Yes to be fair I remember during the l1 promotion season robins started playing mccallum and I thought mason was better, but in the end mccallum showed his quality
Yes to be fair I remember during the l1 promotion season robins started playing mccallum and I thought mason was better, but in the end mccallum showed his qualityThe manager isn't against playing youngsters
Sam McCallum was a surprise choice when the incumbent left back at the time was a fan's favourite
It's mostly to do with the personality shown in training with the first team squad
Many young players are quiet when they move into the senior squad. It's those that immediately look comfortable and as though they belong there that are more likely to get a chance
I can kind of see the Nuddy comparison a little as he is perhaps unpredictable, mainly due to rawness, but for me Stern John comes to mind a bit. His movement suggests that all he wants to do is score goals: whilst everyone else was running in, he dropped off into space and jockeyed in anticipation of the ball coming out to him, I liked Robins pointing out that he'd found more space in 2 mins than our other strikers had all game. And that was a bit of a Stern shot! If he's half as good as him we've got a bargain.
Even before then, he was constantly at it. Moving between defenders and looking for a run.In the 10 seconds from the moment of Hamer's free-kick delivery and Tavares scoring, Tavares moved his feet 22 times. It isn't just A to B pace that's important, it is the quickness of feet adjustment that can make a difference. Not to mention the finish.

Yeah I doubt he's ready to start games and be the main man. Last 20 minutes when chasing a game against tired defenders? Yes.
Yeah
I still think any negativity towards robins for not using him may well prove to be the biggest nonsense. His confidence may be completely down to the way robins has managed the whole of it
Robins has earned the right to be trusted
if The penalty happened a minute later Shipley would have been on
Yep fate tooif The penalty happened a minute later Shipley would have been on
Are you still pretending it was a robins master stroke?Yeah

Not that decision no. Just how the lad has been handled. Not sure anyone but Tavares deserves any credit for the movement touch and finish just stunningAre you still pretending it was a robins master stroke?
Agree. A very cool, composed finish like Bagan at Cardiff the other day against us. We need to give these so-called kids a chance. They’ll sometimes show the older, wiser and more experienced players how to seize these opportunities and not rush into a botched attempt. Think it’s because they have nothing to lose and can play with freedom.People say he's an inexperienced forward, but that's the finish of an experienced player. He drops back into a space where you'd expect a headed clearance to land, brings the ball under control with utmost composure, and those quick feet to find the space when the defenders closing him down. And that's ignoring the finish.

Might not be a bad idea bringing him on the in the second half versus Swansea who usually play a very high line at the back. His pace could be a problem for tired legs.A Sunday morning reality check is required.
Yes he scored a great goal, yes he took up a great position and looked the part.
But the lad is raw as f#%k and needs careful handling by MR.
I dont expect him to get any game time away at Swansea, but I can see him getting 20 or 30 minutes at an upcoming home game before Godden returns.
And maybe a good runout before the end of the season if we play any "dead rubber games" in preparation for being in the mix next season.

Obviously I haven't seen much of Tavares but unlike Ponticelli, he seems to be able to control a football.To be fair Ponticelli did that too, and also scored a couple of opportunistic goals. Unfortunately for him when MR brought him on in games he often played Ponticelli in deeper lying wide positions which really didn't suit him. Hopefully Tavares won't face the same fate, which he shouldn't given the system we now play where our width is provided by our wing backs.
And he actually looks athletic rather than like a tubby kid running around the school field.Obviously I haven't seen much of Tavares but unlike Ponticelli, he seems to be able to control a football.
I’ve seen him 8-10 times,not for a couple of months but he’s lightening quick good movement always playing on the shoulder he’s stronger than he looks and can finish...he’s still very raw,always said he reminded me on a Shaun Wright-Phillips build type of playerI think with his pace he could be a great option later in games. I can only assume his touch and link up play might be his weakest area as his pace and finishing look good. Has anyone on here honestly seen him play 90 mins for the u23 a few times and could comment on his all round ability.
Dead ringer
I have, played well in one game didn’t score and not very well in another and equalised in the last minute.I’ve seen him a couple of times and his movement reminded me of a young Defoe

Seems like a nice lad and got his head screwed on too.

i’ve been thinking that. the guy in the apprentice he looks like is weak and not assertive tooHe looks like a bloke on the apprentice as well. Maybe that's why he hasn't played much
Makes fuck all sense can't understand the logic behind it myself no matter how hard I trySo the manager chose Waghorn who was up all night ill at the hotel & was awful last week over a fully fit Tavares who scored and got us a valuable point ?
Makes sense
