Development squad

Kazenga good enough for DS but not first team.

I think he has other things on his mind at the moment which is affecting his game.

Ah so they are both u18?

they're both 17 i do believe, clearly too young for dev squad!

Kazenga good enough for DS but not first team.

Well each to their own, Gus loves having him as an option on the bench, he's a game changer in my view

73: Williams makes a triple change. Battipiedi, Goodwin and Ince on for Rodgers, Richards and Agdestein

 

[bn1&bn3 Albion]

Kazenga good enough for DS but not first team.

Great game changer but not good enough to start.

Where's the Icelandic fella disappeared too?

Well, once in the black hole of the DS, all those with promise tend to merge into obscurity, Toby for instance, the Icelandic geezer, I just hope when the Academy site is done that we see some actual development, not just talk of it.

82: GOAL! Sampayo heads the ball down for Ince and the defender finds the top right corner with a classy volley

Ince looks quality, Toby looking v good at the moment and Lua Lua just needs a good run in the team, he is quality

90+2: Barker chases up Goodwin's flick to add his second goal and Albion fourth

Great win for the DS

FT: Goals from Barker (2), March and Ince earned Albion's development squad and six successive win against Barnet.

I think he has other things on his mind at the moment which is affecting his game.

He seems to have lost his burst of speed and the ability to beat a man. He was very quick probably as quick as Buckley but sadly he isn't now and is caught by most full backs unless of course Championship full backs are quicker than Div 1. He is still capable of going past a player on the odd occasion over about 5 yds but never seems to show it when he has come on as a sub.

he is playing with the youth squad for the remainder of this season and will move up in the summer to the DS.

Had a chat with Battipiedi when he warming up just before half-time, very nice lad as well with a considerably better grasp of English than our current no.15. He has been out for 6 months with a cruciate ligament injury and was very grateful to get a 2nd chance in the development squad, hopes he can get another contract next season.

Asked him about Baz and said he thought he was playing in Argentina but had lost contact with him.

Dunk was pick of the players, Brez nearly created a howler towards the end and to be honest I thought Lua Lua was quite a cock at times.

I should add if you had looked at the team board you would have seen a formidable no.5 for Goring Rangers yesterday who won their Cup Final 5-4 AET with a winner in the 119th minute, that player was Junior Hut no less

Thanks, i'm not usually a lazy bugger......got pulled away from PC, and i knew that when i returned i would forget to look it up. Thanks again, now saved in bookmarks.

Attitude more than anything, he is not exactly setting the world alight in footballing terms and clearly has some other issues which have been in the press.

I would suggest he takes a long hard look at himself and decide if he really wants to move on or perhaps he does not.

I agree, unfortunately he is in with the wrong crowd and despite being down here for some time it would seem that he enjoys spending too much of his spare time with a load of knob heads in Newcastle. The same people that are mates with Nile Ranger.

 

[Mackenzie]

Good to see Barker scoring against Barnet.

 

[mune ni kamome]

Match report: Bloody freezing with unbelievable amounts of chips and ketchup consumed.

Huge gulf between the teams but it took a long time for the second goal to go in and make the game safe. I thought Kaz had a bit of attitude too I'm afraid despite his obvious class. Excellent performances from Barker and March and Ince looks immense in both size and skill even though only on for 20 minutes. Dunk was impressive but as usual booked for a bad tackle. Nice to see Ulloa there on a cold night like that, posing for photos with fans.

 

[Cheeky Monkey]

To be fair to Kaz, it's a bit of a transition mentally from St James's Park to Culver Road and playing in a DS team in front of Beach Hut, three others and two dogs on a Monday night when the rest if the World is at home on the sofa watching mindless, spirit crushing game shows while stuffing their faces with junk food, nothing more than an embarrassment to the..........choosing DIY and leisurewear on a Sunday morning.........but why would I want to do that?
