WestHamCanadianinOxford Posted April 30, 2022 Share Posted April 30, 2022 No Corbeanu yet. 3-0 for the Dons at halftime, now against 10 men. Doing their part overturn the goal difference deficient. But Rotherham and Wigan winning above them. Probably want things to stay how they are, give Theo a chance at couple or more playoff games. Honestly.

Joe MacCarthy Posted April 30, 2022 Share Posted April 30, 2022 Quick question for anybody familiar with the soccer on TV scene in England. I have access to all the BBC and ITV channels. Who airs games and when on these channels? Are they like HNIC with games back to back one day a week, do they show the lower divisions? Or does someone like SkySports control everything?

Unnamed Trialist Posted April 30, 2022 Share Posted April 30, 2022 (edited) If The Gills can get a goal vs Rotherham in these last 35 minutes, I think that puts MK Dons directly up. I appreciate what you are saying about more games for Theo, @WestHamCanadianinOxfordbut I think being part of a promotion is also a great experience, also something that makes you part of a club's lore. What would it be, the first round home and away and then a Wembly final? Sure, that too would be a great experience, for a young player.

It's even better if you get a chance to do it, playing at Wembley, as you mentioned. Realistically and hopefully this is not his team going forward, I would just love him to get more chances at playing time in huge situations. Rotherham get a second so surely going up.

So in the end they end up in 3rd place. So play Wycombe away first, then home; then would face either Sheffield Wednesday or Sunderland at Wembley, both big teams with large fan bases.

If they promote and he keeps being at least a rotational starter/sub then I think it could be fine. I don’t think he’s shown he’s above the level of Dons.

Not yet, I agree but whole reason you go on loan is that you are hoping to get better and play at a higher level. The Dons are not a team that have ever made a sustained move up the leagues and there is nothing for me to say they will soon. Corbeanu is still young has some of the tools to play at a higher level. I used to watch him a fair bit when his Wolves youth games were on for free at during weekday lunchtimes. No guarentees for any young footballer, it is a brutal world, but I have not given up on something higher for him.

Just to reiterate, because I mostly agree: look at Millar, gone to the Swiss league, regular starter, European competition. Now I do not disagree that him staying on a team in the Championship would be very good, and more so at his age. But a loan--or even sale-- to a top flight in a strong league would also be welcome, following the Millar example.

TOcanadafan Posted May 1, 2022 Share Posted May 1, 2022 A lot of talk here has been on where Theo should move next. I’m more concerned with his development… it seems that it stalled, and he lost confidence this year, and also may not have been rounding out his game and doing the necessary defensive work or following coaches instructions - in both loans, he never gained the trust of the coach (and seemed to fall further down the pecking order) in spite of showing flashes of talent.

He's played his first season as a pro there was always going to be growing pains, above all else he's learning how to be a professional. Before he was playing U-23 ball and battering weaker CONCACAF countries with Canada. I think a few people were expecting or hoping he was going to dominate League One but that was a big ask for a 20 year old entering his first pro season. narduch, TOcanadafan, Obinna and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Floortom Posted May 1, 2022 Share Posted May 1, 2022 He had a few bright moments, but overall I think you have to say it was a slightly disappointing first pro season. One thing to note is that both of his teams were pretty stacked and are in the playoffs. It was a grind for him to get time on the pitch. Will be interesting to see if Dons promote what the plan with Theo is. Not sure he showed enough this year to expect minutes in the Championship sebdeserio 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

youllneverwalkalone Posted May 5, 2022 Share Posted May 5, 2022 Met some MKD fans last night (very interesting in general, perhaps starting from my opening assessment: "it seems everyone hates you and your town, discuss.") They claim the fans love Theo, have several songs for him, and that he's playing great. (They may also have been blowing smoke up my ass as this was a business thing and they had to be polite). ray 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
