minutes after coming on! Came on for Wright after 60 minutes, nice steady 30 minutes to begin with. Updates on Bolton twitter!

We were there in spirit, still have very fond memories of that trip even though it’s eleven years ago now. At least this time it was only four nil to the Aussies. Not seen any coverage either as it’s all been on BT Sport which I refuse to pay further money out for to watch.
Catch up with you soon for some of your stories.
