You know he turned down a scholarship to Harvard University to play professional football? What life options he must have had at 17/17 years of age!
Apparently his goal on Saturday was a mistake by whoever calls them in as it was later awarded to someone else.
Correct. I believe wfc4ever is referring to Woking's game last night however, and not Saturday's game. http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/37282923
He had a mare, as did the goalkeeper. All four goals gifted in Coco The Clown comedy style to an average Sheffield Wednesday team. First goal went through the kneeling goalkeepers legs Ray Clemence style to dribble over the line. Should've been a routine save. Chocolate hands. Mariana criminally so undercut a back pass to the keeper he simply played in the gleeful no. 9 for Sheff Wed. Third, the full back gave away a penalty by helpfully clearing out an speedy striker in the box. And the fourth seemed a simple cross shot into the corner from 20 yards, the keeper, shot of all confidence after a very shaky night, ought to have got near. The highlights could be put to clowns music but still Watford had great chances to score. Leadership evaporated somewhere during the second half and so a couple of the forwards tried to beat seven men on their own to score wonder goals instead of getting it down and playing, as Watford were clearly the stronger, more skilful, faster side. Folivi looked handy. Ovenden passes better than any of them and can take free kicks. Sinclair didn't look bothered. Mariappa looked awful. Both miles away from our current first team squad on this showing. Not many in the crowd despite it being free (thanks WFC). Whither Harefield and the project?
I believe so, yes. He showed flashes of brilliance but as the game went on he seemed a bit disinterested to me. His goal was an instinctive finish from a rebound of a shot that three advancing WFC players could've buried but he was on the spot and did that well.
Our club haven't put the goals up yet on the WFC website, and probably won't to prevent shaming the guilty, but Sheffield Wednesday have. http://www.swfc.co.uk/news/article/2016-17/stunning-fightback-for-owls-at-vicarage-road-3317615.aspx
Any recollections of this bloke? http://owngoalnigeria.com/2016/09/23/former-barcelona-nigerian-teen-elohor-testing-with-watford/
Macheda scored a pen for the under 23s last night as they lost to Hull 4-2, Obi got the other one. Macheda is 25 now so surely wouldn't be happy with under 23 football but I wouldn't have thought he's at a good enough level to challenge Deeney, Ighalo, Success and Okaka. Odd one.
If we were in this Checkout Trophy competition with our Under 23s would anyone go to the games? Noticed most of the crowds barely reach 2k! On that note what is our lowest ever crowd in recent times?
Accrington took 6 fans to a game last night, think it was Chesterfield. There were under 1000 there. It all the Premier Under 23 teams have entered, it may have been worth it but I think this is now the death of the competition. Surely it must be costing clubs more nowadays than actually what they get in income from the gate plus the necessity of having to pick strong squads as per the league rules and losing key players to injury.
Mariappa and Kabasele maybe not putting their claim for a 1st team role forward too well. https://www.watfordfc.com/teams/under-23s/under-23-report-reaction-watford-3-4-colchester-united
6 first teamers against a League Two U23 side with no first team players in it!!. That has got to be the worst result ever. HK has lost 15 of the 26 games in charge. I think it's only a matter of time before he goes.
They should bring back Loofa. I seem to remember his record in charge of the U21's was excellent (or was it the reserves?)
They only lost 2-1 today.....give him a break. That's the best result HK's ever got, so things are improving.
Anyone else get the feeling the club are giving Michael Folivi a bit of a push, noticed he was one of the players along with Deeney/Success/Capoue to go to the Christmas Lights event and a article on him on the webstie today about how much he loved being part of the first team squad and is itching for more. Maybe I'm reading too much in to it or maybe they're just trying to show they haven't forgotten the young players coming through at the club and they will get a chance. Not seen him live myself but he's scored a load for me on Football Manager so he's the next big thing in my book.
He did score a jolly nice goal against The Gills [video=youtube;TrW7lafqvxE]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TrW7lafqvxE[/video]
