Fuchs has never been blessed with pace, don’t think it’s good to be relying on a player that gets slower every season and that was the most taken on defender in 16/17. For young players to develop they need game time. Only time will tell how good he is against the “better teams” 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yup, if not on loan next season I’d be disappointed not to see him in the squad for early rounds of league cup and fa cup! We have to continue his progress, binned in the u23s for season not good enough so I’d send him on loan in jan. saying January because fuchs and chilwell potentially out until then so he only fit left back in the club!

fuchsntf Posted 18 July 2020 Share Posted 18 July 2020 So we have Now L.Thomas,Ricardo,Justin, Fuchs & Chilwell....FBs.. also potential WBacks. Add Barnes,Gray,Albrighton...W.Backs,potential Frontline .... Tielemans,Praet,Choudhury,Ndid,Mendy,Maddison (Ayrez when behind strikers)..AM and DM This is the best reasonable Quality Competition & Cover vor selection we have had for years The first 12-13 players Don t get & Keep you in the that First 8 competing consistently over seasons... But even with the KP-family & Brand,behind us,we still expected can throw Money around.... WE defo need another Top striker, with Bennet & Morgan in the Background,we need a young Quality CB, unless we can get Benkovic filling that hole and competing,with Evans &Soyu, then just another young CB in the eyeline.. So Money for a striker ,another quality midfielder ,I suppose would be our priority... Luke Thomas Development has helped us in not panicking for FBs...

Hamza will not step up. I would love it if he suddenly became good enough for our starting XI, but honestly he is far too limited to break through in the Prem. The role he currently has in our squad, especially considering our style, is his ceiling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He could be a regular in the prem at a different club.. the problem is not him, it’s who is in front of him...

shade Posted 19 July 2020 Share Posted 19 July 2020 (edited) it's not how badly he's playing that's winding me up, it's how he's jogging back when they're attacking, seriously what's he doing? Edited 19 July 2020 by shade 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post StanSP Posted 19 July 2020 Popular Post Share Posted 19 July 2020 As if he's getting pelters already Our fan base never ceases to amaze me. Disgusting. What ever happened to giving players a chance? He's been drafted in and after a comfortable debut he's being blamed for losing against a side we rarely do well against away from home? Lay off him ffs. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post SecretPro Posted 19 July 2020 Popular Post Share Posted 19 July 2020 Thomas isn't the issue, hes created most of our forward play. Having complete pub players like Ryan ****ing Bennett in your team is the problem. 10 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sdb Posted 19 July 2020 Share Posted 19 July 2020 Looks good going forward. Great cross on him. Playing alongside those 3 centre halves isn't gonna teach him much good though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corky Posted 19 July 2020 Share Posted 19 July 2020 He did lose the ball twice but both occasions it was at least 60 yards from our goal. Of course he's got a lot to learn but what other option did we have? Chilwell, Fuchs and Albrighton all out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arriba Los Zorros Posted 19 July 2020 Share Posted 19 July 2020 Hmmm fair enough didn't realise about Fuchs. I think Brendan has to hook Thomas at HT and change formation. He's been thrown in the deep end and unfortunately cost us this game with his errors. He will get more chances but for now he needs to get off before confidence is further shot.

Captain... Posted 19 July 2020 Share Posted 19 July 2020 Very impressed by him, looks to get the ball in quickly or pick a pass, not just float in aimless ball after the defence is set. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hales Posted 19 July 2020 Share Posted 19 July 2020 Chilwell #2 already, blimey you lot are quick. He has just been rushed into the first team as we have no other options and have lost all our full backs. Give him a chance! After last game you all wanted Chilly binned and him in! I think given the situation he is doing well, showing confidence and not looking terrified. Get behind him for goodness sake! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fightforever Posted 19 July 2020 Share Posted 19 July 2020 He's good for a 19 year old. By 25 he will be a great player why are people so pissed its hardly as if he thought he would be in the first team by now wasn't he playing u18s football a year ago 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Posted 19 July 2020 Share Posted 19 July 2020 I think this just highlights how important a loan is so he can make the step up, he didn't put a foot wrong for the first half hour, linking up well and created numerous chances with some great crosses. Mistakes should ideally be made at lower level (not the u23s) where he's less likely to be punished every time. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
