A fox for life Posted 10 May 2006 Share Posted 10 May 2006 i think we should use our youth squad in plenty of friendlys!! but then again, didn't akinbadbye score like three in the pre-season and we all thought he would be awesome Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ric Flair Posted 10 May 2006 Share Posted 10 May 2006 Having just watched the extensive highlights from last nights game I think it's fair to say Dodds ripped them apart. Scored 3, hit the bar once and the post twice. He also set lots of chances up. King and Porter also hit the woodwork and Gradel missed an open goal and went on an 80 yard run that led to skimming the post. Should have been double figures last night. I think he should be loaned out next season, maybe a League Two club or Rushden in the conference if no league teams dare take him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

filbertway Posted 10 May 2006 Share Posted 10 May 2006 Whoever was playing right wing for leicester cannot shoot. Dodds looked very composed i front of goal and seem to be a good finisher. Which is good to have when we have creators in hume and fryatt. I say give dodds the nod ahead of O'Grady. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
potter3 Posted 10 May 2006 Share Posted 10 May 2006 Wasn't Sylla playing right wing, it looked like him & it was number 7, Dodds 3rd goal was the best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ric Flair Posted 10 May 2006 Share Posted 10 May 2006 Number 7 was Max Gradel, who does look alot like Sylla but luckily isn't as crap as him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jonbluefox9 Posted 10 May 2006 Share Posted 10 May 2006 As Ric Flair said, he's got to go out and get some first team experience next season. He's proved himself at youth level for a few seasons now and reserve team level too especially this season. The next step up for him has to be first team football out on loan. He's been training with the first team squad so it's not like he's gone without notice and Rob Kelly was there last night and at the recent Ipswich reserve game in which Dodds scored so he'll have taken note. Filbertway, if you think Gradel can't shoot you obviously haven't seen his overhead kick against MK Dons two Staurdays ago. He had a bit of an off night last night but he's a very tricky player and is like an extra striker at times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well i'm only judging him on that one game but he didn't event hit the target once did he, maybe its a sign he can't do it against men? Anyway apart from his shooting he looked a very good player, skillful and fast, a bit like coalvilles number 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyway apart from his shooting he looked a very good player, skillful and fast, a bit like coalvilles number 3 I think it was more of a sign that this was his last match of a long season. His miss from close range was nothing to do with the opposition, there was no-one within 5 yards of him, if anything the ball took a bobble and he hit it with his shin. He is a bit lightweight in comparison with some of the Coalville players but I think his ability to out pace people meant this wasn't so much of a problem for him.

Louise Posted 10 May 2006 Share Posted 10 May 2006 I suppose the best thing for Dodds would be to go out on loan for half a season and then come back and (like O'Grady did this season) try and establish himself in the sixteen. Unfortunately O'Grady had been on loan before last season as well, and made a first team appearance, whereas Dodds hasn't and only has one year left on his contract now to impress, so things might have to be done a bit differently.

teblin Posted 10 May 2006 Share Posted 10 May 2006 went to see how good this youth team were last night. Was very impress with Dodds. Adam wykes looked very usefull too. Gradel was quick. Not sure sheehan will make it though looked too slow to me. Sign up the coalville number 3!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Posted 10 May 2006 Share Posted 10 May 2006 Just watched the highlights, obviously not the best of oppositions but 3 brilliant finishes from Dodds, beggers belief why he hasn't made an appearance for us yet, or even sent out on loan. Gradel looked impressive again, he should have got an opportunity on either wing at the end of last season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
