Jeez folks - give him a chance. He only turned up today and was probably expected to get about 15 minutes.

Apparantly he did a full training session with Arsenal this morning because he wasn't expecting to move today, which would have affected his condition.
Impossible to judge him on last night as we never got the ball to his feet.

I'm not moaning at the poor lad - he didn't have a chance last night, and I'm sure he'll do the business in time.
However, I actually thought it was a pathetic decision to bring him on and not Cort last night. Blustery conditions, local derby, bottom of the table scrap against a physical side, having only joined up with the squad that day ... fair enough, give him a run for the last 10 minutes if chasing the game, but that was a complete and utter gamble that backfired terribly.

You shouldn't be encouraging kids to enhance themselves to overcome injury like that.
We played like a team that saw demons everywhere so you might be on to something.

to say that he had a sh*te game yesterday, would be putting it kindly
he didnt care, put in zero effort and should never have been put on ahead of cort
Bean was crap on his debut too.
Luckily I am sure Andy will make his judgement on more than the 60 odd mins we saw last night.

Another fans favourite then. In a team that has shown a marked inability to battle when the going gets tough I would certainly not expect a Kid playing his first game for the team to do something that the more senior players failed to do!!
Both he and Bostock will blow hot and cold, I agree that Cort would have been the preferred option and that is something only Scott can explain however cut the kids some slack it is not their fault the team is where it is
Rhys Murphy
its not the fact that he played badly that bothers me, its the fact that he did not try, he didn't chase balls down or even try to get involved. he looked like he honestly didnt care and players who don't want to put the effort in should not play

'If he gets the right service'
The Brentford striker curse strikes again.
Rhys Murphy
The problem for players like Bostock & Murphy is that they play so few games. Spurs don't have a reserve team & Arsenal reserves have only played about half a dozen games this season. Tbh, we probably wouldn't have got them if they had more opportunities to play but, in any event, the difference between that type of football and the hurly-burly of D1 is substantial & it does take time for players to adjust.
They are also all coming back from injury I believe, including Pim.
If, as WEB says, Murphy did a full training session yesterday morning, it is not surprising that he did not play well last night.
Hopefully both of these guys will come good - they certainly have the talent -but unless something happens in our centre mid-field the team will, imo, always have problems.
We have 5 young loanees, 4 of whom are teenagers; one of our (currently many) problems appears to be that our more senior players don't appear to be stepping up to the mark & more inexperienced players will often suffer because of that. Where are the leaders in our team??

People need to get off of this guys back typical gpg mentality to shoot the lad down before he has even had a chance, he trained with the arsenal squad on the morning of the game and no wonder he looked tired.
A friend of mine is a huge arsenal fan, they have very high hopes for this guy and you only need to look at the you tube clips to see he knows where the goal is.... i believe andy has got this one right and he will come good in time..... i really hope a few of you are eating humble pie come christmas.

It was probably the culture shock. He's used to being part of a team that plays football, not hoofball.

Defoe scored five goals on Sunday in less time than Murphy spent on the pitch. Get rid of him, he's useless.

This thread is hilarious and the very essence of the Brentford fan's spirit: two pages of upbeat excitement and plaudits for AS (pre-match) followed by two pages of (largely) doom and gloom and what's AS up to? It's true that Tuesday night was a shocker – if I had any hair I wish I'd stayed home to wash it – but if you can honestly assess a 19-year old's contribution in a match where there were no decent out-field performances and no accurate passing, then your talents are truly wasted. Some of you should have great careers on TV as post-match analysts.

There are a number of people on this board whose posts I immediately sit up and listen to.
With that post, I now add Teesbee to the list.

I'm sorry but sensible posts are strictly forbidden following pathetic defeats against clubs fighting relegation. I forget which GPG rule this is but it's a TRUE FACT.

What should we do then, send him back? It's up to the senior players to lead by example and show the younger kids the way. We have no leaders in the team, apart from Ryan Dickson. These guys are teenagers FFs give them a chance. What concerns me is the lack of passion and guts from our own players. and how many times have I sais that over the last few years?

I've just got this through from a very knowledgeable Arsenal fan at work.
See you’ve taken Rhys Murphy on loan? A very natural goal scorer, English (despite the name) and a decent turn of pace. Out injured for most of the last 18 months and at the moment is 3rd choice for the reserves but he is a seriously good finisher and if he has built his body strength up, will be a very nice asset.
Give the lad a chance, lets hope he hasn't found this website yet!!

he should not be given a place over cort who has looked impressive over the last few games. murphy played poorly on tuesday night and i dont care if he's going to be the next michael owen, cort should start tomorrow.
Rhys Murphy
Jeez.........I think we should re-sign Neil Shipperley then you'll really have something to winge about

I don't think he is a replacement for Cort or Strevens, more a replacement for Charlie and the foil for either Strevens or Cort.
Also you cannot judge a 19 year old over 50 minutes coming into that awful performance on Tuesday.
I remember a young Steven Sidwell make his debut for us on a cold Tuesday night against Bury at home and he got out muscled and looked seriously light weight. If I recollect correctly he didn't turn out too bad did he?
Rhys Murphy
Cort's scored something like 5 goals in 28 games over the last two and a half years, he's 32 and his legs are knack'd. Murphy's 19, scores goals for fun, but probably needs a few games. Really difficult one that: (1) play the kid a few times and see what he can do; or (2) tell Arsene we know better and send him back.

In a nutshell, that's the problem with loans. If one player disappoints and you **** around and don't play him, you don't get any more. I suspect we'll see a fair amount of Murphy over the coming weeks.
Rhys Murphy
Bearing in mind Bostock and Murphy are the first loanees from Premier League clubs in living memory, I'll happily keep Harry and Arsene on side for a few games and give the kids a chance. What's the alternative... a bunch of re-treads from the lower leagues? "You can win anything with kids" (A. Hansen).

cort holds the ball up superbly and puts a huge ariel pressure on the opposition's defense. at a time when the team is 'unstable' it is stupid to play a 19 year old who has had little interaction with the squad in place of him

I ask myself what murphy is doing here in the first place. Answer simple, Our present so called strikers are not scoring goals. And before anyone says they are not getting the service, Rubbish/
I have lost count of the times Cort and his ilk, have opted to pass when a shot at goal was the better option. Scott and his board I'm sure would have liked to have selected from our own players. Sadly most have not been up too it.
Rhys Murphy
Mea culpa. You're absolutely right Les. I should have added the prefix "proper" premier league clubs, i.e Man U, Liverpool, Everton, Arsenal, Spurs, Villa and, sadly now, Chelsea and Man City. Don't know how I forgot Sam Williams... class young player who took unbelievable abuse at Bournemouth for example, just like the witch-hunt vs. Murphy. Pettigrew must have been during Butcher's time which I have erased from memory. If Arsene, Harry or Martin O'Neill are prepared to send us good young players, I for one would rather see them play, any day. Come on Rhys...
