Phil Foden is a similar build, if he can do it then Howley can (appreciate footballing ability there is no comparison!)Howley has a bit of the Cian Harries about him. Highly rated but until he hits the gym he's going to get bullied in men's football.
Thought Burroughs looked good when he came on. He might be better than BNC and JWE.
JWE very poor at spotting a quick pass as well, might just be inexperience thoughIt's like his brain is too slow for his body. He did a couple of good things then just goes into dopey mode, let's the ball bounce or doesn't spot a runner, or plays the wrong pass.

You serious ? Foden is about a stone lighter and 6 inches shorter.Phil Foden is a similar build, if he can do it then Howley can (appreciate footballing ability there is no comparison!)

Sorry I was being ironic and making the point that those two get criticised no matter what from some people.
Did you not see the shambolic performance of BNC during the A444 clean up operation? Far too much standing around for my liking!

*Just clarifying this is a joke. It was a great initiative and fair play to all of them that got involved. Lots of smiles here too!
Great range of passing, tackles and constantly covering for defenders, what more do you want?
Great to see Eccles, Burroughs and Howley coming through. All have the ability to be really good players for us.
Godden should have scored the winner that’s for sureThe more I see of JWE the more I see a player there. He glides past players with ease. Final decision making, etc there are flaws but that's why he's out on loan.
I think people are blinded by the parent club. If he was coning through the academy I think we'd say he was raw but has potential to be a decent player for us. But because he's not ours, he's shit.
Eccles was great but at the same time, he was far too tentative in the first 20 mins. There was a passage of play he received it twice on half way and without even thinking just played it straight back when there was no one around him. But boy what a player he will be for us.
Howley I thought good first 10 mins but then completely disappeared until that penalty trip incident.
Godden should have been given another 5 mins after the goal and then come off.
More to the point then if Foden is of lighter build to Howley but plays at the top level of the men's game, footballing aside I don't see him struggle with the physicalityYou serious ? Foden is about a stone lighter and 6 inches shorter.
Still not great going to a concert the night before a game imo. Guess Tom Grennan finished about 10:45 no idea if the met up with him after but I doubt they got to bed before 1am. And all that energy sapping excitement and loud noiseall on the piss last night at that concert, weren't they?!
Would be quite happy if we got the benefit of any future improvement.... If he was coning through the academy I think we'd say he was raw but has potential to be a decent player for us.

Say it on here and you get pelters but for me, on the ball, in the final third, Bidwell is just not effective. That one in the first half he had about 5 mins to pick a player out with a cross and he hit the defender. The crowd lap it up cuz we got a corner out of it but oggy was fuming as was I.Biggest disappointment for me was Bidwell. Very poor, gave the ball away all the time . BNC wasn’t a bad addition. Hamer was tops for an hour but faded.
Dabo bang average too, which meant our supply from the wings and crossing were poor by our standards.
Glad BNC and JWE aren’t our players and going back at the season end
I hope they go on to do well in their careers and no doubt there will be many posts in years to come highlighting how we didn’t know what talents we had
But for this point in time, I just don’t see what the club are gaining other than a few more warm bodies to help fill the bench

He won't be here next season

Fair play if true.Someone I know said they left early
Bidwells pass completion rate was 80% which is pretty much on par with everyone else that started yesterday.Biggest disappointment for me was Bidwell. Very poor, gave the ball away all the time . BNC wasn’t a bad addition. Hamer was tops for an hour but faded.

That's because he plays safe safe safe every time.Bidwells pass completion rate was 80% which is pretty much on par with everyone else that started yesterday.

Have to agree about Bidwell he's not too bad at defending but fucking awful with his final ballSay it on here and you get pelters but for me, on the ball, in the final third, Bidwell is just not effective. That one in the first half he had about 5 mins to pick a player out with a cross and he hit the defender. The crowd lap it up cuz we got a corner out of it but oggy was fuming as was I.

He has deteriorated seriously since the turn of the year. Was one of the best players before the World Cup but don't know what's happening with him.Say it on here and you get pelters but for me, on the ball, in the final third, Bidwell is just not effective.

So he couldn't have given the ball away all of the time then could he?That's because he plays safe safe safe every time.
He seems to play well with Gyokeres. There was some good exchanges between the two in the short period he was on whereas Bidwell was providing very little support to Gyokeres. They also seem to be talking a lot.Yeah, he’s getting better game by game. In his shortish cameo today he drove into the box a couple of times turning his man inside out. The polar opposite to Bidwell who gets it in early. Pretty much the exact type signing we needed as competition/an alternative to Bidwell. End product needs to improve but similar to Maatsen after only a few full games worth of time on pitch in that sense.
