Arjan Raikhy

[Oshhhh]

Ricardo to grab this game by the scruff of its neck and smash em 

[StanSP]

I actually think he did okay. He was up against Billing and Scott who are far superior. 

 

He wasn't as bad as made out. But there's a clear difference in quality and experience. 

[Dr The Singh]

Done ok, will have learned alot about himself

[honeybradger]

There's a lot to like on the ball but off the ball he's too brash. Decent first start for him.

Not really. He started off pretty well and wanted the ball and found a few decent passes but the yellow card obviously means it's a good idea to take him off. Not sure why people on here like to slate Young players when they first come into the team, especially as he has actually done ok tonight. 

[5waller5]

I thought he looked decent

[foxes_rule1978]

Put in a good shift and looked good on the ball, the game was a bit quick for him at times and made sense that he was subbed once he got that yellow

Nobody likes to slate young players.

 

Why not just call it as you see it regardless of age - He was absolutely miles off it.

 

Bit concerning if that’s the best we have in the academy at the moment.

I thought he was out of position a lot personally, I think Wanya Marcal has done well

[RonnieTodger]

Looked well off the level, but that’s to be expected. Hopefully a good experience for him.

Miles off it is way over board. Was I amazed by him? No. Did he do OK for his first start against a premier league team? Yes

Pace of the definitely got to him, few of his challenges in lower leagues would be ace. But premier league quality is that smidge quicker 

[Jimmy]

There's something about him I quite like but what ever happens next season he needs to be out on loan playing week in week out

[Lesta2014]

Yard or two slow in the tackle but will have learnt so much tonight. Did okay on the ball, probably stays on for extra 15/20 if not on booking. Sensible from enzo! 

[RowlattsFox]

Think all I've seen him do is foul people. Not an easy position for him to play in this side though. 

[coolhandfox]

Full debut.

 

Let's give the lad a chance.

[moseeds]

He seemed super nervous. Occasion got to him. Hope he gets another chance.

Yes they ****ing do. Any player who spent a second in our academy is slated

Let’s support all these promising young academy players.

I've gone over this before, but that's just nonsense.

 

Take last night in isolation - I'd say the majority had Hamza as their MOTM. Wanya was widely praised. Rightly so on both as well.

 

The Ben Nelson thread is full of people commenting how he's going to be the next big thing...and he's only played a few games! (I'm fully aboard that train as well though btw).

 

Raikhy looked like he was playing in a different time zone last night. Absolutely nowhere near the level. Don't really see anything wrong with expressing that opinion - It's just what I saw on the pitch. It's weird that people get so defensive.

Yes and we agreed to disagree last time. It's not you that people are talking about when they say it. It's match thread, weird opinions about players that have come through our academy etc. There's even negative comments about KDH sometimes and he's the best player in the championship

 

The standard for ex-academy players is way higher than others. But I wasn't commenting on Raikhys performance in particular

[Hammo]

He was out of his depth and Enzo rightly pulled him off. He can learn from it, go back to training and improve. No big drama.
