vs Coventry City (A) Championship (Round 31) 14.02.2012
Adam Smith played 74 minutes in the right back position as Leeds lost 2-1. Throughout the game Adam took throw ins and free kicks and got in a few crosses. He had a hard time up against Gary McSheffrey.

Adam Smith conceded possession and left his side exposed on the right wing and vulnerable to another header.

Gary McSheffrey was also passing Adam Smith with ease at every opportunity.

That Nimley caused us problems all night and Mcsheffrey was having the better of Smith.

If the game is so streched why have we brought O'Brien on for Smith? (Tactical - not injured)

Since Leeds sacked Simon Grayson 2 weeks ago, and Neil Redfearn took over as caretaker manager, Andros Townsend has lost his place in the first team and been on the bench every game. Once more he was an unused substitute and it seems his chances will be limited until Leeds hire a new manager.

why doesnt townsend start

Because...he's not as... defensively minded as Pugh? Honestly GHod knows

Obviously i thought Redfearns tactics and subs were shocking, Townsend should have started / if not come on.

David Button played the whole game as Doncaster lost 3-1. The promising young keeper made a couple of good saves during the game and was given a rating of 6 out of 10 by the Doncaster Free Press.

On-loan Rovers goalkeeper David Button, outstanding against the Tigers, saved well from Novan dingdongo three minutes later.

vs West Ham (A) Championship (Round 31) 14.02.2012
Yago was once more not even on the bench as Southampton drew 1-1. He had played earlier in the day for Southampton U-21s vs Brighton U-21s in a 0-0 draw. Saints fans don't see a way back into the team for him.

to be blunt I cant see where Steve De Ridder, Dan Harding and Falque will fit into our plans now, except in a real injury crisis.

Falque should offer the sort of passing options at the top of the field... but I question whether they were the right signings to make at this time.

Sharp will come good and tadanari will get his chance, as will De Ridder again. Just leaves Falque out in the cold, says something about the squad right now!

Dean Parrett played the whole game and was booked in the 84th minute for persistent fouling as Yeovil won 3-2. No much mention of him in match reports or fan forums which suggests to me he didn't have a particularly bad or outstanding game.

vs Wycombe Wanderers (A) League One (Round 30) 14.02.2012
Obika got his first assist of the season, to help equalise the score to 1-1, as Yeovil won 3-2. He played the whole game, other than a few seconds at the end and was booked in the 87th minute for encroachment.

Jonathan Obika's low cross was touched by Chairboys goalkeeper Nikki Bull only for Williams to tap into the empty net.

Obika's first touch was frustrating, but to be fair he was working on scraps and hoof-balls, unlucky not to score tonight at times, but provided good hold up play.

Bostock was not in the match squad as Sheffield Wednesday lost 1-0. Has announced on his twitter that he has a virus and hopes to shake it off for Saturday.

Megson also revealed that John Bostock and Ryan Lowe would have started last night’s game but were ruled out by illness and a calf injury respectively.

Not sure what to make of the bostock situation. Hopefully just not match fit yet. Really feel the boy has a lot to offer. Play him Meggo because the boy has talent. Seems to be sticking with Madine even though he is not firing time to show faith in Bostock because he clearly has the talent.

hope bostock is well enough to play saturday put him in the middle

I said when Grayson got sacked we should recall Townsend and get him out somewhere else. Looks like I was right.

Is he back from injury yet? Physioroom.com has him out with knee injury untill the summer.
I know we registered him in our 25 man squad, and I've seen picture of him on a threadmill
 
Upcoming weekend games. With Simon Dawkins re-joining San Jose Earthquakes we have now got 20 players out on loan!

Corluka's cross could have gone anywhere - he wasn't even looking when crossing the ball. Hoped someone would latch onto it

What is it with you and Charlie Arcy?

He was aware of his position on the pitch, and aware of the general runs Leverkusen's forwards would be making so he took a gamble, against barca you often don't get that time to look up

I'm not trying to drag down Walker as punishment of what you said about Charlie, eye for an eye stuff isn't what I'm intending, but as a direct comparison, Walker's pace on many times has enabled him to get the space to cross, the time to look up, and yet it's often either gone out for a throw in on the other side or ended up in row z. He simply does not have the same control over the ball as Corluka does at this point in time

Falque's loan looks like it's been a bit of a nightmare, not really working out for either party at present, should perhaps hae gone to a lower team, must be very hard to cement your place in a team that is already challenging for promotion...

It certainly is the most concerning one, considering he's only played 55 minutes in total and has been left out the squad altogether on match days. He's also one of the older loanees at 22 so he needs to be playing or at least getting on the bench and then off it!

Andros Townsend is also worrying but at least just now he's playing under a caretaker manager who isn't doing very well so this could be a temporary issue.

I would also be surprised if Mirko Ranieri plays another game this season, he has only turned 20 so maybe a loan out to a league two or conference side may be best, Jordan Archer and David Button are doing much better on loan and I do hope David's loan can be extended to the end of the season.

Everyone else seems to be getting games though which is encouraging. Hopefully Kudus will start getting on the pitch more for St Johnstone as well.

this kudus fella looks a beast zin.. Whats he like on the pitch? Playing style, preferred position, and where do you think he ranks in terms of our other youth strikers? perhaps a player comparison (a poor mans carlton cole for instance?). great work once again=D>
 
I can only go by how they perform on loan and fan comments. So far he's only played 12 minutes and seems to come in from the left. Hopefully will learn more as the weeks pass, there are other spurs fans on other forums who follow youth football more so if you want to try and find some more info look out for ray lo's reports on spurs odyssey and windycoys blog.

0-1 loss in the FA youth cup, we're always poor in this tournament.
How can there be such a huge quality gap between the U18 (FA) and the U19 (nextgen) teams?
 
Im wondering if parrett might be a late bloomer. His game is based more on tactics and short passing he does not see the same as bostock who was just the most skillful kid at school but never took it to the next level.

I think from what i have heard that parrett will make it in the game, not sure of the level.

Townsend if he is not the back up to bale next year i hope he gets a loan with a prem club.

I'd like to see him as Bale's back-up, but I get the impression he wants more than that
