CONFIRMED Ryan One

[Tom Bott]

Well some one has to take the blame for where we are at the minute.

Difficult time for the Wilder out brigade, scapegoat required.

 

[Bladesthorpe]

I like them, I like all the young players and am always positive about them, but what’s that got to do with this?

We are talking about a moron here, you, writing off a 18 year old kid after his very first start. Not only writing him off but claiming he’s only good enough for non league. This is a teenage kid playing for the team you say you support yet you have gone in two footed on the kid and wanting him gone to the conference. Absolutely pathetic from a grown man.

Would love him to become a top player for us but sadly he shows no signs of being one even at 18. When you have been fortunate enough as I have to have seen Mick Jones, BIrchenall, Badger and Woodward, Walker, Mcguire and others come through as 18yr olds then you don't get to carried away with a lad that looks out of his depth.

 

[Yewsman]

Very difficult for an 18yr old lad to come in at the top of the Championship in the position of lone striker , where he is bound to be under the microscope.
Like Jebbo & Osula , he has a promising physique but he's still a boy compared to the men at this level.
One thing I was disappointed in was his work out of possession - he only had to look at the hard yards put in by O'Hare & Hamer in the pressing today to get an idea of what's required.
At times they were running their blood to water and he was trotting slowly across the line , leaving his man completely open for a pass to break the press. I was shouting "stick to your man !" (usually their no.6).
He had one break forward towards the kop when he was put in beautifully but his first touch was poor and he lost it.
If controlled , he was in on goal.
It shows how threadbare we are that he is getting a start because he's nowhere near being ready.
So it's far too early to make any judgement and he needs to play a lot more football and learn the game before being the lone striker of a club hoping for autos.

I too have felt his work rate is disappointing (certainly compared with O’Hare and Hamer) but maybe that’s due to lack of match fitness and tender age. However as pointed out he did chase down one ball over the top and after tangling with the Argyle defender won a corner. It was from that career that the ball was headed out and fell to Hamer who scored the first goal. That ones down to One.

 

[finlaytheblade]

I’ve not seen him for the 21’s, but when he’s come on as sub, he always looks absolutely knackered, after about ten minutes.

He undoubtedly has the base physicality required to develop into a top player, but does he have the necessary desire and application to do so? I thought he was also mostly ineffective today and has a very languid style, which could easily be misinterpreted as a lack of effort? He is currently miles off being a Championship striker, which is perfectly understandable given his age. In my opinion, he would definitely benefit from a loan to National league or League 2, if he can’t hold down a regular starting berth at that level now, he probably isn’t going to make the move up to the Championship in the future.

He's a boy in a man's body at present needs time to mature .Very nieve as yet ! find some aggression which I think will come .
He is what I call a gentle giant with his 6ft 5 inch !

 

[1889]

Is there something wrong with you?

A young 18 year old lad starting his first game for us and you have not only written him off already but want him to fuck off to the conference as that’s his level? After his very first start!!

Honestly this place is going to the fucking dogs, full of absolute morons these days.

I think that’s a slight over reaction HarryHaslam ,no one is writing him off.

The National League or League 2 is a great level for an 18 yr old lad to make the first steps towards the transition from the sterile world of academy football to the harsh and sometimes brutal reality of the men’s game.
It’s by no means a slur to suggest that route as being the next stage of his development. He’s not ready for the Championship at 18, but very few are.

Bet you didn’t say that against Bristol didn’t look out of his depth then

I’ve not seen one post today getting carried away. Some believe he’s a very good prospect me included. Some believe he’s not ready and needs a loan, nothing wrong with that opinion. Then there is you with your opinion which was a disgrace tbh and you have totally written him off as a non league player.

Football players not only read all the comments on Twitter but they read forums, as do their families. Ryan has made a monumental career milestone today his very first start at such a young age, guaranteed he will have been on here proud as punch reading about himself and what we think and there’s you wanting him gone and to his level, the conference. That is some way to support a young kid who at that age confidence is massive.

There is some young players in the 23s and have been in and around the squad who I think will not make it but I wouldn’t dream of slaughtering them on here so I’d never say it. When it comes to the young lads (17-21) if you haven’t got anything positive to say it’s best to say nothing at all.

 

[Guesty]

He was excellent for about 20 minutes but seemed to run out of steam thereafter. Presumably that stamina will come as he develops.

Everyone to their own opinion, but you’re showing your age with that viewpoint.

 

[FinchleyBlade]

Why do people keep saying he's fast? Because he's young and black? He really isn't particularly quick at all from what I've seen of him. Pace isn't his strength.

He is rapid

 

[NerdyBlade]

Hope he does, takes off to his level. Conference.

Tell you what - guarantee you wouldn't last 5 minutes in the conference, let alone start a championship game.

Absolutely ludicrous post from someone that's just painted "wanker" on their own forehead trying to be edgy.

Neither was Berge unless you know his stats from inside the club

Best of the evening. Take a bow.

 

[robbiez666]

I'm pretty sure if we didn't have an idiot chairman and actually signed enough players then One would have been out on loan to a conference side. He's clearly not ready. Not his fault.

So not only have you cast incorrect aspersions about One, you've gone after the chairman too!

Fucking hell some people on here don't deserve it as good as we have it

 

[grena blade]

To me he's got a lot going for him only 18 and already looks physically strong but he looked dead on his feat after 30 mins and that just goes to show what a step up it is from under 21 to championship football but the potential is definitely there hence why he got a 5yr contract

 

[robbiez666]

Go on, where would he have gone on loan to?

 

[loyalblade95]

Did he look out of his depth, yes in a way that most 18 year olds in their first season of playing in the senior team often do.

Is he quick, I don't think he's rapid but he's quick for his size and build, just not as quick as the likes of Brewster and Campbell who have got a bit of pace about them.

Would it be better to send him out on loan, if we can find the right level for him yes but he needs to get used to the required fitness levels and speed needed for consistent first team football.

 

[SwissBlade]

I don’t think he looked out of his depth, he ran them ragged at times, the chasing down the full back for what was really a lost cause was excellent.

The chance he had at the end of the half which he should’ve just smashed he should’ve done better, but it wasn’t unforgivable.

Needs a bit more confidence which can only come from playing at this level against players of this level. I see no sense to send him on loan when we’ll need every squad player until the end of the season. Perhaps a loan in the championship next season would be good if we do go up

 

[MobileBlade]

Gilchrist should have played more balls into that right hand channel for One instead of balls directly to him that weren't particularly accurate.

He can be a bloody nuisance and balls down those channels gives him the opportunity of causing defenders problems. He got clattered by one of their defenders which the referee chose to ignore.

It was chasing down one of those that was a bit of a lost cause that won the corner from which we scored the first goal.

 

[mattbianco1]

Harsh on Brewster not to start on Saturday after he played and scored. Not sure how One got the nod ahead of him.

We don't want to break players who have just come back from injury...

I agree with most of your comments but these young lads will need to learn that criticism in the public forum arena is never far away .I am sure they get many a bollocking behind closed doors and that they are nurtured in dealing with and being prepared for public criticism, as much as they are for adulation. These young prospects aren't under 10's they are on a tread mill to men's professional football and have passed many gruelling age groups to get this far.
You step into the arena then you take what they throw at you if you cant deal with it then you aren't going to be strong enough to make a career at the highest level.
Yes its harsh its cruel but its the real world we live in. More today than ever before, people can (and are entitled to) express their opinion to the masses.

 

[FriethBlade]

This lad has got every chance of making it but I suspect the club may see a bit of Will Osula about him. Given his physique and development at the age of 18 he won't have to do very much at all to get the bids coming in from the PL.

If we weren't short up front anyway, never mind the injuries, he'd be being brought along a little slower. It's hard to play as a lone striker at 18 in the Championship so he's learning in the job and it's not surprising he's struggling. I suspect that if we can get a couple of incomings up front in January he goes on loan but I wouldn't like to guess as to which level

 

[LurkerBladeS2]

Is he that far behind Osula who just went to Newcastle for £15m?

Is he that far behind Jebbo who we dumped?

He's 18 and ALREADY scored at a lower level against men (albeit way lower), the rest will take time.

90% of the time you can tell at 18/19 if they're going to become a top player or not. We all saw Jagielka, Walker, Brooks etc at a young age and it was obvious they would make it. I don't see that in One, Osula or Jebbison. All very average players to my eye.

 

[Lucky1979]

What a ridiculous post.

He's 18 and was leading the line on his own today against far more experienced players. Despite that he still kept them honest.

We have had far worse debuts from supposedly "seasoned" players and he has hardly looked out of place whenever else he has played.

He also won the corner that lead to the first goal

 

[SUFCinks]

I must say i didn’t think he was good enough for the first 11 for a long time but i’ve been pleasantly surprised with a few parts of his play. The fake shot where he cut back inside and hit the post was a nice and composed moment. He still has lots more to develop but I don’t think he’s a write off. Not a world beater yet but certainly enough that he could become good.
