Sammy Braybrooke

[Angus Scott]

Leeds were very willing to give their young un's a go today, in a much more difficult game than we had. Our academy players will just regress like most of the first team players under the management of this idiot.

Not our best ones though, in my opinion of course

[Foxxed]

Stop moaning. Rodgers injuries will dovetail perfectly into academy involvement.

An interesting thought is how well is our academy preparing players both mentally and physically for the step up to the senior game?

Reading Brendan’s comments about mentality and looking at the amount of players we send out on loan who struggle to get a game when they arrive in League One and Two says something is wrong. There is no questioning the talent we’ve had the last few years, but when our on loan they are not being given a chance repeatedly, surely that points to a wider academy problem.

These last 10 years amore,crunching it down to the last 5, now 2 (with seagrave).

We Leicester fans have watched other clubs young (academy) players, have their

moments and play decent games,some taking the next step,into PL,Championship, or other Profi leagues…

In reality Vardy’s short coaching school, also didn’t discover any top level clone..

or just a couple of names..,!

Leicester Academy coaches,seem so arrogantly over the top,they don’t see their charges worthy of first-team chances,or at least release them into a professional

Path already for their career…..

but “Still stay in charge of our various Academy levels”??

They are consistently failing .Look at our two new hopefulls,! were they daring?

Brunt,no imagination..! Time after time pumping the ball forward,no self desire to

take the situation on, ditto for the winger,who didn’t  take on players…

Thomas looks ok,he will have some Profi-career,hopefully “still” to grow at Leicester…KDH,Barnes…Top stars or squad fillers,time will tell..

This is far too less,especially after the platforms we built before & after the title win, that Ranieri,Puel, now Rodgers management-support,slowly destroyed…>Wahnsinn, madness..downright-waste<

He was told he was getting pitch time yesterday. 

Let's hope Sammy doesn't get impatient and feels like he's in the plans.

 

This manager is so toxic. Will be having celebratory drinks when he goes.

[deep blue]

A week ago Liverpool started one teenager and brought on another as sub in the same game.  Yesterday Leeds brought on a teenager as a late sub and he scored the winning goal.  Sometimes you have to take a risk with a promising youngster and give him a chance,  Rodgers is far too cautious in that respect..

Sammy is England u18 captain

 

someone with more time than me should go through the u18 England squad and see how many of them are getting any first team minutes

U19 captain now. Also Nelson is first choice CB and K. Pennant is in the squad. 

 

They will probably all be out of contact in 2024. Surely the club will want to renegotiate before they get down to a year. What incentive are they getting to stay and develop their careers here? All need first team opportunities or quality loans.

Rico Lewis and Lewis Hall are getting minutes for Man City and Chelsea. Carney Chuk(the long name...) also at Chelsea.

 

Sonny Perkins who has been mentioned above scored for Leeds yesterday. Darko Gyabi has had some Leeds minutes this season too.

 

Ashley Phillips at Blackburn (who we should be all over!!) is playing a fair bit too.

There's a lad at Birmingham playing pretty regularly too

[AjcW]

Funnily enough we have 3 players in that squad (last time they met up) and only Sammy has seen any action at all for us.

 

3 players also makes us the club with the most in there  

[Dan LCFC]

I'm not demanding he starts every game though he's probably got a bit of a case for it. It's just yet another aspect of Rodgers' supposed strengths that is a total myth. Why would you promise him minutes and not even play him? Does he not trust us against ****ing Gillingham? It's got a feel of setting fire to everything on his way out again, like earlier in the season.

 

Just totally illogical. Piss poor management.

Agreed. If Rodgers can't play him against Gillingham then he's basically saying Braybrooke's not good enough for the football league - there are no 'easier' opponents to play him against.

[Sharpe's Fox]

People are being harsh on Rodgers here and are once again looking for things to get angry about. I think if we had put Gillingham to the sword in the first half as we should of he might have come on for Tielemans but the performance in the first half was so piss poor and the lead in the second so slender it would have been a risk to put on a teenager in a key part of the pitch. You can disagree with that but I think the argument is coherent,.

[StanSP]

Where/when was Braybrooke promised a game against Gillingham? 

 

Given McAteer/Brunt played, I doubt its anything to do with trust. Was Braybrooke injured or not fully fit? 

[hackneyfox]

Generally people weren't happy with our display against Gillingham. 

Who do you propose should have been dropped to make way for Braybrooke? 

I'm generally happy that Rodgers puts out strong teams in the cups, he had to juggle for this game, if he'd have also thrown in Braybrooke and we'd have lost you'd all be slating him for it.

There's lots of occasions he could have played youngsters (winning comfortably vs Southampton, Watford, Norwich, MK Dons, Forest) and still hasn't. If it was 2-0 that'd be too fraught, if it was 5-0 he'd say it's too uncompetitive.

Disagree that you should be introducing teenagers to Premier League games when you are bottom of the league and have a 23 man squad under any just about circumstances but that's just my opinion. I'm fine with him being introduced in cup games against League 2 opposition but think the circumstances weren't right in this one.

He moaned in the week about players refusing to sign new contracts and then proceeded to play two players who are both out of contract this summer against the current worst team in the football league. He should have played Sammy over Tielemans, there was zero need to play Tielemans in that game. 

[Dan LCFC]

It's cowardice. The performance was rubbish but hardly going to boost his confidence by telling him I don't think I can trust you to get by Gillingham.

 

I stress, they have 7 goals all season. They are abject, appalling. There's no coherence to anything he says.

 

If the circumstances weren't right, don't go promising him minutes.

[An Sionnach]

No Maddison , no more excuses , send for Sammy.
