BFC Set-up Development Squad

[Bumble Bee]

Why no Luke Hacker again - has he fallen down a black hole? Seems to have disappeared off the radar like Spillane.

Hacker is injured at the moment.
Loads of quality in that West Ham squad, tough ask for the boys. Do you think West Ham have missed the point of a DEVELOPMENT squad?

I think Ryan Blake has joined them!!

I think Ryan Blake has joined them!!

Injured just before the Liverpool game and still recovering I believe

Final score 3-1 to West Ham.

Let's hope we can come away with a couple of loanees

I imagine, like us when we play others, would have agreed to let them play their trialists and older players to have a look at them.
But still, 3-1 against that team = a good result to be honest. The two on trial are good enough for a lower Premier League team, and didn't they both play for Fulham once upon a time? Sears and Nouble have played first team football for them on numerous occasions.. I wouldn't mind seeing them on loan here. You never know.....

 

[hanworthbee]

Sears has scored about 5 goals in 100 games and most of those games have been in the championship....

Agree an excellent result.. To be fair I bet the lads would rather be playing against those names, it should inspire them and they have probably learned loads today.
It's not about the results..

and those 100 games, how many has he started, and how many minutes in total are his sub appearances??

 

[BuzzBeeSi]

According to soccerbase he has made 47 starts, plus 39 sub appearances. He has scored 3 goals.

 

[condorman]

on the face of it that's a good performance from a very inexperienced Bees side.

oyeleke might just be a good un

An interesting and crap stat on Sears - has never scored for a side while on loan. Appearances on loan stand at nearly 40. I think he is much hyped but doesn't live up to it in any way.

I agree

 

[North London Bee]

just watched the Brizzle highlights. Let's draw a veil over some of the defending but it was wonderful to see the quality of the attacking football we played. 1-2s, players running at the opposition, quick breaks from defence, great running off the ball.

Augers well for the future too.

Don't they always. Long way to go before we know whether he's another Simon Wormull or not.

Oh but the poor lad did score for Palace!
I can't understand why anyone would want him on loan, a non-scoring forward, there are plenty of them about.

Also recommend everyone with Bees Player to watch the highlights. Sam Wood's second is goal of the season!!

 

[hanworthbee]

vote for Luke Hackers goal....great goal http://www.lfe.org.uk/news/goal-of-the-month-september-2011

 

[brighton bee]

Christian Nanetti on trial at charlton now-wonder if we let him go or he decided to try his luck elsewhere...

 

[homelessbee]

vote for Luke Hackers goal....great goal http://www.lfe.org.uk/news/goal-of-the-month-september-2011

Voted for Luke but the Portsmouth lads overhead kick was a bit special aswell

 

[hanworthbee]

2 -0 down so far..Logan, KO, Reeves and Wood starting

Usual fare from the Dev squad then. Always seem to go 2 down early on

 

[Bigbee]

lost 2 -0 .Our Dev squad is pants ,what is it now ,drawn 2 lost 6 or summing ?

 

[Brentford_till_die]

...............harsh.............

 

[toeneebee]

...................and developing lol

 

[readingbee]

John Christophe Ayina forward played after 68 mins, French striker played for PSG aged 20, the other forward the club still aren't saying who in the report still down as A Trialist ??

 

[rebus]

Our Dev squad is pants

That sort of comment misses the point. I was at the match this afternoon and Palace put out a strong team. The whole point of a development squad is exactly that, development. The score is quite frankly irrelevant and one of the reasons we pulled out of the Combination. Reserve team football is almost dead.

Shay Logan looks to be fit again and Reeves, Oyeleke and Ekim came out of the match with great credit. In most of the games played so far this season, the team has played sides with far more experience.

I wasnt being serious ,so come on ,who was the trialist ?

 

[jlove]

Mr Sitter, apparently.

 

[GP200]

Mr Sitter, apparently.

.........yep......caught him on Twitter..........

 

[hanworthbee]

Maybe it is the actual A Trialist

 

[absenteebee]

Maybe it is the actual A Trialist

Hope not. Been around years, played for more clubs than Steve Claridge and usually leaves after one or two games

 

[rebus]

Uwe has requested this information be withheld at this point and I respect his wishes on that. He looked okay for what it's worth.

 

[Bigbee]

Mr Sitter, apparently.

Donaldson's twin ?

Ooh - exciting!

 

[GP200]

How can YOU be at the match when I could not?

It was 'behind closed doors' with the gates 'locked'.

Fans club or just a special few????????????????????

Exactly - it's just like the whole grassroots thing in this country, alot of people think that if two teams are playing an organised game (at any age/level), the principle objective is always to win.

 

[hanworthbee]

it defo wasnt schlupp unless he is also in on it

Rebus is a BFC Director so he is special.

 

[GEOFFBEE]

I personally think that, whilst 'development' is very important, it is foolish to consider results and scorelines as 'irrelevant'.
Surely, we want our players to compete , and to acquire a 'winning mentality'?....

 

[wanderer paul]

There's only one 'special' director and that's 'abee'. :yes:

 

[absenteebee]

why would schlupp be A Triallist? surely he woudl be A Signing...

gutted none of us could score past that keeper...

is the triallist in the photos on the website?

I reckon it's Georgi Kinkladze

Winning is always nice Geoff, but in this arena of organised friendlies the performance and development is key, not the scoreline and that's why I don't pay any attention to them.

It's the precise reason why all matches from age 9 up to 16 for matches between Football League clubs are not allowed to be publicised. Lots of fools out there it would seem.

Foolish not to want our players to win games and earn decent scorelines?
I grant you that performance and development is important, and I also appreciate that our Development Squad often has a sprinkling of senior players who are trialists or need to get match fit, or work their way back from injury etc. But, surely, the 'edge' of competing to win the game has to be there? Otherwise these players will not get sharp enough for the cut and thrust of league football .And it will be difficult to judge if the youngsters have what it takes to succeed in mens football...
Is it really club policy that the results of this squad are 'irrelevant' and is Uwe comfortable with that?

 

[ladbroke]

I doubt it but to start with probably... as you said some coming back from injury... they want to try yet not get injured again.. the kids have gone from playing average other kids to stronger mixed teams of kids and seniors and other teams have had their squads together like this slightly longer...

How many development squad players do we actually have?? I believe not that many.. rest made up of trialists and those getting fit...

Give it time. When we have a proper squad where its not always changed and full of getting fit players we might then see some reward.
