Adams gets teams promoted, I think if he sees any weak links he will make a change.

 

Well done Finn. Been on the bench a couple of times and now played the full 90. Excellent for him.

 

Sat is the time for him to start again. Never let anyone down before. Threlkeld is a player Adams knows from Plymouth but based on his City performances he’s hardly nailed the RB spot down.

 

The central midfield as it stands isn't good enough and needs strengthening in January.

 

Agree entirely.
I know it doesn’t matter how we score our goals and a 30 yarder screamer scores the same amount as a 1 foot tap in but can anybody realistically see us scoring a goal like they scored yesterday where a player runs from his own half completely unchallenged?
Or the Forest green equaliser where the player again runs from his own half and apart from a lazy lunge from Paudie is relatively untouched.
Last week at Port vale Vernam fresh airs one in their box and 30 seconds later it’s in our net.
Apart from Sutton who gives us a bit of forward momentum from midfield who else has got any pace at all?

 

To me FCD feels out of position at RB, he just looks like a CB to me. He’s not fast or agile enough for a modern full back and can’t cross or pass. He may improve but he should have been sent off yesterday, Threlkeld also has played a lot of his career in midfield and now people are clamouring for Foulds to play out of position there on 45 minutes of football. Crazy idea I know but probably time to bring in an actual specialist RB?

 

When we're playing at home should we be pleased that we stop the opposition from playing?

You make it sound like we're scrapping for points in a relegation battle.

 

Never showed me anything to suggest he had it at this level.

 

I didn't realise he was still on our books to be honest.

Possibly end up somewhere like Hartlepool or York next season. Cannot see him being offered a new contract here

 

Still trains with the first team squad through the week

 

He’s one of our own. Give him a year deal and see if he’s up to league football next season

 

What position did he play in the youth team? He's been fine at right back but looks more of a centre back sometimes. I'm just wondering if he's been shoe horned in there due to Hossanahs injury or if he is actually a natural right back.

 

Good on him. Solid defensively, needs to improve with his use of the ball - but our young players have acquitted themselves very well in a very difficult set of circumstances. One for the future!

 

I agree. He doesn't quite have the speed off the mark that a right/left back needs and hence he's been caught out a couple of times but positioning wise he's been good. Also doesn't look as comfortable going forwards which would also hint at more of a centre back. Not knocking the lad, he's done well! Just feel he could be a better fit centrally.

 

This is just what we need bringing young lads through, good for the future. Just need to get rid of the dross.
Hopefully we can “ Move on up “ like Curtis Mayfield stated
Just move on up

Be factual Fordy. French has never really been 1st Team has he ?

 

A great motivation for lads in the youth team too - see the likes of Staunton and FCD getting games and pro contracts, has to be a great incentive.

 

Great prospect and well deserved based on his performances this season

 

Whatever is natural position is I personally have been impressed with his attitude and contribution so far. In one of the recent games he struggled early on but didn't buckle, he got to grips with the situation and then looked quite composed. Plus having watched the game back he actually had two players to mark early on.
