Rohan Ince

[hans kraay fan club]

He's not been the best - come on, that's going a bit far. He's still quite sloppy, gives the ball away and rushes/overhits passes, understandably due to him being very nervous. Considering his age he's been very good, but he's not first team just yet.

I think because he is a young prospect - as with when JFC first came in - everyone is WILLING him to be really good, and means they sometimes overlook his flaws. If JFC was half as good as everyone was making out, he would've ripped League Two apart with Oxford, wouldn't he?

Plenty of POTENTIAL there, but that's what it is at the moment - like with Dunk.

Thing is, that POTENTIAL (and there's a LOT) will only be realised IF he actually plays. How long are you suggesting we wait to start playing him? Till he's 25?

i think Ince should be captain

So another person who thinks he's one for the future, I assume?

Quite.

Well with Crofts out it looks like he'll be playing on Saturday.

It's also potential that can be squandered if we push him too hard too fast too soon. If we pile on expectations he could burn out, if we put him in against teams too strong with experience or whatever it can destroy his confidence before he's had much of a chance to establish it.

I honestly think Oscar is still experimenting, taking a bit more of a risk with line ups in matches he think will be less challenging as he works to get to know his team. Rohan has shown a lot of promise, and we've got a good idea and I'd be surprised if he isn't around the match day squad regularly when Oscar's line ups settle down as he gets his team sorted in his own mind.

Well he already has played a fair bit this season. I just don't think he's as consistently good as Andrews or Crofts yet, and thus shouldn't start if those 2 are available.

Don't get me wrong - he looks a good prospect - but people have gone WAY OTT in terms of how good he has actually been.

 

[BensGrandad]

With Crofts out this week it is possible he will play but Oscar could plump for Agustein or Conway I am not really perturbed as long as he doesn't rush Bridcutt back too soon.

I can't think of a better midfield than Crofts/Ince/Andrews based on performances so far this season. With Bridcutt and Orlandi injured, Ince has to be in there purely on merit.

I thought we were pretty unstructured on tuesday with no evident holding midfielder. Ince would have made a significant difference if he had appropriate players around him. We seemed to have too many "middle of the park" midfielders on display, with none making an attacking or defensive impact.
I can't see him playing anyone but Barnes up front but perhaps he can play LuaLua and Buckley on saturday with Ince, Andrews and Crofts if fit.

 

[BrianWade4]

He is immense

 

[Zebedee]

He is immense

But will he start today? Let's hope so.

 

[Rogero]

He should start instead of Bruno.

 

[Surf's Up]

He is immense

and doesn't make any more mistakes than everyone else. Given our injuries he has to play.

 

[Icy Gull]

He should start instead of Bruno.

Forest are a physical and quite aggressive niggly side. I'd definitely go with the raw power and combative qualities of Ince today. Bruno, defensively, is marginally less effective than Calderon under pressure at fb, but I'd rather see him there instead of Calderon if Oscar insists on playing him, rather than as a lightweight midfielder. Today will be a battle IMO. I'd rather not see Bruno in the starting 11

True. They can play but try to bully....we need the big boys today Agustien, Ince, Andrews...not Spanish Dave and Bruno.

We'll see.

Agustien is injured again.

Really? FFS

Have we got a gypsy curse on us at the moment?
