Reserves tonight

[Little Nicky]

He's certainly capable of playing there. He's very composed on the ball and is excellent going forward. Would be a better option than Makin.

...but would he be as good as Canero going forward?

44282[/snapback]

Canero is injured at the mo anyway. Well, I assume so

So if Stearman proves to be better than Makin, get him in!

44291[/snapback]

It certainly is nice to see that CL believes we need a solid right back, as Makin is a donkey! Canero is a strange one, other that having 'personal problems' I can't see what's up there as there has been no mention of an injury, surely we'd have known if he was injured as we're constantly informed of others' progress in these situations

[Ric Flair]

I doubt Levein thinks Stearman's best position is right back, but with Canero injured and Makin also a regular menace he possibily needs back-up there. Sounds like he played well, get him in!! Wesolowski has been playing at right back in the reserves recently so he could also fill in, I wonder whether Wesolowski will make it. He hasn't ever really been mentioned by any of the management staff, I know he's only 17 but after such talk when he first arrived there hasn't been the same fascanation since.

Wesolowski is the one all the Australians rate as their best player. Better than Kewell at the same age.

44343[/snapback]

I've only seen him about three times and every time i've seen him he's looked good. His physique is one of his best attributes as he's only small but he's stocky and he can boss the midfield, I would like to see him as a right midfielder.

Then again that doesn't say much does it? 'cause how many Australians do you actually know that are genuinely interested and into football (our kind, not theirs!)?

Wesolowski is hopefully going to develop into a class player, but now's the time that he should really push on.

I seem to recall that he was praised and hailed as one of the academy's big hopes some time back (though it's so unclear in my memory so I can't tell you if that was pre- or post-administration )...

[Mad Dog]

Porter was our outstanding player yesterday. Looked a cut above everybody else on the pitch

[Ric Flair]

Did you go the game Mad Dog? That's some distance to travel to watch the ressies, i'm impressed!

Wesolowski was signed by Alan Hill our ex-academy director before administration, he was made redundant when we went in to admin. That's a real shame as he was academy director at Leeds before he came to us and is highly regarded as one of the best in england. He bought Wesolowski and Petrescu over here, both with fantastic futures in football. Petrescu has fallen by the waist side, let's hope Wesolowski doesn't do the same. He looks determined to make it.

Who played at centre back if Stearman played at right back? Heath and Butcher? Or Heath and Wesolowski?

[Mad Dog]

No thats from my mate who's at east anglia uni and so went to watch it in norwich. he said that Porter was awesome, and wesolowski was good. He said Wright looked pretty rubbish though.

[Scow]

I don't know what it is with Wright - He does seem to be a goalscorer, but his general all round play doesn't seem up to scratch when I've seen him. He finds it difficult to hold off defenders and make an impression.

I watched the under 19's a few months ago when they lost 1-0 I think and Prter was immense. One of the most inspiring performances i'd seen from a little player in ages. The problem is his height, I think managers and coaches are afraid to throw a small player in to the frame and it's stupid as most small players have the quickest feet you'll ever see. He has the skill to make it, but his attitude is a problem.

What did your mate think to Stearman and Dawson?

Wright bothers me, whenever i've seen him he looks useful. But it seems whenever I don't go the reserve matches he has a shocker.

I'd much prefer to see Stearman at center back, than right back !

If RB is the only position he can get a game in, then I say let him play at RB. :w00t: :w00t:

What if he plays poorly at RB , then that may stop him getting picked at al,l in the future

There is that to it. However I think CL recognises that if Stearman does play RB it is only a fill-in situation and I hope it would not have a long term bad effect on any City career.

Exactly, it wouldn't ruin him. A tall skinny player isn't exactly cut out for a long term future at right back but perhaps Levein see's an opportunity to give him a gfew first team games if there is problems with Makin at right back. Having said that Stearman is good on the ball and I could see him being pretty handy wherever he played in defence or midfield.

He has played at full back a few times for the youth team, infact I think that was his position he started off at.

I know they are, but if Stearman played at right back, who played at centre back with Heath??

[Scow]

Liam Norval probably.

[Mark]

Stearman Heath Sheehan Norvall

Maybe? I dont know, as i thought Norvall was a right back

Sheehan usually plays left back I think.
