oafcprozac Posted February 9, 2011 Share Posted February 9, 2011 (edited) Went to watch the reserves at Stalyegas this afternoon. An awful game saw us nick it 1-0 with a late header by James Tarkowski from a set-piece. Dean Brill - Not much to do, ok handling made one save but rather than getting his hands to it, it sort of hit him. Very vocal, if only he good save shots with his gob! - 6 Callum O'Connor - A couple of quite impressive runs, but nothing else. Subbed at half-time, not really any better than what we have - 6 Rod McDonald - Dominant in the air, a bit of a hoofer so if neededwill fit in well - 7 James Tarkowski - Again decent in the air, tries to play football and popped up with the winner - 7 Greg Kidd - A late inclusion and was fairly steady Connor Hughes - Looked our main attacking threat, got a cynical elbow in the face that Ray Putterill should have walked for - 7 Medi Abalimba (Capt) - You lot are gonna love this guy, played in the holding role and ran the game for us. Strong in the tackle, skilful and vocal beyond his tender years. Looks like we finally have proper competition in midfield - 8 MOM Mohammed Tafer - He ticked over, was ok with the short stuff but no range of passing and blew hot and cold in the tackle. Not worth another look. - 6 Mark Redshaw - A smaller version of Wolfy, offered nothing. Far too lightweight - 5 Simon Whalley - This guy used to be a good player, he looked unfit and way off the pace and offered very little - 5 Lewis Alessdandra - Some good touches and lots of skilful running with the ball, but as usual an unwillingness to shoot means he looses it or the move breaks down - 6 Very excited about Abalimba, he looks a helluva prospect….

oafcprozac Posted February 9, 2011 Author Share Posted February 9, 2011 (edited) a threat to furman or stephens ? Bit hard to tell after one reserve game, but he looks a player no doubt about it…and if needed he'll do a good job. His work ethic even in a reserve game was impressive.

Lee Sinnott Posted February 9, 2011 Share Posted February 9, 2011 Why is Putteril only in their ressies? He tore us apart earlier in the season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oafcprozac Posted February 9, 2011 Author Share Posted February 9, 2011 Why is Putteril only in their ressies? He tore us apart earlier in the season. Not sure, he only played half a game - so whether he's coming back from injury? Andy Parkinson played for them too - he was decent when he played for the Bin Dippers about ten years ago...

Also the same guy who elbowed young Connor Hughes yesterday, Dux wasn't impressed and Abalimba was right in there and it continued whilst they were going down the tunnel. I let him know in no uncertain terms he wasn't as big and brave against M'Voto…. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oafcprozac Posted February 10, 2011 Author Share Posted February 10, 2011 England material prozac ?...they're looking for someone of that ilk. I don't get carried away with players usually, Morais took a good while to win me over but this lad (Abalimba) has summat about him and to stand out in that turgid affair yesterday was no mean feat - he stood out a mile. I'd say Furman and Stephens have competition, more so Furman as he played in the holding role but i'm led to believe that he is equally at home in Stephens box to box role, I look forward to seeing him a bit further forward...

To be fair I've not really taken an interest in Wilshire, but there were 22 players on that pitch yesterday and he was head and shoulders above them in ability if not height...
