Furlong for Young vs Sheff Utd? 19:55 - Aug 30 with 438 viewsElderGrizzly

Think he’d add some more solidity snd athleticism to that side. Young has looked off the pace so far?

Thoughts? I know we need to build up partnerships, but Young hasn’t looked much better than Johnson

I thought Young did well until about the 75th minute, then ran out of steam and didn't really help us from that moment.

I've been quite surprised by the love-in for him on here so far. He's been slightly better than Johnson for me, but it's clear his legs are pretty much gone. He doesn't run with the ball at all. I think he should definitely be the backup option, rather than the main option.

Young was excellent first half, but dreadful second, with his passing accuracy going to absolute sh1t.

I was born underwater, I dried out in the sun. I started humping volcanoes baby, when I was too young.

I thought Young looked pretty assured up until about the hour mark. He reads the game as well as you'd expect for someone of his experience, and his set piece delivery is a real weapon.

Then that suicidal dink across our own box, after which he spent 35 minutes looking like he had his boots on the wrong feet. Rotation will be the name of the game for those two I think.

Yes, I think we have signed Furlong to be first choice. Young is still a good player technically, but there is a limit to what we can expect form a 40 year old going through physical battles like today.

I thought Young excellent for the majority of the game. What is very noticeable from where I sit, first half, was how much talking, organising and encouraging he does. Which will be particularly important with someone like Egeli. He’s a very wise head. As well as a very solid player at this level.

Agree, rotation and squad depth key.

Certainly not saying Young is useless, just Furlong might be a better and fully-fit option right now

Agreed, although, despite looking absolutely knackered, in those last 10 minutes he was still doing more with the ball and trying to get the ball in the box much quicker than Jaden was. Overall a pretty solid game from Young I thought.

I thought he did well, apart from a few misplaced passes. A massive improvement on Johnson.

Hopefully Furlong and Young nail down that spot for the reast of the season. Also, Furlong can actually deliver a long throw, unlike some of the others in the squad who always fall a little short. That will be a massive weapon.

Thought Young was poor today for the first time since arriving, he should be used solely as a sub when a fool experienced head is needed, agreed with the shouts to start Furlong from now on.

Young is okay, nothing more. I don't think he'll be as good attacking as Johnson is (not that BJ is Cafu) but his set pieces are good and I suppose he's a good experienced head.

I wish he'd stop trying to get in scraps during injury time and seemingly trying to waste our own time though.
