toontownman Posted July 10 Share Posted July 10 Definitely down with him getting minutes. Starting would be quite the statement and pressure. I hope the likes of Bair and JRR get similar treatment to follow Ahmed and Choiniere.

AvroArrow Posted July 14 Share Posted July 14 Played well. Marshe has a tendency to sub out players on yellows, so that may have gotten him subbed along with the potential desire to bring on some experience. Canuckia 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grew into the game, some important tackles in the box, stayed with their attackers and good distribution. Hopefully means a good loan move, he could stay on the bench but Fulham should have some money to get another CB.

EJsens1 Posted July 14 Share Posted July 14 I thought he looked nervous early but after that great stop on Nunez in the box, playing on a yellow, he was very strong and composed. I’d like to see more but to step in like he did and perform was very impressive. Our back line looks very good going forward GasPed, Grandbloke, Ottawafan and 12 others 15 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Beaver 2.0 Posted July 14 Share Posted July 14 He looked a bit nervous for the first 20 or so minutes, but then he got into the game, had a great tackle on Nunez, and then later on Suarez. Not a bad day's work, taking on those two. That should build his confidence. Only 18! Can't wait to see how this kid grows.

And how great was it seeing Ali talking him up. Ha! YorkRegionFan 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bigandy Posted July 14 Share Posted July 14 Many people posted that he’s just some prospect who is our 26th ish player. Not here on merit. I think his performance proves that he is now our 2nd choice at rcb after bombito.

Approve My Account Pls Posted July 14 Share Posted July 14 Thought he grew into the match really well after the yellow. Pretty tall kid too! Once he fills into that frame he's going to be solid jhoops__, mpg_29, johnyb and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CanadaFan123 Posted July 14 Share Posted July 14 Probably the best CB prospect we’ve ever had at this age? Can’t recall us ever starting someone that young at CB. Incredible experience for him these past couple months. Now it’s up to him to earn some first team football at a good level. A League 1 or 2 loan would be a shame because it’ll push him down the depth chart in the short term imo. johnyb 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When people say our depth has improved they forget we had a player in the premier league who we just didn’t call for years, yet now we have a 18 year old CB who hasn’t played a league match start for us. Ironic. Edit: Doneil Henry got his first cap at 19 (friendly v T&T). Straith was also capped at 19 but we used him as RB.

Kamal Miller has good moments, but I was really impressed with how precise his tackles were. Couple plays I was bracing for a card, but the replay showed he timed it perfectly. Takes a lot of confidence to take the ball off of a player like Darwin Nunez in the box so aggressively. Think Fulham should take note of how he looks against top premier league players and keep that in mind as next season starts. 28 minutes ago, frattinator said: I could be wrong but this officially cap tie him to us for good right?

CanadaFan123 Posted July 14 Share Posted July 14 We have to feel extremely fortunate that he decisively chose Canada at such a young age. Surely he would be on England’s radar for youth footy similar to Jebbison, McGill etc. and at 18 the sky is the limit.

narduch Posted July 14 Share Posted July 14 (edited) Not to be a wet blanket but he definitely needs to start getting professional minutes. Still also a bit of a shame that we couldn't take him to the U20 qualifying.

He showed he could compete vs Ipswich in the 1 cup game he played and yesterday vs much stronger opposition. I really like how he steps up into gaps with the ball to open up passing options. Not slow, looks at least 6' now, good on the ball and what a tackle on Nunez. Can't expect much more from an 18yr old CB with 1 pro game.

WestHamCanadianinOxford Posted July 14 Share Posted July 14 The intelligence and ball-playing skill is there. He is more mature physically even from March. Growing actually made him lose a bit of pace - a bit awkward - if I compare the beginning of last season to March to now. But that is coming back it looked like. Should be able to add mass. Centre back is very much a learned position and like Bombito, he just needs reps. We had 2 young centre backs at decent clubs, that each had a depth crisis at centre back - him and Knight-Lebel. So they spent time on the first team bench but it also meant they couldn't go out on loan. Knight-Lebel got his loan, hoping for the same, ideally Championship for this guy.

TGAA_Star Posted July 14 Share Posted July 14 The fact that LDF is only 18 is shocking if from the standpoint that he looks poised and looked rather effective out there...it only speaks to just how good he can be especially heading to 2026 where he will be 20 years old by the time the tournament starts in our backyard.

Obinna Posted July 14 Share Posted July 14 Would it be crazy for him to remain and Fulham and get minutes? He made the bench over a dozen times last year and played a full 90 in the League Cup. Now, he just won his 2nd cap defending Darwin Nuñez in a 2-2 regulation draw with Uruguay in the Copa America. If you're Fulham, you must have watched that and questioned whether he is ready for EPL minutes now, no?

If you're Fulham, you must have watched that and questioned whether he is ready for EPL minutes now, no? I think they will give him a shot in preseason and if they don’t think he is fully ready, they will loan him in August, likely to a Championship squad or similar level in Europe.

But you have to think they use some of the Palhinha money to buy 1 maybe 2 centrebacks. TGAA_Star and Obinna 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
