After Downes, Nydam and Woolfenden, would you stick any of them on the bench on Saturday or at any stage on that basis? Curious to know who in particular looked like they could make that step up. Obviously they all did us proud and it sounds really heartening for the future |  | | |  |

From what I gather, MM might need to be a little more open minded about the young central defenders- they held their own tonight it seems. Patterson I have always liked and I think McDonnel is starting to realise his potential more. In my mind the strikers need more work, but pretty much anyone in the first 2 stratas wouldn't look out of place on the bench. |  |

No, but I would not be worried if Mick disagreed. That was one of the greatest performances, relatively, I have ever seen - a team with almost zero experience, giving a real fight to a half-Prem team.
At the end, Nydam came back on and slapped every single player - he had slipped into the role of senior pro! | | | |

I think Downes has already demonstrated his quality. I should think he's pretty close to Mick's thoughts. |  |

I'd argue starting those three on that performance!
Webber, Rowe and Folami were the others that stood out.
Celina was frustrating. Don't fancy his chances with Mick | |

All of the back four plus McDonnell and Downes were excellent and I think they could probably hold their own if given another run out.
Morris and Patterson had a few decent touches too. |  | | |

My sense with Celina is that he's a proper winger. He will blow hot and cold...when he's on he will be unplayable ... when not we'll need to carry him. |  |

Mick doesn't carry players though does he? Regardless of how much talent he has, he won't trust someone that gives the ball away cheaply in the wrong areas. I think keeping Celina happy is going to be a tough task, I really do. | | | |

Have to agree, but for me Webber was and absolute beast. Good passes calm under pressure.
Made mistakes but against them fair enough.
Hope he gets some first team reps if possible | | | |

The quality was there. End product was just missing for most of the game.
Hope he learns and improves.
Wolfie was my motm though. An absolute beast at both ends of the pitch. | |

The kids have shown they can cope with the step up and have the temperament. I don't think that MM should be afraid to use them. I hope MM will travel back to Suffolk with a smile on his face and think, 'I've got a few good kids coming through!' | |

You know, to me McDonnell is one of those players that if was dropped into the first team woul grow and grow with each game and become a genuinely top player. Obviously not to the same level but much like Harry Kane he just needs the trust of a run of games. No real reason to think this just have a vibe. Wish he was given games ahead of Dougie last season. |  |

I thought Celina done well tonight. Worked hard when we didn't have the ball too. |  |

I spent tonight In the home end with a load of Palace supporting mates, and while the game was pretty dire, we all agreed that we were no worse than them.
Who was out or left back? I thought he was class... | | | |

Tristan Nydam, youngest of the lot only 17, I've only seen him at the Luton game but his pass to Celina for McG's first goal is fantastic , pinged to his feet and takes out the whole of the Luton midfield. Looks like a real prospect. |  | | |

I'll just add that last season Lawrence was utterly unplayable for a spell and scored several goal of the season contenders in quick succession...
...but that run didn't come in his first two starts for the club, it came once he was gelled into the team and put a run of games together.
Celina is a kid, still. Only a bit older than Downes, for example, with not many more First Team career appearances. It will take him a while to completely bed-in. | | | |

He didn't give it away in the wrong areas though! Yes a little frustrating and not all came off but much the same could be said of Lawrence. There is a player in there, his attitude will be whether he's a Mick player or not and I think he's doing the right things.....nothing wrong with being frustrated at not being involved. I wouldn't expect him to be happy on the bench.
Didn't celebrate his goal, just got the ball and wanted to try get the equaliser...that says a lot! [Post edited 23 Aug 2017 1:04]

This 100%. Couldn't believe the performance Webber gave and his physicality, strength and stature for someone of his age was remarkable. Think there is a player here, fully expect him to have a successful career on that showing. | |

Dire? Really? If you couldn't enjoy that performance from that line up you're in the wrong game | |

Downes - Absolutely superb.
Woolfenden - built like a 28 year old and had the calm head of one as well
Folami - held the ball up better than anyone I've seen up front for us since murph asides from garner
Nydam - Really looked good as a left back
Special mentions for Webber, Gerken, Celina and McDonnell as well who I though were excellent.
All three were excellent. I'd say the top 2 will be on the bench plus Gerken |  |

If you have 'already demonstrated your quality' then you should be more than 'pretty close to Mick's thoughts'. I'd like to see Downes given more of an opportunity in the next few weeks, as he does appear to have the ability, temperament and confidence to flourish. If he were to confirm that I am confident that McCarthy will handle him very well. If he were to not quite make it yet, then I would be equally confident that McCarthy and Klug/Nash would continue to develop what is clearly a young man with significant potential. He really excites me after less than a handful of games. | | | |

MM was really having to bite his tongue in the post match interview regarding Celina and where he loses the ball.....did his best go end it on a positive though, namely the damage he can do when getting if right. |  |

I'm gonna say it, if we finish top 10 and these young boys get game time.... I'd offer MM another contract. |  |

Him and TC already have 2 year options (in the clubs favour I think) in the deals they signed last season. I think I said in another thread last week that January would probably be a good time to review whether it's worth taking them options up or not. |  |
