How well would the Reserve Team that...

played against Swansea today fair in the championship?

The team was:

Elliot
Kadar Henderson Dummet Santon (I think we could rearrange them to - Santon Henderson Kadar Dummet)
Sammy Abeid Richardson Ferguson
Gosling
Ranger

Subs: Ole Soderberg, Stephen Folan, McDermott, Inman, Moyo

I think they would finish mid-table because of a lack of experience but the team has more than enough quality to steer away from the relegation zone.

 

Bottom half due to lack of experience and how **** a finisher Ranger is. 15th?

 

Kadar's back.

We need to start getting some of these lads out on loan, especially the ones who aren't making the bench.

 

it was that

 

Not very well.

 

Ranger isn't a **** finisher, he's scored 6 in 12 for the England u19's.

He wasn't given a proper chance in the PL. Sub appearances aren't proper chances. He has all the qualities of a top class striker. Excellent pace, great strength, good dribbler, causes havoc for defenders.

He only really missed one sitter.

All Ranger needs is regular starts and experience. He just needs to boost his confidence and composure in front of goal.

He's better than Carroll was with as little experience. Carroll only started scoring regularly half way through our CC season. In the first half he scored like 3 goals.

 

He is though. Loads of players score a hatful at lower level. The West Ham game typifies him under pressure. He cant hack it.

3 goals in 49 apps last I saw it.

 

yes but Ranger is a dick and a liability off the pitch

 

kadar at rb????????

 

nah he played central from the commentary on .co.uk

 

2 of the defenders were left footed but we obviously want to get Santon used to playing LB.

 

He's a dick but at least he doesn't get in punch ups in bars on weekends and threaten to miss matches for being in jail.

 

That's exactly what he does. He broke a guys jaw recently.

 

With Elliot in goal we'll concede 3 goals every game

 

Really? Who says?

 

Well the police. He's been arrested more times than he's scored for us, are you really defending him?

 

It's the reason he was in bother last time I think.

This is from the match report :
6mins - The match has started at a fairly slow pace but the opener almost came out of nothing as Paul Dummett's slack pass from centre-back was charged down by Luke Moore and the former Aston Villa striker ran through on goal.

Strikers in the championship get plenty of opportunities per match so I think Ranger would benefit from that and a consistent run in the team.
Santon would perform similar to how Enrique performed in the Championship.
Ferguson would be great along with Abeid and Gosling.
The rest of the defence would be a weak point.

 

Ok then. But i honest don't see how he's that much worse than Carroll was at that age.

I say loan him out and give him the chance.
