Boyyou Posted September 2, 2022 Share Posted September 2, 2022 Can only presume we won't be seeing Maynard, Hogan, Sutton or Angol any time soon, due to injury. A sending off or another injury would leave us very thin on the ground in defence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

daniel Posted September 2, 2022 Share Posted September 2, 2022 I’ve read we’ve had more injuries in training this week, all defenders. Not sure if thats true, or who, but if it is true then it would make some more sense as to why all the defenders. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yarddog73 Posted September 2, 2022 Share Posted September 2, 2022 If David Okagbue is listed as 6ft tall Wellens must be about the same height as Harry Vaughan, judged by the picture of the two of them stood with their backs to us? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BP1960 Posted September 2, 2022 Share Posted September 2, 2022 David Okagbue: Big, commanding centre half from Dublin who joined us in the summer. Strong in the air and has good pace and athleticism. Developing and progressing all the time technically and tactically. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think this makes common sense. We've only got two CBs. Added to the fact that Clarke has been poor this season, and I can fully understand why he's brought these two in. Wellens and Mitchell could prove a very useful couple of full-backs. We still need pace and goals upfront. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Played a lot for youth in midfield but moved to full back for under 23's. Good cross in him so maybe the wingback that Shez has been searching for ?

If Wellens is rated by United he's gonna be decent. Also less physical as a wingback than central midfield so more suited than Vaughan. I'm happy to give him a go and see how he does. I'd also we happy to give Harry a start, but not tomorrow. Still wish we had signed a forward though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still wish we had signed a forward though He wouldn’t be coming to us London if he was highly rated by United. I want our young players to be given preference over loan youngsters. We can make money from our players, we can’t from loans. To me, any manager of a lower league/national league side is duty bound to give them a go (even if it’s regular minutes, rather than starting every week) if they’re good enough. Sadly to many managers (including Shez) don’t see the bigger picture, or are willing to put academy lads over their own signings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is possible that Sheridan is bringing Vaughan along slowly because he believes it is the right approach for the lad. And maybe the two in charge of the Academy (Youth Team Manager, Louis Dean and Head of Coaching, Craig Large) are not pushing any of the youth as they don’t believe that they are ready? What I would like to know is if Sheridan and Wright do go and look at the Academy lads for themselves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wardie Posted September 2, 2022 Share Posted September 2, 2022 I remember when Latics used to only sign midfielders. Next season, it may be only strikers. There has to be some rationale for the signing of more defenders, I just wish there was more transparency regarding our own youth set-up and assessments. I understand the desire not to give too much away before the game tomorrow if these two are to cover injuries. Wellens could be a good recruit, I've never heard of Okagbue.

Come on BD, he’s hardly had a sniff. If Shez had given him the odd start or a half then I’d agree he’s brining him through slowly. (Which is what you want) But that isn’t the case. The only reason I can think of, is that he doesn’t want to bring him into a struggling side- which puts a lot of pressure on him to perform. But A, If you’re good enough you’re old enough, And B, I think I’m being massively generous to Shez by suggesting that. I just think Shez wants experience.
