I guess on the night we had four ‘overs’ players but we usually have a low age range for our U23s. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope that once we are confirmed safe Mowbray picks a load of youngsters. If you'd seen the game Stuart you wouldn't be saying that. I would, however, love to see Danny Butterworth being given a chance to play just behind Graham - that would be interesting. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Personally, I'd love to see him playing just behind Graham for a game or two towards the end of the season. Danny has that yard of pace to get away from defenders and he would be great picking up Graham's knock-downs. He's young and still raw but there is a certain something about him - very much in the Speedie style in terms of aggression and involvement in games.

Agree, think Butterworth is the next youngster to be bloodied, looks very sharp, and. Buckley not far behind. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sure I read somewhere he's a Forest fan though but maybe just a touch of the Craig Bellamys..... boyhood Liverpool/Celtic/Cardiff etc fan ?

Buckley not far behind. Fully agree with you about Buckley. He looks so wonderfully balanced when on the ball he almost seems to glide past opponents and, of course, can pick out a pass to set his front men going. He's one we really need to get to sign a long term contract. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let's hope we don't lose him before he ever plays for us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of my Man Utd supporting mates started asking me about Buckley at the weekend, saying he'd heard a lot of top clubs were looking him, including United. It was news to me, but it going by your comments it sounds like there might be some merit to it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

USABlue Posted February 26, 2019 Share Posted February 26, 2019 A run of games there at that level, as long as he can do well, will do him the world of good in my opinion. If he can nit do well there then we got Davies'd and Grabbi'd all over again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tomphil Posted March 6, 2019 Share Posted March 6, 2019 After he got with a manager who knew what to do with him, signed him for a specific role instead of shoe horning him in and coached him in that role/ 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
