Reserves / Youth teams thread 12/13

Either way, I don't expect him to play but it's nice that his good form is getting some recognition.

Bar my bias, much rather have him there than Eccleston.

Absolutely, no bias needed. I have no idea what Eccleston is still doing at the club, he's the new El Zhar.

Did Morgan play yesterday too as he's also travelled?

[RedReet]

Came on as a sub which makes me think he's in Rodgers plans for Hearts. Teixeira was on bench but didn't play, although I'm not sure if he's fully fit.

[Pablo]

Ah ok, cheers. I see Suso's not travelled, but I read he's suspended for this one due to a red card he picked up at the end of last season.

[RedReet]

He was suspended for reserve duty due to a red card on the last day of last season, should be available for this.

Read he was allowed leave to go back to Spain this week so not surprised he didn't travel.

[BigChief]

Ngoo - good to see youngsters being recognised, as stated above.
Eccleston - has scored more than Ngoo for reserves surely? If Ngoo's deserves a chance then so should he
Texeira - the commentators in the Wolves game said we were not taking risks with Taxi due to his comeback from a long term injury
Suso - gone back to Spain? The holiday break he never got in pre-season? Or something more sinister?

[Pablo]

Even if Ecclestone banged in 50 goals for the reserves this season I would still like him to be moved on. He's been here too long and he's never going to make it at this level, so what's the point?

[BigChief]

On an unrelated point, if I threw grapes at Ngoo would that be considered racist?

I very much doubt that. He went through a purple patch when he returned from loan last year which surprised everyone, but bar that I can't remember him ever being that prolific.

And to be fair, Eccleston got a chance in America and he was quite poor. His main attribute is pace, but a few times he had head starts on defenders and was still caught.

[Lee]

Yeah Eccleston is ****.

3-0 HT Sinclair (2), Gainford.

Only 15, but Sinclair looks a very good player, certainly knows where the back of the net is.

[Fredo]

Finished 3-3.

[BigChief]

Really impressed with Sinclair. I think he's still only a trialist (?). What's happened to Ibe, when are we going to see him again?

[Gibbo]

RedReet, you ned to add Van Persie's goal to your sig.
