ErnestTurnip Posted September 4, 2019 Share Posted September 4, 2019 Brilliant turn out last night, really was a great feeling seeing them having to open ESL. Have really been impressed with Weir so far this season and the effort from the rest couldn't be questioned, not sure whether it was cramp or something else but Boon played the last half hour with one leg and still went up to take a penalty. Thought Senior did really well all night, another one (of many) who has grabbed the opportunity they have been given. Hand on heart I honestly don't see many, if any, getting another first team appearance this season outside of maybe the Leasing.com and barring injuries but they've been part of something special, something unique, and it's something they should be proud of forever.

Site Supporter Tonge moor green jacket Posted September 4, 2019 Site Supporter Share Posted September 4, 2019 Politic looks as capable going forward as anyone we had last season. Needs to strengthen yet, but he's got something about him and a bit of attitude too. At least on the bench. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ErnestTurnip Posted September 4, 2019 Share Posted September 4, 2019 Numbers wise some will have to be on the bench and the ones mentioned would probably be the most obvious ones, not only on ability but because that's where we'll need cover.

Ani Posted September 4, 2019 Share Posted September 4, 2019 We had 3 senior outfield players, signed 9 so that is 12. Kids will be on bench at least every game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ErnestTurnip Posted September 4, 2019 Share Posted September 4, 2019 Aye I reckon my maths had gone missing a touch when I said "if any" but 2 senior keepers and Earl to come back would take that to 15, and I'd be surprised if KH didn't get a couple of frees to fill the squad in so we might end up with a bit of competition for those remaining places.

A Cocky kid tries to score a penalty in that manner and misses deserves a shove in the chest imo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye. The Bradford lad's behaviour wasn't edifying, but neither was the penalty. No doubt some of the other young lads will rib him over it, and he'll learn.

Ruba Mustafa Posted September 4, 2019 Share Posted September 4, 2019 Great that the youngsters got a game. Think there will be another three players at least signed soon so prob the last chance of first team action for the vast majority. Fab experience for them and At least it's on their cv that they played for bwfc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have 14 senior players - 2 are keepers. So 12 senior outfield players. Even if we sign 3 more - and Hill says he won't immediately - those kids will still be in and around first team squad. And rightly so. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderators Casino Posted September 4, 2019 Moderators Share Posted September 4, 2019 i thought senior was going to miss out then glad he got a run at gillingham but then, last night, why has he waited so long for a go he looked as good as owt we have seen and not sure it was cocky, maybe he always does that and feels more comfortable their mon was a cock Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Site Supporter Tonge moor green jacket Posted September 4, 2019 Site Supporter Share Posted September 4, 2019 When he stood like that, who was confident he'd score? I wasn't and there were plenty around a bit bemused. Their lad was indeed a cock. If he's getting off on something like that he's not much ambition. The lads that took them conventionally put them away well. Even the crossbar one had beaten the keeper, just had a little too much on it.

fishbulb Posted September 4, 2019 Share Posted September 4, 2019 (edited) Agree with Cas. Dick move by their lad. Didn't detract too much from a good game and atmosphere. Couldn't have got much closer to winning it. Fair play to 'em all. Politic MOM for me. Edited September 4, 2019 by fishbulb Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What nonsense! i don't think it was meaningless at all. Neither I suspect, did the players, management and fans that attended. Hence the emotive behaviour.
