    He could be quite good on the ball too. Yeah 07/08 was his most consistent for sure.
  • Borninthe80ts replied to the thread Elyh Harrison.
    The best game I’ve seen him have for the club. At times his passes down the middle have me on edge but if he gets the balance right it will be an asset for the team he eventually plays for. Wonder if we may see him get a loan half way through...
  • I’d have to concur with this assessment. He has come in for some undue criticism I think as a lot of the squad has played well thus people need someone to critique. The multiple positions he plays shows he has a good base level and is a team...
  • Borninthe80ts replied to the thread Wes Brown interview.
    I remember hearing/reading that Fergie and some others viewed him as being better than Rio when he was at his best. I’m not sure about that overall but there was a time when there levels were super close. If not for injuries he should have got...
  • I’ve been singing Devaney’s praises for a while for this exact reason. Because the season has gone welll and lots of the eye catching players have done well the cogs of the team often don’t get the praises their performances warrant. He is a...
  • Borninthe80ts replied to the thread U21s: Spurs vs United.
    Wish I could have watched the game as it sounds like the young lads did well. I was expecting we would see a few more under 18s play up but a full team was surprising. Like has been said I think are looking to go down the route of playing the...
  • This just feels like another stick to beat the manager with. He is at an age where he needed game time consistently to develop and is probably still not getting enough now, even though the level is high. He has played 14 games this season when I...
  • I think something like this could be beneficial too. Going abroad is an experience in itself. Especially for players in a situation that Gomes did and Forson now. Not quite ready for regular football at United requirements but need opportunities...
  • It can definitely be a positive tool, even short terms to give a taster.
  • Yeah there’s fully sense and logic in holding him back in our current situation as there’s so much drama and negativity that he will inevitably get caught up in it. The ideal situation as is with most youth is to see them come on whe we’re...
  • It’s true that the league doesn’t seems as competitive or well organised as the under 18s but I still think we can be improve in relation to loans to aid development or even arranging friendlies or a tournament. I hope your right in that aspect...
  • I agree on the importance of the age group as it’s probably where the players traits are developed and set the most. However I think a lot of these players will be up with the under 21s and I’m hoping they can keep developing and maybe a bit...
  • Borninthe80ts replied to the thread James Scanlon.
    I must admit he didn’t stand out to me, similar to Williams, I saw a good player but no attribute that marked him out. I’m glad that he has stepped up towards the end of the season and as ever shows development isn’t always a straight course...
  • I’m very happy to see the boys and management team rewarded for a very very impressive season. They’ve played the full squad, not relying on star players and yet rarely dropped their levels and produced some excellent football. I’m also glad to...
  • It’s pleasing when someone who tries to play positive attacking football is rewarded like this, I think it can send a positive message to teams in similar situations. Also the way he went about his business by building from in house and improving...
