stockyfox Posted 9 August 2011 Posted 9 August 2011 Schlupp should be given an extended run starting Saturday. We know he has potential and tonight he has given us further evidence of that. We have a strong set-up and he will get excellent support from the others. There is no better way of learning than 'hands-on' (or should it be 'feet-on') experience. Give him that experience. Why spend millions of £'s when you've got a raw talent like him on your books? We have an excellent Academy. We should show faith in the Academy. Why develop players only for them to go elsewhere? He could be - No, he WILL be the find of the season!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
MC Prussian Posted 9 August 2011 Posted 9 August 2011 To celebrate the occasion, I just boosted Schlupp's stats on FIFA 11 from 50 to a massive 57.
thybluefox Posted 9 August 2011 Posted 9 August 2011 Sigh. Sorry, yes he's a fantastic prospect, but he's not ready to make the step up. Drop him in the deep end too soon and it could ruin him. He needs to be spoon fed first team experiences to get his confidence up.
Charl91 Posted 9 August 2011 Posted 9 August 2011 He does have a lot of potential, but still let's not get too excited just yet. Lets see how he can fare in the championship first!
StarFox Posted 9 August 2011 Posted 9 August 2011 Sigh. Sorry, yes he's a fantastic prospect, but he's not ready to make the step up. Drop him in the deep end too soon and it could ruin him. He needs to be spoon fed first team experiences to get his confidence up. Don't be boring. Schlupp has something that no other striker has in our squad right now and that is confidence. That probably makes him the striker with the most potential to score at the weekend. Plus if we waited then he may never get a better opportunity to make a good impression again, especially with all these rumours of bringing in a new striker and all.
Nath Posted 9 August 2011 Posted 9 August 2011 I don't think our academy is THAT good... We haven't produce anyone that's made it big since.... Heskey?
Fox92 Posted 9 August 2011 Posted 9 August 2011 Sigh. Sorry, yes he's a fantastic prospect, but he's not ready to make the step up. Drop him in the deep end too soon and it could ruin him. He needs to be spoon fed first team experiences to get his confidence up. Agree 100%. I'd sign another striker still.
danfox76 Posted 9 August 2011 Posted 9 August 2011 Bet that performance has silenced his pre-season critics.
Jace Posted 9 August 2011 Posted 9 August 2011 3 goals and 3 threads about him hes had some night, wherever he is the missing link/striker in this potential promotion winning leicester team? will not be convinced myself until he proves himself against top championship competition, wouldnt be suprised to see him feature against reading or bristol though
Haydos Posted 9 August 2011 Posted 9 August 2011 We're all football managers that know the players at our club and see them every day lalalalalalalalala. (we're not really)
Fez of Mahrez Posted 9 August 2011 Posted 9 August 2011 Saw him loads in the youth team and he always drifted in and out of games with the occasional explosive burst but he's really bulked up by the look of the highlights tonight. Took his goals well, deserves a spot on the bench for sure. Money or no money, we don't want another Gradel situation.
sdb Posted 9 August 2011 Posted 9 August 2011 Shouldn't rush him, or let it go to his head. Should be in Saturdays 16, no more...yet. Fingers crossed, but I remember waxing lyrical about Matt Piper, Tommy Wright (the 2nd), Mattock, Stevenson and other players that have gone on to do f-all!
Narborough_fox Posted 9 August 2011 Posted 9 August 2011 10-15 minutes on Saturday or Tuesday if we are winning wouldn't do him any harm at all.

He could be - No, he WILL be the find of the season!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The problem for Sven is he needs success now. I very much doubt he will be staking his reputation on an 18 year old academy graduate however promising. It is a shame and I hope he is given a chance, however a Maynard type is still needed I think.
stockyfox Posted 9 August 2011 Author Posted 9 August 2011 I would like to see him come on after say 60 mins on Sat. Reading could well prove to be one of the strongest teams we face this season, even without Long and Mills! So let him savour the atmosphere, get the adrenalin flowing and then let's give him a fantastic ovation when he comes on!

So let him savour the atmosphere, get the adrenalin flowing and then let's give him a fantastic ovation when he comes on! Oi Pete, I'm not saying they're a walk in the park, but don't overestimate Reading either: a) Mills plays for us now b) Long's made it to the Premier League and he was their best striker last season c) If you believe Reading are good, wait until you've seen Ipswich, West Ham, Blackpool, Southampton or Brighton... They're the ones I fear most. As for Schlupp playing on Saturday, I don't know. I'd rather give him more playing time in cup competitions. That'd do him much more good than sitting on the bench in a league game for most part.
MC Prussian Posted 9 August 2011 Posted 9 August 2011 anyone uploaded the goals? Check out davieG's stuff.
stockyfox Posted 9 August 2011 Author Posted 9 August 2011 a) Mills plays for us now c) If you believe Reading are good, wait until you've seen Ipswich, West Ham, Blackpool, Southampton or Brighton... They're the ones I fear mo A***! I know Mills plays for us but he has been known to score goals for the opposition - so the rumour goes! Nevertheless, Reading are still a force to be reckoned with. Still, we always agree to disagree don't we? I take it you will be there on Saturday? We'll be there about 1-45pm.
Danglo Posted 9 August 2011 Posted 9 August 2011 Whether he's ready or not, the one thing I liked about him on the replays tonight was his finishing. He was clinical. The header for the second was so well placed into the corner from a slow cross, that was deadly finishing. The first was excellent composure & a sublime finish, the 3rd was opportunistic he was miles ahead of their defender. All round. Impressed.
