Inthebasement Posted August 5, 2015 Report Share Posted August 5, 2015 Trialist 14 impressed on those highlights, very sharp in possession. Edit - Sorry, just noticed better insight in the post above. Sign him up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whatyoudoingwithmygran Posted August 5, 2015 Report Share Posted August 5, 2015 (edited) I think an energetic winger would be a useful addition to the squad. Chalmers did really well on Saturday, but I felt if we had someone with more pace and willingness to get to the bye-line we could have cut them open and hurt them more. Was disappointed Dom Thomas didn't get on to do just that. Brobbel has been at quite a few clubs (Scunthorpe, Darlington, Tranmere, Torquay) on trial this pre-season and seems to have impressed... but not enough to get a deal. Scored for Tranmere and got a few assists in other games... worse hair-do than Fletcher though!!

capt_oats Posted August 5, 2015 Report Share Posted August 5, 2015 Difficult to tell going by highlights but it did seem as if Brobbel was playing more centrally. Every mention of him online seems to have him pegged as a winger however there are a couple of Boro u21 games up on YouTube (same ones as Ripley features in) and he definitely seemed to be playing in that role with them too. Captained them in a couple of games as well as far as I could see. Also, that interview with Craigan is really encouraging. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StAndrew7 Posted August 5, 2015 Report Share Posted August 5, 2015 Also, that interview with Craigan is really encouraging. Agreed; you can really see that there's a rapport between Craigan, Robinson and Baraclough (going back the celebrations at the end of the Playoff game at Fir Park). That can only mean the U20s will go from strength to strength; if we're playing the same formation as the 1st team regularly/every week and making sure that the roles of each position are exactly the same is paramount to the club growing. If Leitchy does the same with the youth academy, we've got a development system in place that's going to grow players throughout our age groups to step up the first team more often. Onwards and upwards! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Villageman Posted August 5, 2015 Report Share Posted August 5, 2015 Yes a good interview from Craigan. The most significant bit for me was " From now on they are professional players,they have to train,play,eat and live like professional players". Most of what we are hearing from the Club is very positive and welcome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sinjy Posted August 5, 2015 Report Share Posted August 5, 2015 Very impressed with Craigan's interview. Could be a future manager. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weeyin Posted August 5, 2015 Report Share Posted August 5, 2015 Yes, it was a very impressive interview and good to hear that Baraclough travelled up to watch the game too. That must be encouraging for the youngsters. Also good to hear the positive attitude shown from the senior members - from the highlights Thomas and Ainsworth looked like they were buzzing.

Tickle Pickle Posted August 5, 2015 Report Share Posted August 5, 2015 Craigan is one of the best professionals Scottish football had ever seen(edited because I spelled it scene, terrible antics). Not the best player but on the park he would never shut up and always looked after himself. He's a great person to have run the 20s. Not just because it's Craggs, but he is actually the right man for the job!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supermarv Posted August 5, 2015 Report Share Posted August 5, 2015 Brobbel may be a good recruit but we still need 1 or 2 centre mids Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought the fact Bara went up, and on the bus too, was a great thing. Very clear I think Craigan, Bara and Robinson are very much working together.

supermarv Posted August 5, 2015 Report Share Posted August 5, 2015 Watched the 20s game we could probably play with Thomas of brobbel in the more attacking role in midfield as it looked like they both played there and Keith could sit back a lot more Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

superward Posted August 6, 2015 Report Share Posted August 6, 2015 I think is an OK goalie at this level. Not brilliant...not a full on bombscare ...just somewhere in the middle. Would be a fairly odd signing given we have 2 senior keepers already. He does not fit the bill I would think of improving what we have or being a sellable asset in future.

fergi4 Posted August 6, 2015 Report Share Posted August 6, 2015 Unless Dan is getting punted, same as Neilson was when Long arrived? Surely samson is old new as far as our club are concerned? I can't see Samson in the long term plans, and Dan is already on a contract; why would we pay a third keeper, sigining on fee etc. Makes no sense What motivation would Samson have to warm our bench. next rumour please Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yassin Posted August 6, 2015 Report Share Posted August 6, 2015 Heard he is ibrox boundI checked Rangers Media after this. A few mentions of Samson but I'm more worried about the suggestion of "Humphreys from Motherwell, a lot of pace" made last night. Better prepare ourselves for a few Blue Pound bids IMO.
