Haha, just a year later and his Town league debut may be coming.

I expect JCB32 will be coming at the thought...

That is the first time I've seen a picture of the sainted Lloyd and blimey I wouldn't. Luckily there is someone who will?

Seriously., I hope we get to see him play tomorrow.  JPC views aside he sounds very promising.

Looked a cut above when I've seen him for the yoofs.

Big jump though. Good luck Lloyd. Make JPC proud.

all I can say is about fucking time.

might as well get some use out of him before he goes.

Is he actually making his debut tomorrow he is?  Gutted to be missing the match now.  Hope he does well and has a decent run in the team, the arrogant little bugger.  Just what we need at the moment, someone who believes in himself.

Probably on the bench

He looks like a more pointy Lewis Hamilton.

^^^^ what he said ^^^^. He's in the squad, that is all.

Shit, i've just noticed this one.

How long has the news monkey been working?

It isn't, some dick resurrected a thread from 2007

and more spotty and no cool PCD girlfriend

"The youth team right winger is vying for a starting slot with fellow youngster Chris Allen,"




Strange

I was expecting Allen to be involved tomorrow as well

i think chris allen is a good player, i'm confused how someone who's pretty one dimensional like pook can get ahead of him

Because Bennett he's "lightweight".  Well according to some anyway.  I'd give him another go in the firsts, least he tries to play the game.

no doubting his technial ability but playing a 442 where he would be 1 of the central midfielders he hasnt got the strength and tackling to make an impact, thats why when hes played it has been when we have had 3 central midfielders so the other 2 can do all the tackling and chrissy can just spray the ball about.

I hope he plays, god do we need to change the midfield.

i know the excuses but pook doesn't put himself about and peacock can't pass.

timlin, easton and allen can when the wind blows the right way though.

his set pieces could help us out a bit too.  I'd have Morrison back in, use his throw and tell the strikers and Peacock to attack his throws instead of softly allow the keeper centre halves have it their own way.

u cant play him for his set piece delivery, McGoverns is better thans chrissy anyway

Confirmed Lloyd not on bench today but as part of the squad to gain matchday experience with the firsts

is that a positive in the current environment?

exactly what we were lacking the last 20 minutes.

Would have been the perfect chance to get him on and to see what he can do.

dont think playing him today would have done him or the team any good at all.

hes something different, look at the bench we had, Corr wont do anything that Peacock wasnt doing, Pooky wont create nothing, Blair is fucking shit, they wont be many/if any footballers in the country as quick as Lloyd, we was what we lacked

I for one would have liked to have seen Allen been given a prod today

are mcgovern and macca not creative then? throwing macklin in today would have been a massive gamble for the team and the player.i dont think it is the right time for him at all

Ooo-err.

well without him it turned out well didnt it

and throwing in a talent-loose cannon could have fucked up on two counts

Morrison and Callum have been playing in this shit team, hasnt wrecked them has it

 :hmmm:

both have played in the reserves and prepared.

are you macklin jcp?

McNamee created fuck all today, like he does most games.

I've not seen this loose cannon side of Lloyd but fuck me, he is a good player, he has premiership clubs looking at him - so he must somewhere have something about him.

I find it biazare a player who is being tracked by some top premiership teams cant get a game in our shower of shite.

20 minutes to go. 3-2 needing to get back into the game. He would have come on and ran at the Yeovil defenderds with a bit of pace, something we lack upfront.

spot on DV hes something different, we dont have no one explosive and lightning quick as Lloyd

As I said a month or so ago Macca is a luxury player.  On his day one of the best left wingers in the league - if not the best - but if he is not on song we are a 10-man team at best.  Unfortunately today was not one of his best games, but like most of the others I guess it is a confidence thing.

I totally agree, its also the reason Macklin would have been the perfect replacement to. We'd have kept some sort of shape as well.

To be fair DV-it was a cracking cross from Mc that Cox should have buried in the first half.He also was unlucky with one curling effort second half.I think the problem with him is that he simply doesnt get enough of the ball.

The only one that sticks out in my mind today was the one Cox headed wide.

However, I'd expect the best left winger in league one as some of our fans claim to put in more than one or two decent crosses a game.

Yeah you're right but "one or two" is more than "fuck all" (call me a pedant!)

Cox should have scored from that cross, it was a perfect delivery.
McNamee's shot was inches wide ...
I would play him every game without a doubt.

Calm down Jase, I think our youngsters have been among the better players recently, Kennedy has done a good job, better than Smith today IMO.

Would have liked to have seen Lloyd get a go, especially when we were trying to play 4 strikers on the pitch, leaves no-one who can actually put a ball in.

I'm sure any of the local girls would surpass the slutty cunt drivel that those 'singers' record.
