Playing the kids in the Premier League!?

[Lawrence]

CW has made too many changes over the last few games just to try to get the kids in the team. no need to play Lowe today (who did ok) at full back, just play Robinson (the natural replacement in the back 3) with Stevens and Baldock in there natural positions! no need to take Norwood out for Ampidu (who gave the ball away so many times) and then there’s playing Brewster for 90 minutes!? because he cost us 23mil?

All this because he CW feels obliged to play the kids and in doing so has disrupted the team massively, last seasons team formation would have given a better account of them-self’s today? We needed to buy a proven goal scorer In the window but we bought Brewster! a young kid who’s not played in the Premier League, what did we expect? No premier team can afford to play a player just to give him game time, I don’t think he contributed to the game at all, he didn’t make runs to take players away for others to benefit from, he didn’t make space for himself to get onto that pass or scoring chance basically he was poor. People talk about Sharp not now being good enough but he does everything that Brewster didn’t do today. I’m not saying play Sharpe but we just can’t afford to be sentimental and keep playing kids!

 

[Headshrinker]

Yeah, put Robinson in and it is a 3-0 win!

 

[Foxy]

A short while ago, he was criticised for not bringing them straight into the side

 

[AdamSufc1997]

Robinson is league 1 level plus he isn't a cb

 

[metalblade]

Robinson costs a goal per game

 

[Yogi]

Bit harsh solid utility player giving us flexibility from the bench but starting level player he ain’t

Sharp would have been as frustrated as Brewster and McBurnie would have been today.
As for Sharpe........

Don’t agree with you one single bit. The regular team wasn’t working, see back end of last season and beginning of this one.

Clearly whatever team we field, isn’t fucking good enough for PL football and that’s that.

 

[1987]

A post so out of touch it genuinely baffles me.

Its like this is the first game of the season youve seen, and as for being sentimental, i think you are being bud.

 

[Lawrence]

OK Robinson would not be ideal? or Jags not ideal? but not doing so is disrupting the rolls of the wingbacks.
Basically I’m saying can we afford to play so many kids and disrupt the team of last season?

But what some are saying is that the players of last season aren’t good enough?

 

[Birley Blade]

On my life, I’d rather stand a cardboard cutout on the edge of the box, then let Phil Jagielka pull on a Sheffield United shirt ever again for as long as I live.

In terms of kids playing the only one to consistently play is Ramsdale the others who have predominantly played have been established first team regulars or established bench/cover players. One of those bench player Robinson has at this point in time comprehensively played himself out of starting contention therefore Stevens has to be moved inside as he’s the only option other than Robinson. Stevens who’s form wasn’t particularly excellent prior to that anyway and was under significant pressure from Lowe for his spot anyway. Lowe has looked solid since coming in an will hopefully grow into the role. Ampadu has been used to plug gaps in the back 3 when they have happened due to injury and suspension so wasn’t a first 11 player and then in the last two games has been used in midfield as wilder looks for a combination that works there without fleck. Other than that the kids have hardly played And I’m struggling to see the evidence for your point.

We’re a side in transition

 

[Kev Gee]

Robinson?

Lol!!

Norwood had a shocker 2nd half against Fulham, Ampadu replaced him against Liverpool and had a really good game. Therefore surely it made sense to keep Ampadu in.

 

[Houston_Blade]

Lowe played well, it also meant that Stevens was better than he’s been most of the season. Brewster had zero service. Ampadu did ok but played against Silva and De Bruyne so not sure he could have done much more.

Apart from that you make a good point.

Not by those with sense.

Sharp would have been as frustrated as Brewster and McBurnie would have been today.

I don't care if Sharp does nothing all game (but he would see Wolves) as long as he has a decent effort at any chances he gets and that is our big problem right now, the few chances we get not even needing the keeper to twitch to prevent a goal.

Fires three rounds a minute in any weather does dick sharpe no service required

 

[Sean Thornton]

Shearer and Lineker both agree that the strikers got next to no service today and explained why with highlights.

I think the time is right to start introducing some kids onto the pitch, not necessarily in a starting position, although you could make the the case for anybody starting ahead of lundstam, what the hell is there to lose, we've been relegated already so why not have some energy, also if these players get some premier league time they'll get a huge confidence boost ready for next season

Agreed points don’t matter now.

 

[MalmoBlade]

At which point (ie at which age) do we decide my heroes Sharp and Didsy aren't actually the future any more?

 

[JPSharpy93]

No idea who this Ndiaye fella is but if he’s good enough to make the squad then why not throw him on for the last 20 minutes.

 

[Bert]

An ideal time for youngsters. We are down and no crowds to get on their backs so very little pressure.

If Wilder doesn't do it now he's a fool.

 

[Bobby b]

Regardless of what your thoughts are, sharp and mcgoldrick may have something left at the present, but they certainly aren't the future, any success we may have is going to happen in the future. As regards age there isnt one, personally I'd play a toddler instead of lundstam

Great point, theres no crowd, their heads wont drop if they attempt something that doesn't come off, if we lose 4 nil what's it fucking matter, theres another thread asking for positives, the current team aren't really providing any

 

[Yogi]

I think now. I’m not saying their not great players still but we should be planning and recruiting for a future without either of them that way anything we get from them in the later stage of their career is a bonus not a necessity when at this stage any injury or off season could be their last.

 

[Bruce Wayne]

On my life, I’d rather stand a cardboard cutout on the edge of the box, then let Phil Jagielka pull on a Sheffield United shirt ever again for as long as I live.

The same Jags that was outstanding at Old Trafford and got MOTM? The same Jags that was wrongly sent off the other night?

He's 38 and is clearly not intended to play every game but I think your comments are both wrong and disrespectful regarding one of the best defenders the EPL has seen over the past 15 years.

 

[robbiez666]

I don't think bringing the kids in now is a good idea. We have enough players who might be ruined.

They're just too far off the first team. I also doubt getting stuffed for the last 10 games of the PL will do us any good.

I do think we need to be starting Bogle, Lowe, McBurnie, Brewster given they're the future.

I would only on the basis that one of the youngsters is way above their peers. Not sure that any are that good?
