And I thought this thread was about Stuart Dallas?
On the subject of which, I hope he gets on the bench Sunday, I think we could do worse than bring him on for the last half hour to run at the defence.

Seriously...if I were Uwe, I'd think about putting him on the bench on Sunday.

They're the team I'd like to come up with us most but only because their immense debts from splurging on the promotion push mean that they are most likely to go into administration and so reduce our probability of relegation.

Well Uwe said he'd play him when he was ready. He looks ready to me. Looked quite good today, started the move for the goal.

Is he as good as or even better than Harry? Can see him and Reeves really making the club tick over the next few years. With Adam as welln the future's bright.

Agreed. Has to have a place on bench every game. Will make picking subs difficult even given strength in depth we now have

Dallas was superb today and introducing him at this stage of the season in effect makes him another strong addition to the team. I can't remember a bees team that was this strong before. Great work Stuart.

I hope Stuart features in the remaining games, the lad deserves a run in the team.
Stuart Dallas - Old thread
I have seen nearly all his game time since he joined us and has not put a foot wrong and looked impressive in everything he has done. Representatives from his old club were over today so maybe UR always intended to bring him on but he really does deserve his place.
Stuart Dallas - Old thread
Not with us though unless Uwe gives him some time on the pitch ! He has been wasted this season , not even getting on as a sub, today beng one of only a couple of exceptions.
Good player with a good football brain.

He is a great player to bring on when the game is drifting and all momentum has gone. He is an upgrade on Myles Weston as he looks to get on the ball more and his crosses are a lot more reliable. Difficult to say whether he will be a good player for us in the long term (don't forget both Weston and McGinn looked special players to begin with) but in the game against Crawley and then today he has looked like he is a great find.

Yes and people were saying very similar things about Forrester's lack of games last season. I think the management team here know what they're doing when they sign players. They can see potential. Anyway given the fact that he's hardly played who would have heard of Stuart Dallas and want to sign him? Wait until next season when we'll all be crapping ourselves that he'll be snapped up at this or that transfer window deadline. Incidentally - who would you have dropped to make room for him? :shrug:

This bloke is quality, could be the difference, now is his time to do it

Agree, these kids may not have 90 minutes in them, its not sunday morning where you can go missing and have a 10 minute breather, slow and steady (ala Forrester).
Stuart Dallas - Old thread
I'd have used him as a regular sub instead of probably Saunders . If we get promoted to the Championship (fingers crossed) I doubt we will see much of him next year either. For what it's worth I happen to think Uwe could have given Harry a bit more of a chance last year. Dallas looks quality every time he plays , if he was on loan (eg Ryan Fredericks) he would have got far more games the he has as our own player.

he may get it now,along with Reeves.Dallas was brought in on development,he said it himself,he needs to adapt to the whole pro football set up,coming from the Irish league which is very slow and unfit.he made a very positive impact today

I think Harry's injuries were a factor last year as well and Uwe had to be extra careful how he handled his game time. I think the managment team know what potential Dallas has and I think he will start to get a few more opportunities. When we go up the managment team will have to decide whether he can cut it at Championship level but lets cross that bridge in June/July.
Stuart Dallas - Old thread
Weston proved good with us :shrug: maybe not for the long term but he was useful for a couple of years. McGinn has since gone on to score against Portugal and is bang on fire for his new club, maybe it just didn't quite click here.
Anyway Dallas, very impressive. I think it would be difficult for anyone to argue that. Looked very good attacking wise and every time he crossed it, it looked threatening, we don't have enough players like that... I hope to see more of him, and I expect we will too especially considering our fixture congestion.

I don't remember him against Crawley
Sorry I meant his debut which was the JPT game. I also thought he did well against Bradford in the cup.

Just bear in mind that any player that looks to drive forward, beat a man and cross into the box will look good in our current team!

I didnt mean that as a dig at Weston or McGinn (although im glad both have left), what i meant was that a player can look very promising to begin with but that doesnt mean you will still be as pleased with them in x months time (I was delighted we had got Paul Brooker after the Charlton friendly....that feeling didnt last very long). I get the feeling Brentford fans may put him on a pedestal and expect loads from him because of how easy he has taken to L1 so far, but this creates uneeded pressure for players. If he is impacting games next season, like he is this season, (when he is gets a chance) that will be fantastic. It will be very interesting to see how he develops, but everything so far suggests he will be fine.
Stuart Dallas - Old thread
I tend to think this sort of argument is a load of cods no disrespect. These are young fit players and whilst there is clearly a step up from the irish league this is league 1 we are in not Seria A or the Champions League. It doesn't seem too much of a gamble to me to give someone like Dallas a mini run of games to see what he can do.
To me every time I have seen Dallas I have seen an exciting player with pace, crossing ability and potential, whereas every time I have seen Saunders I have seen sluggish, uncommitted and ineffective performances.

Ohhh. Agree that he looked good against Bradford and again today. He is our secret weapon from now on in, hopefully ...

Don't forgrt you only get better when you are playing. Stuart Dallas came on and dhanged the game imo So far he has not had a chance at gp Uwe & his coaches see a lot more of him than we do. But Dallas earnt the win today, without him it would have been a draw. Me, I am no Uwe Rosler, but Dallas should have a good future at gp. He put a lovely ball into the box that started the move for the goal.

Most impressive thing was he wanted the ball and when he didnt have it he went and got it, too many of our players were standing back waiting for the ball to come to them.

Have to disagree, esp [bold]
I am somewhat familiar with the Irish League and imo it is much more than "a step up" to Lge One, in 3 respects.
First, the playing standard is basically Conference Level (if that).
Second, the players are almost all part-timers, so that even if the best of them (like Stuart) have the raw talent to succeed at a higher level, they don't have the strength and physical conditioning to compete against full-timers from the off. (This is especially so with youngsters).
Third, they have to adapt to all the off-field demands and pressures of being a professional footballer, which is especially tough on a youngster from the provinces, transferring to the big city, where he probably knows nobody, and has no family support etc.
More particularly in Stuart's case, what you should remember is that he only had two seasons/70-odd games as a part-timer with the Crues. Before that, he was a schoolboy playing as an amateur for Coagh Utd in NI Intermediate football (= County standard football in England, if that). Moreover, even by NI standards, Cookstown (home town) is pretty much "out in the sticks", both socially and football-wise.
In the end, it is always a matter of judgement just how far/fast to push a young player like Stuart, but I for one have every confidence that Uwe knows what he's doing with him.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stuart_Dallas
This might be a valid criticism had Sam S been starting every game, except that he hasn't. Stuart might have more raw talent than Sam, but he has none of his experience at this level. On top of which, Sam's set-pieces are excellent, plus he can contribute the odd goal.

Agree, I understand why Uwe has held him back. He' s going to be a very special player for us. I can't remember when we had so much talent in a Brentford team.

Agree,i,ve watched all the games he,s played in, the lad is improving all the time.
Stuart Dallas - Old thread
I was not at GP today but glad to hear the encouraging reports on Dallas, saw him in a home game several weeks ago, maybe even back end of last year, and was mightily impressed, and like others am keen to see him get more game time. Def would be an attacking force, and as someone else has said here today, a good footballing brain, intelligent player on the park. Could help see Forshaw moved centrally as many have suggested also.

When we signed Dallas it was made very clear by the management that he was one for the future and would be unlikely to have much game time this season. Subsequently Rosler indicated he was progressing better than expected
His performance today was excellent and I would imagine he has played himself onto the subs bench and gradually more game time
I would prefer that we nursed our young talent to get the best out of them long term, if as suggested we had played him earlier he might have found it to much and not performed at which time various posters on here would have written him off
