Title: STFC vs Arsenal U21 MoM
Post by: Red Frog on Tuesday, September 7, 2021, 19:56:07
So who was watching the boutique footy tonight? It's quite enjoyable seeing a game where you can afford to relax and try a few things out. OK, we were playing kids, but the signs are we've got a few footballers in the club this year.

Don't think you can draw too many conclusions from that. Dabre was certainly keen to impress and did well. Hopefully we can have a little bit of a run in this competition, I'm sure it will be very beneficial for the fringe players like Dabre, Aguiar etc...

 I only watched the last hour but thought little Dabre looked like he could be a good player. I also thought Tyrese Simpson did very well when he came on, looked big, strong and quick and was unlucky not to get on the scoresheet.

I reckon Simpson could have got 2 or 3 had he been on for the whole game.

Yeah I agree with this. I also noticed Arsenal's keeper looked ropey as hell. I think I saw at least 3 goal kicks where he basically kicked it straight to one of our players. His handling appeared suspect also.

Yeah, he was extremely dodgy..

it must have been an off day/nerves. you can't get to the Arsenal u23 being that crap

I've seen better keeper  performances  in the u18s local leagues. genuinly

I dunno, it can get you a Man Utd squad number and a call up to the Czech national team?

Not excusing it as he is a pro keeper but you have to wonder if playing at a 'big' stadium in front of a crowd has such a negative effect on these guys. We saw it with Kovar last season and this guy seemed to be a huge bag of nerves. I know in the Under 23s they play in front of a handful of colleagues so could the fact 2,500 fans are there cause these guys to turn to shit?

True that.

thing is, a fair few of those that watched kovar in man U u23  said he was good!

so yeah, stadiums, fans, expectation is a lot to take in for some

I imagine the mental pressure of fans is very different, but I also think a big change is the way the game is played.  It's quicker, more balls into the box, less control etc.  I think Goalkeepers see more of the ball and in different situations to how it works in U23 football and below.   I'd imagine, but have no data to back this claim up, that more Keepers progress up the leagues than other positions, and more who have been on loan do well than other positions.  In the long term.

As I no longer live in Swindon - but still a season ticket holder - where did we sign Mo Dabre from and Ricky Aguilar?  Thank you

What is the relevance of where you live or your Season Ticket holding status to your question out of interest?

I never see the relevance of the phrase 'lifelong fan'.  Must one support the club immediately after birth? Is there a grace period before you elect to support a club?  Then of course we get into the realms of whether one can be a fan if one does not attend any matches.

It probably hasn't reached the wastelands of the south, but we have an innovative tool up here called Google that can answer such questions swiftly and easily.  ;)
