a mention for the young lad, first career start in a big league, away from home to boot. I thought he did some excellent things and I suspect we will see a lot more of him

IanMcL · Post by **IanMcL** » Fri Jul 29, 2022 10:11 pm

Some good runs and great positions. Let himself down at the final point. He will learn.

RVclaret · Post by **RVclaret** » Fri Jul 29, 2022 10:11 pm

Liked his performance, obviously raw but fair play showing some nice touches, fit into his role well and had lots of energy first half.

He did Ian but I’m sure they’ll work with him on this. The lad worked very hard though and I’m sure he will improve.

Classic first performance full of promise with bags of inexperience. Would have been nice of him to finish one of those chances as it would have really settled him down.

Belgianclaret · Post by **Belgianclaret** » Fri Jul 29, 2022 10:13 pm

Did very well for his first outing, tired in second half and replaced exactly at the right moment.

All substitutions were spot on with no dithering on the sidelines

JohnDearyMe · Post by **JohnDearyMe** » Fri Jul 29, 2022 10:14 pm

Decent display tonight. Hopefully he'll be pushed down the pecking order with a few more signings in the coming weeks though

Goalposts · Post by **Goalposts** » Fri Jul 29, 2022 10:14 pm

He will be a very good squad player this year

ElectroClaret · Post by **ElectroClaret** » Fri Jul 29, 2022 10:15 pm

Did very well.

warksclaret · Post by **warksclaret** » Fri Jul 29, 2022 10:15 pm

Did not let the team down. Think he will be in or around the squad. Showed his inexperience at times but will only get better. Reminded me of a young Lafferty

Newcastleclaret93 · Post by **Newcastleclaret93** » Fri Jul 29, 2022 10:16 pm

I was happy with him tbh.

Skilful and good on the ball, however very raw and needs game time.

A debut to be happy with

We need to sign this lad to partner him up front…

Should be really pleased with his performance. Some lovely touches and didn’t look out of place at all.

FCBurnley · Post by **FCBurnley** » Fri Jul 29, 2022 10:21 pm

He was outstanding in the first half. Faded a bit which is to be expected

Shaggy · Post by **Shaggy** » Fri Jul 29, 2022 10:22 pm

The young lad done well tonight. Looks quite physical aswell.

dvalley69 · Post by **dvalley69** » Fri Jul 29, 2022 10:22 pm

looks to have a bit of bite about him as well, not scared to get stuck in! Did really well for his first game and got in some good positions, definitely something to work with.

Quickenthetempo · Post by **Quickenthetempo** » Fri Jul 29, 2022 10:30 pm

I was very impressed. Worked very hard and his pace certainly made it easier for Ashley Barnes.

Roosterbooster · Post by **Roosterbooster** » Fri Jul 29, 2022 10:30 pm

Hints of early Dwight for me

Likes to have the ball at his feet. Good touch. Looks to bring defenders to him to see if they commit. Needs to improve some decision making

CryerBFC · Post by **CryerBFC** » Fri Jul 29, 2022 10:31 pm

Personally I liked how he seemed left footed, but didn’t have an issue getting to the byline and crossing with his right, effectively too! I can’t remember the last time we had an effective winger with both feet!

pauliopaulio · Post by **pauliopaulio** » Fri Jul 29, 2022 10:31 pm

He did ok but had two good (one golden) chances to score.

I’ll have more patience with the plaudits once he’s had an assist or a goal.

Lancasterclaret · Post by **Lancasterclaret** » Fri Jul 29, 2022 10:31 pm

Considering it was his debut I thought he was excellent

Very pleased

strayclaret · Post by **strayclaret** » Fri Jul 29, 2022 10:32 pm

Didn’t stop playing despite those misses.
Well done

taio · Post by **taio** » Fri Jul 29, 2022 10:34 pm

Good debut.

The thing that struck me which perhaps wasn't noticeable on tele was his physique for a young lad.

BurnleyFC · Post by **BurnleyFC** » Fri Jul 29, 2022 10:37 pm

Great performance from the young lad.

SirBob · Post by **SirBob** » Fri Jul 29, 2022 11:06 pm

Huge congratulations to him, it’s great to see these lads being given a chance. He held his own and I’m looking forward to seeing him progress over the season.

Stalbansclaret · Post by **Stalbansclaret** » Fri Jul 29, 2022 11:12 pm

Thought he was really excellent until the two missed chances seemed to possibly drain his confidence a bit. Looks strong with good touch ...promising debut.

Elizabeth · Post by **Elizabeth** » Fri Jul 29, 2022 11:13 pm

Good effort by the lad to keep going when things didn’t go how he would have liked it.

He’ll always remember this game for the rest of his life

Full of energy and you can see his passion and commitment. VK will drive him on to be a great striker for us.

Colburn_Claret · Post by **Colburn_Claret** » Fri Jul 29, 2022 11:14 pm

Started of excellent, didn't look out of place at all.
The miss seemed to affect him, and he tired second half, but I hope we see a lot more of him.

I also hope one of the older pros tells him what a good game he had, he'll probably be kicking himself for the miss.

KlyBfc · Post by **KlyBfc** » Fri Jul 29, 2022 11:27 pm

He was superb given it was his debut. The first missed chance seemed to catch him (understandably ) In two
Minds for the second and he seemed to look to pass rather than shoot at the last minute. But a promising debut

Socrates · Post by **Socrates** » Fri Jul 29, 2022 11:33 pm

He did well up until the miss, then seemed to go in on himself - which is understandable.

Two footed, wanted the ball, not scared to try things. The thing for me though was his intelligence to play in the system ……. happy to stretch the pitch and hug the touch line. Confident enough to know that was his job.

His position and centre forward are the two to improve. But definitely a bonus to have him come through like this.

Wile E Coyote · Post by **Wile E Coyote** » Fri Jul 29, 2022 11:51 pm

he did very well, the one that went wide is irrelevant. Every player everywhere has done that. Others will burst the net in due course. I thought he had a good game.

Silkyskills1 · Post by **Silkyskills1** » Sat Jul 30, 2022 2:13 am

Big, strong lad and an excellent debut. Knew what was expected of him and didn't disappoint. Lots of confidence.

mybloodisclaret · Post by **mybloodisclaret** » Sat Jul 30, 2022 2:25 am

Thought he was excellent tonight, clearly a way to go yet but for me, he keeps working hard and developing, he is going to get baller status. Well done young man, living most of our dreams and smashing it. Come on you Clarets.

ecc · Post by **ecc** » Sat Jul 30, 2022 6:52 am

He showed promise in the U23 games I watched last season (as did Owen Dodgson). Was very surprised when I saw him in the starting line-up but then it took me four hours to work out what that actually was. We needed width and, in reality, we had to get it from him.

Couldn't see the game but delighted (hugely) with the result and the stats

. The feedback is great on the lad.

Just the one game but a very positive start. Well done, Dara! Well done our youth recruitment for spotting him in Ireland.

Really promising first half. Thought he tired more than anything. There was a point just before he came off where he looked exhausted.

Lovely to see him given a chance. I’m sure we’ll see plenty of him.

This ^^^^

Was really intelligent and quite nuanced for a 19 year old. Didn’t think he was “raw” at all! Can’t understand those comments. He missed a couple of chances the second of which was a pinger of a pass where he didn’t quite time his run right. So be it.

superdimitri · Post by **superdimitri** » Sat Jul 30, 2022 7:40 am

Looked completely at home in his first game. Very telling. Also not at all out muscled for a young lad. Some confidence and composure and he'll do better and better.

I said to my lad after a few minutes, he will struggle to keep this intensity up in the 2nd half.
He was out to make an impression and he did.

Quickenthetempo · Post by **Quickenthetempo** » Sat Jul 30, 2022 9:41 am

Just reading Twitter and how proud his former club is that he made his debut. His school has tweeted and all the family very proud.

It's great young lads getting a go. Means far more than just football.

claret2018 · Post by **claret2018** » Sat Jul 30, 2022 9:52 am

Looked more comfortable out wide than he did up top in the middle. Is he a winger?

Did well and settled as the game went on.

boatshed bill · Post by **boatshed bill** » Sat Jul 30, 2022 9:58 am

For anyone criticising this lad, he has played every game I've seen at Under 23 level on the left wing or as a left sided striker.
In that context I think he did very well on his debut in a completely new role.
