2024/25 Tim Iroegbunam

[Lanolin]

Clubs make mistakes about young players all the time like EFC and Robinson for example. But they should be given a decent chance, so play Tim and Chermeti for the rest of the season and let's make a decision based on demonstrable facts.

We don't make the decision, the manager and coaches do. If they can't make a decision based on all the evidence and data they have available to them then they probably shouldn't be in the job. Football isn't a talent show, this idea that we should just let everyone on the books have a run of games to see whether the fans rate them or not is really quite mad.

Watching people kick a ball around a field is a bit weird when you think about it isn’t? Once you accept we’re all on here talking about that, commenting on how much they earn for doing it hardly compares in terms of being bizarre does it?

You’re bizarre.

 

[Lanolin]

You’re bizarre.

I mean I'm obviously not being entirely serious but the point still stands to be fair. I think it's probably worth pointing out I was hardly giving it the 'GIVE NURSES FOOTBALLERS WAGES' line, just pointing out that normal football fans passing comment on the performances of a footballer who cost and is paid a lot of money isn't really 'bizarre' to use the word of the moment. If he was an academy kid who we were throwing in because of an injury crisis it's a bit different, but I was just saying I don't really see why Iroegbunam's performances would be any less worthy of comment than anyone else's, seeing as he's a fully fledged member of the first team squad and has been around first team football for 3/4 years now.

Needs a loan learn positioning etc.

Concerned due to lack of backing etc be forced to ruin another young players career because of necessity (see Tom Davies).

 

[Mozza1987]

Thought he looked good when he came on at the end. Definitely a player in there.

Just think is his positioning get lost sometimes does have alot of good things about him. Maybe like armstrong if we can get him a loan to play each week.

Agree, mate. Like to see him and Chermitti start the last matches. Let’s see what we’ve got with more time given on the pitch to prove out.

He played a role today where he didn’t need to hold a position and he thrived.

He has the ability, needs some discipline.

 

[nsno_traditionally]

A full pre season and some real coaching will make sure he's a very useful player next year I think

 

[blueconverse]

3 important interceptions/blocks. Deffo not been sulking on the bench

 

[maccavennie]

Yep a couple of vital blocks and tackles that helped us see the game out.

The one when they got around the back and full stretch he had to hook it away was superb.
