Off to Stocksbridge to watch our Under 23s play Millwall this afternoon. Will be a good test as Millwall are leading the Southern section. So get out the bus pass and watch our youngsters for free, and a free teamsheet as well

Is it a 1pm kick-off? Might head up since I've got the week off.

I would not worry too much about the Dingles up there , when they come out with their white hoods and pitch forks , they can run anyone out of town . Touch one and you touch them all .
 
Jake Wright should never have been sent off,however the Millwall 5 should have been sent off for a horror tackle on Jack Brooks
 
Thought we missed a chance to take 3 points from today's game 2nd half for 25 minutes was all one way traffic but we semt to lose momentum with the changes we made, thought both Reed and Slater particularly 2nd half were running the show suprised Slater came off.

Disagree Fred - Wright tried to push the fella in the face, missed, but got a good push into the side of his head. He should have gone straight Red for that. Then he had the chance to calm himself down before his 2nd Yellow. Brainless.

Anyway - more of that bollox, match report, verdict on the three trialists, latest league standings after tonight's results, Beer - all on the Blog.

You Lucky People.

good report from phil. my man jake wright should have gone with the millwall lad but i said that he would go at some time didn't think it would be so soon. i like Wright, he is a big part otf how this team performs but he needs to cool it a bit. thought the coaches should have been on his case as soon as he got his first yellow. A hard game but when Brooks and Mallon got a bit of space in the second half i thought we would nick it. All in all a good point against a strong opponent. Things are getting tight at the top of this league but it must be difficult to get consistent when we need to incorporate so many trialists

Regarding the trialists i thought Johnson looked disinterested even before he got a knock. Even after I would have expected him to show that he wanted to play for us. We looked better after he came off. Regarding the two Centre Backs the one in the middle looked reasonable but still no evidence of ability to play out from the back or switch play. The other lad was not up as a defending player and I would wonder how he would cope with our prefered system of 3 at the back. Don't envy the men who will try and find players better than the ones we are releasing

Wasn't aware Jake had got a yellow for that incident,we were stood down near the bottom goal when that happened,his style is very physical,he will learn to become more streetwise so to speak,he should watch old videos of Mark Hughes and how he went about his business

totally agree and taking a look at Alan Shearer wouldn't do him any harm either. Controlled agression they call it
 



Jake Wright Jnr - what works for him, also works against him. We often say that younger players are not ready to step up, because they would be like "boys against men", and need to go and toughen up first. Well, Jake Wright Jnr is almost the opposite, I watched him when on loan at Hallam and I watched him play against Hallam in SUFC colours, he does not shy from any challenge or physical confrontation and really goes full blooded into the tackle. He is not the finished article by any stretch, but I feel that if he had been in the first team, on the field when Walsall beat us 4-1 at their place, he would have stood up and be counted and we would not have been knocked off the ball as much.

When our U23's played Reading at BDTBL (3-3 finish), some of the Reading defenders kicked lumps out of Jake Wright but he just kept getting back up. At one point he took a big elbow to the back of the head, while jumping for the ball, which would have taken some of our first team players out, but he just got up, rubbed his head, moaned to the ref and then carried on.

This hard-nut, aggressive style will also cause yellow and red cards, an unfortunate by-product of being an old-school throwback to players of the 60's and 70's, not like some of the cotton wool softies we see on the pitch in the modern game.

Oh, and he can score goals as well.

Every aspect of his game is exactly how you call it.

My point would be at 20 years old he is has played enough to understand when to leave well alone.

If CW had been watching and thank god for Jake he wasn't, he would have gone ballistic. Just as we go a man up with 55 minutes to play he lunges at a defender.
For what its worth i am a fan of the lad, its hard to see how he can push his way into the first team though.

Mirror my thoughts on the young lad,good post that,I'm also a big fan of Jake,a physical player such as Jake is a rarity in the sanitised world of Academy football

Won't disagree with you larky, as you watch way more academy football than me, but I will say that I am sure I was prone to hot-headed outbursts at 20.

While I probably thought I was a grown up at that age, I am sure (looking back) it was not the case.

Yes he has a lot to learn, but for me, having a physical player is no bad thing. I agree with you, it would be tough to see how he gets in to the first team. When players like Lavery only make the bench, you know how tough it would be.

At 20 years of age he really needs to go out on loan, League 2 ideally (or high end National League).
 
He has indeed. But doing it again and scoring some goals elsewhere at a decent level is likely the only way he's going to get a chance for us I think.

Not saying that at 20 he's not going to make it for us (look at Lowton for example, 21 at the time?) but time is running out for him.

Lowton is a great case in point. Shows how much luck has to do with a player's career. Almost released and if Blackwell had been capable of recruiting a right back before the start of the season he might not have got a look in. Now he's playing in the PL.
ironically, the better the first team squad is, the less we need the academy players.

I hope the board, CW and Binnion have a sit down at some point in the close season and work out what our strategy is for our youth players, how we bring them on and what our actual aims are. From the outside, it looks a bit muddled and not particularly well planned.

Takes me back to doc Pace who gave it and took it in equal measure.
Costa of Chelsea is a modern day version, a mardy arse but a nightmare to play against,I'm sure
Wilder will have noticed his aggressive attitude,just needs harnessing to his goalscoring ability.
It will come with experience and maturity
 
Dronfield your Marital home ,was it Kenworthy Road ? locally known as hell fire pass ,made Aleppo look like a nice place to live .

I so agree with you and Jake is a big part of this team. Unfortunately he will need to learn a bit of control. In today's climate the first yellow is easy to get but the second normally needs to be more serious. On Monday he went flying in just a few minutes after his yellow and the big Centre Back made a dramatic meal of it. He had to go in fact when he got the first I said he would get sent off I just did not think it would be so soon. Jake will be a great fans Centre and a little control will seal his future.I'd love to see him in red and white at the Lane, I'd even pay for that.
