Couldn't disagree more!!!! Feeney isn't that good at shielding the ball. In the short time I've seen Madjo, he looked to have more energy, vision, height & strength. And in the even shorter time I saw Griffiths he looked like he was the bees-knees.

I have it on very good authority (my brother) that Madjo just might be a proper footballer. Feeney is hopeless and is darn lucky to have a contract at this stage in his career.

Zackly, he is really Young, (geddit?) he is not being nurtured.

That was exactly the same as Joe Mason,who Cobi also slated.With such ability to judge a footballer,maybe Cobi was the scout who recommended our pre season signings. By the end of his career,Luke Young will certainly have spent a lot more time in higher divisions than this one.

Without meaning to be too harsh on Cobi....this.


Young's a proper footballer, not a run about blood and snot clogger.

If Young ever plays in the championship, it will be for Pompey because they are back in administration desperately signing awful players.

i think we should leave messi on the bench & play vinny jones instead

Time will tell who is correct about the future of young Mr Young, he has time on his side,he will probably develops as the seasons go by with the support of good coaching, here or elsewhere, sadly probably elsewhere. Cobi has seen him play a lot more than I have so his opinion is welcomed by me but I can also disagree on what I have seen of Mr or should I say Master Young, to me he is still a boy learning the ropes of the rough tough World of Division 4 ( in 'old money' ) .

What will be will be and for all the effort I am sure he puts into his sharp learning curve I hope he succeeds with Argyle for OUR benefit, one way or another.

P.S. To above, back on track, sorry, a tough game against Southend, we are on a high after Morecombe, Southend too on a high, Paul Sturrock will make it difficult for us for sure, it depends on how Fletcher approaches this game and what players are fit & available. Too close to call for me, a draw would be ok although I cannot discount a win for either side, sitting on the fence really. As for the team, it surely depends on who is fit, possible Darren Purse is playing with an injury, that would explain his recent form maybe.

Fingers crossed but I still think it might be a draw.

Phil.

I think he'll play in the Championship. At the very least League One.

A couple of my mates who I go to the match with occasionally are good football players and they both (on separate occasions I might add) mentioned that Young was and would become a very good footballer. I don't think that he is the finished article but you have to remember his age, give the lad a chance.
