Vontae Daley-Campbell

[kyleolly]

Played well strong as an ox and quick I think his strength gives a different option compared to our other full backs wouldn’t Chuck him in against mane and Robertson on Saturday though

[SouthStandUpperTier]

Obviously being liberated from Beagleball does wonders for a player.

He's been pretty pony for the U23's but then like I said before kick off, Dewsbury-Hall wasn't that good for them either and now he's doing all sorts in the Championship. This tattoo could be a real possibility FFS.

You're forgiven for your contribution in the James Justin thread. A lot of nonsense discussed about knees and then you come in with some solid first hand experience of what it's actually like. Exactly the content I come here for.

Nice to see a young lad come in and not be afraid to carry the ball forwards with conviction.
Last one we promoted with that sort of intent was a certain Mr. Barnes, and that turned out alright. 

Agree with the other posters - a loan would do him good. But since Luke Thomas came straight in and has performed well when called upon, maybe a gradual feeding into first-team action could work with Vontae too - he certainly has the potential on that showing, though admittedly it was gonna be easy to stand out in an otherwise pretty meh overall team performance.

[Cincinnati Fox]

Was ok, not much more. Will be interesting to see if he can step up

[Mythyaar]

A Schlupp-esque performance there 👏👏👏

[Jobyfox]

It was difficult for him tonight as there was no shape of fluidity to anything that we did. It's difficult to fit into an eleven when there are so many poor performances. 

 

Given these circumstances he didn't let himself down. It was a game when the 6/10 performers were close to being motm. Thomas was the one who I thought was largely invisible tonight, although not the only one by any means.

If anything it gets him out the u23s for a while which is good for his career. For his debut in a dodgy formation he did fine.

Not just cos they're talking about him on BT Sport but I think considering this was his first game and getting 90 mins, I think he did commendably. 

 

Went quiet for a bit and looked dead on his feet towards the end. Defended well and also played his part in getting the corner leading to the goal. Considering some of the handballs not given, I don't think what he did can be given either. 

 

Onwards and upwards

Whilst I think he was solid, his positioning left a lot to be desired in a lot of counters. Could be Amartey at fault for not covering, but that’s what I picked up on.

 

 Nonetheless, very solid and very tidy on the ball! Hope he kicks on.

[majaco]

I thought he was ok.

[Pliskin]

He did well, went about his business without doing anything wrong. He’s a strong runner which will serve him well going forward. Could have a handy future if he gets his head down. 

[Poiseuille]

Looked good, not a MOTM performance but nobody really stood out tbh.

 

Was surprised how knackered he was last 30 mins. When did he last play? I thought the youngsters are fitter?

Gave the ball away towards the end which could have been a goal scoring opportunity. 
Definitely a player in there though. A (normal) season loan could do wonders for his progression.

[Dr The Singh]

Can he play left back?

Nervous energy. 

 

Most debutants are blowing after 20 mins such is the mental stress

[South Shire Fox]

Barely touched the ball first half but grew into the game in the second. Promising seeing him bombing on forward dribbling past players with pace. Hopefully next season will get a championship loan to help his development!

[turlo]

Is he registered for the Europa League? We might need him next week with Injuries to Castange and Justin (fingers crossed not to bad)

[Steve Earle]

Obviously not MOTM, but much, much better than I thought he could possibly be, based on admittedly few viewings of U23 games. Well played VDC.

[Izzy]

Great name btw

The tempo and intensity in a under23 game isn’t as high as full first team game

I’m sorry but in what way . I didn’t see any thing remotely similar to Schlupp 

[egg_fried_rice]

Wing backs were not in it at all first half, but that was due to our shape, not the individual players. Grew into the game in the second half and didn't look out of place at all. Carried the ball forward well and overall cam be very pleased with his first team debut. Well done to the lad.

Linked well out wide, great pace, also physical presence.Superb to see him out muscle his man in the last 5 mins. 

 

Sorry, but you're wrong.

You see the Jeff Schlupp I remember would go past players then put the ball into row z . And when he played wing back often dived in to tackles and got done,  none of which Campbell did  . And I don’t recall Jeff’s link up play being  all that . So that leaves pace and strength  to which I would say Jeff is definitely quicker and stronger that’s why I don’t see the comparisons.

Think you're doing him a disservice. He played 30 odd games in our championship winning year and recall that he linked up pretty well with Fuchs in particular. Held the ball up well too. Yes, he was a headless chicken in front of goal, but out wide either lb or lm he did a job.
