The lad bagged 6 goals in 17 games from right/left back. Not bad for first stint in mens football. Yet not given a chance at QPR with Drewe ahead of him, I haven't seen enough of him to judge but perhaps too little too late (tho still 21)? Hope we didn't drop the ball on this one [Post edited 15 May 12:01]

Yeah, i imagine half the youth contracts given out are just to make up the numbers to field a team for the following yr with the hope of being surprised whilst main focus is pinned on one or two. Or maybe that's being too cynical. [Post edited 13 May 14:08]

Whenever i saw Micah Anthony i thought he looked decent, scoring a few goals from left wing, still a teenager, but hey i'm sure they know best.
As above, by 19-20 they should have played some mens football as the pace & physicality of that Dev squad league is a different world. [Post edited 13 May 11:48]

I understand he had a long layoff after his national league spell which he did well by all accounts. So another yr on a low wage to see how he can further develop.. yeah why not [Post edited 12 May 13:21]

I find it intriguing that a guy who was probably the best player in his school by far, coached by a pro team since age of 8, could turn up at a 5-a side game and tear most to shreds, is then so far off what it takes for championship /L1 club.
Goes to show the levels to this game and how good the top players really are. At his age he needs real game experience, good luck to him. [Post edited 9 May 19:44]

With the season slog now done we can relax, recover and speculate with renewed hope for next season. Football wise us fans have the Euros till mid July, by which time the R’s will be back pre-season and the cycle starts again.
For the players, I suppose they’ll get some kind of off-season plan to not come back totally out of shape + I know a lot do their own individual work football wise. Either way it’s a decent 8-10 week break for them.
How will you guys be spending the off season, I partly enjoy the emotional break from all things R’s, especially this season, but come August ready to go through it all again. |

Do you guys ever feel its just part of the club cycle, what will be will be, and there'll always be a another season, and another after that (as long as we don't do a Bury).
I remember at the deepest lows of that league 1 era battered at home to Cardiff after recently Vauxhall Motors, club was dead rangers were gone, finished.. ended the season in the playoff final, promoted next and we were in the prem within 8 yrs. |

Decent strategy, picking off the PL cast offs with a point to prove. |

Great goal from the left winger, is that a trialist? |

Tuning in. No Micah Antony who i felt looked quite impressive recently, hope he gets a shot next season. |

I sometimes think if a team like us were to have a barnstorming season and get promoted, why not just pocket the £100m with minimal player spend or hoover up some young potential, pay off all debts / build a new stadium, invest in academy etc.
It'll be over by Christmas but longevity surely secure ready for another go. |

He has earned the right for a free swing at next season on his terms with buy-in from all the club. For a young manager with something to prove that is gold, barring some outlandish out of character demands or boardroom bust-up i just don't see him going anywhere. He has earned the position to now mold his team, this is what he worked for. [Post edited 29 Apr 21:01]

I often think this yet there are so many variables / moving pieces and elements of chance at play. Of course those players would have wanted to play like that in every game, just like Leeds did not intentionally turn-up and play like they just met for the first 30mins.
Was it because we were that good on the day or they were a bit shit, probably a bit of both.
If Rodon doesn't stick his chest out keeper saves it, if Sommerville tucks that in at the back post its a different game. So many factors can change the course of the game, we just kept doing more of the right thing than they did. Home support, 2 days extra rest, mid game momentum, missed chances, so many random things that on this occasion we took advantage of and turned into a great night. [Post edited 29 Apr 11:58]

Agree, excited to see what can now be built with the pressure eased and some room for new players / trying new things. Playing with freedom is when the real magic can happen. |
