Smogzilla 7,484 Posted April 10, 2021 Share Posted April 10, 2021 Youth watch: Coburn won't be with the 1st team today. Warnock wants him to play with the u18s as they're playing in the late rounds of the youth cup this week. 2 Link to post Share on other sites
Downsouth 6,328 Posted April 10, 2021 Share Posted April 10, 2021 Will be a good game to watch Ibelieve certainly Barnsley have to keep going which could be to our advantage if we adapt an attacking mode. Score draw result for me Link to post Share on other sites

He's with us "long term" - however long that is, but seemingly doesn't feature in the manager's plans, unless his hand is forced. Hayden's featured in just 13 games...only made the starting lineup 3 times and has just 7 hours' playing time under his belt. Not really had much chance to show his best. Only Wing, Roberts & Browne have had less time (and NML but he's a recent arrival). 1 Link to post Share on other sites
TeaCider24 12,646 Posted April 10, 2021 Share Posted April 10, 2021 (edited) I've spent the morning watching the Full 90 of Cardiff v Middlesbrough as I missed the last hour live, ticking it off so I can say I've watched every minute of every game this season. It's not particularly entertaining to watch when you know the score, you know it's a draw, and there are no fans. I should have done it back in October 1 Link to post Share on other sites

I'd go with Akpom and give him a run of games with players that are likely to be here next season around him, albeit that's not many based on Warnock's earlier comments about the out of contract players all departing.

I do agree with your point to an extent, but he didn't say all the out of contract players are definitely departing, just that he thinks they will. If he thought they were all definitely leaving, they wouldn't be having discussions with Johnson in the summer. Fletcher would already be on a new long term contract if the club and Warnock had got their way, so it might well be an effort to sway him back towards signing an extension. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

RiseAgainst 3,793 Posted April 10, 2021 Share Posted April 10, 2021 Normally I would say this is a game we need to win. But too many of them have slipped past recently with disappointing results for that sentiment to mean much any more. Score draw for me. Hope we see some energy from the start, and personally, I'd love to see Coulson given a few games at #10. It's not as if anyone else could resent being dropped, and if it works, it'd save us splashing the cash on a #10 in the summer. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Playing someone in a position that doesn't suit them, in the hope that it somehow might suit them, seems barmy to me. The alternative would be to play him in a position that does suit him, but we do seem to struggle with that concept at this football club. I suppose we'll have to see what the team looks like for this one. But the point is he's not gonna get played there because the player in that position is actually playing well? Unless you want us to play 2 left backs to accommodate him? Link to post Share on other sites

It's not as if anyone else could resent being dropped, and if it works, it'd save us splashing the cash on a #10 in the summer. I'm already like many of our players...thinking of Summer holidays, (staycation obviously). I'll be watching these remaining games more out of idle interest, than any real hope or expectation. I'd like to see Coulson given some games, along with any promising U23s, just to see how we play with some different names in the team. Obviously (hopefully?) it'd be good for team morale if we won, or got a result of any kind, but I won't be that bothered if we help Barnsley's play-off bid. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Only Wing, Roberts & Browne have had less time (and NML but he's a recent arrival). I kind of feel sorry for him too, he's been sold the vision with his contract under Woodgate, sold as part of the future of this club. And I'm a big Hayden Coulson fan, I'd definitely prefer it if he could show what he could do as a left back as I think he'd have a better chance of making it here. But in a team filled with inconsistent plodders, you don't take out one of your brightest lights to accommodate someone else. Last season the shoe was on the other foot, we weren't gonna drop Coulson for Bola for the sake of it. If he's gonna play for Warnock, he's got to find a way to make himself useful in a team with Bola in it. James Husband had the exact same issue when he was brought here, he had to find a way to make a name for himself with George Friend in the side, he didn't do that so he had to leave. 2 Link to post Share on other sites
