We need to win a few for that to happen. Get 4 from points from these next 2 games like we should do and it would be good for these lads I agree. Agree about needing wins before we experiment but I find it difficult to believe that Wright Phillips is behind Matondo in his development and aren't they of a similar age? But Matondo is a a MON signing...

I don't think that matters. Football is all about pigeon holing isn't it? One was bought for the first team, one was bought for the u23s. It will take a lot of work for the one bought for the u23s to move up to the first team.

Matondo has played for Schalke so has more experience.

I wondered about him, he certainly had a good game and worked the whole back four positions. Impressive young player. I like how he brings the ball out of the defence. Me too, very assured. My niece told me yesterday that he was pretty adept at bringing his dinner up once upon a time, he chucked up all over her They were only about 5 at the time, a lot of kids probably have such moments at that age. It has given her a phobia about vomit tho, anybodies, even the dog She's now thinking she should have kept hold of the vomit covered cardigan lol

Spoke to my Chester supporting mate this week about both of them. "I hear you've had one of our youngsters on loan?" "Oh yeah, the defender. He's a good prospect" "And we've just signed one of your strikers, Goodwin. What's he like?" "A good prospect"

Goodwin looked like a pub player when he came on Monday, he is young and raw so has much room for improvement.

I thought Norwich on the whole were very poor. But they were really dangerous on the break, after corners, as they went forward with excessive pace, as if they were qualifying for Tokyo. But the team had limnited ability, none of them looked likely to make into their first team's smooth footballing machine. Whereas our boys...have several players that could make the first team, as soon as an opening appears. This has to be the best U23 squad we have had since the U23 set up was started for PL clubs. Especially when you think that about 6 of the first team squad are also eligible for the U23s by right and not as overage players. I disagree. The previous academy squad that you partially refer to included Edwards, Souttar, Tymon, Sorensen, Verlinden, Bursik and others, some of them on and off as they went on loan, but they took us to the fa youth cup semifinals, and played some amazing football. The current squad may do so yet, most of them are in their first senior year, but I wouldn't herald them just yet.

So they've got their 1st team captain in defence and also Romanian capped Forward (signed from Inter Milan) playing, lets hope Conor Taylor is on his toes at the back.

Bar the change of goalie, it's an unchanged outfield side, and it now looks like they have settled on a 4-3-3 system, which should have been an excellent mirror of the first team manager's preferred system, except he's gone and changed his own team' system again...

Is it too early to suggest Wright Phillips should be getting first team game time, or am I just hysterically going down the road of 'Oh look, kid...scoring goals...get him in the team....' ?

Easy to just look at a few games and get all giddy. The lad obviously has something about him though.

He's barely played any football this season so needs more games at this level for sure right now but I liked the look of him in his other two games.
He didn't do much but what he did do he did well. And his goal against Burnley I would expect most of the first team to fuck up.
