Gonna go and watch the reserves this afternoon, mainly to watch Charlie Austin. Is it still free to get in?

Austin is starting to look the part, I know its only reserves but he hasnt stopped scoring.

If it's just a question of fitness why not have him on the bench?


Title: Re: Plymuff Reserves
Post by: suttonred on Tuesday, October 20, 2009, 13:42:04
Was a story on the O/S i think, saying his fitness was there, and it wouldn't be long before he made his debut.

Has O'Brien picked up an injury in the first half???

Says on the OS that he was replaced before half time

O'brien's coming back from injury ain't he. Maybe not ready for a match yet even if it is a reserve match.

Blimey, Barry Corr had better levels of fitness than Alan O'Brien.

Cannot think that you would be replaced after 30 mins unless injured.

If they only wanted to give him 30 mins it would have been the last 30 when the opposition were getting fatigued. :cry:

Doesnt mention injury on the O/s, probably just bringing him back gently.

3-1 Austin again.

Surely charlie will be on the bench at least Saturday 4 goals in 3 games!!

Three mentions of Morrison errors though. He always seemed so assured when he started out in the first team. Suffering an ex-golden-boy hangover?

Saw the game and have to say Austin looks good for a place on the bench... at th very least

Post by: DiV on Tuesday, October 20, 2009, 15:16:03
Just got back. Its fucking cold out.

Game was a bit drab and no one really stood out. Certainly no 'pick me on saturday' performances.

Aljofree has a few extra pounds. Most of Morrisons errors were him slipping over.

Austin is a natural born finisher. His first goal was a tap in from half a yard if that. Second one defender missed it and he controlled it and scored both fairly simple goals but the type we arent scoring. I have no idea what his level is, even Razak scored lots of goals in the reserves. I hope L1 is his level because he will score lots of goals at his level.

O'Brien didnt appear to get injured.

 You've got to be very careful, judging strikers on reserve games...I remember watching Jamie Slabber calmly slotting goals in the stiffs.


Title: Re: Plymuff Reserves
Post by: Batch on Tuesday, October 20, 2009, 16:23:20
True enough Reg, but scoring in the stiffs is better than not scoring in the stiffs! One step at a time, we all know Austin is a bit of a punt.


Title: Re: Plymuff Reserves
Post by: Luci on Tuesday, October 20, 2009, 16:58:06
I said somewhere on another thread I wouldn't have him near the first team for fear of him not being ready fitness wise etc. but now, to hell with that and stick him on the bench! :D

Indeed, but our non scoring forwards are putting pressure on Austin, who's now being seen by some as a kind of salvation for our season, when he should be gradually eased into pro football.

What will most likely happen is that he'll get pushed in too soon, struggle and get monged by our ever tolerant fans.

The new "James Williams"-I hope not

I'd put Austin on the bench for now. He can't be any worse than Peacock or Hutchinson anyway. And i'd start him at home to Norwich in the JPT.

Agreed. I thought Austin looked very sharp today and would play him over Hutchinson. Austin has something to play for and Hutchinson looks like he wants to be elsewhere
