Keegan Posted October 10, 2018 Share Posted October 10, 2018 Seems to revolve more around secret commissions than match fixing, though they do mention it was a possibility. Cblake 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baulderdash77 Posted October 11, 2018 Share Posted October 11, 2018 It looks to be related to stuff that happened before David got there. Nothing to worry about. David will be fine. dyslexic nam, NVsoccer, Obinna and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that’s a bit harsh Common place for youngsters who don't get minutes in the senior match that week. It is good that he gets some playing time. We have to remember that despite his hot start, he is still just a teenager who made the jump from Ontario men's league straight to the Belgian First Division.

He hasn't had a start since September, he needs to play. I'm kinda hoping he gets released for U20s. Cblake and Blackjack15 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pottsy3 Posted October 22, 2018 Share Posted October 22, 2018 5 days earlier he was playing 6 time zones over, so I think that would be a good explanation as to why they didn't bring him off the bench in a proper competitive match this week. The reserve game is probably just to keep him fresh, wouldn't read into it too much. Obinna, villus, Club Linesman and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grizzly Posted October 22, 2018 Share Posted October 22, 2018 (edited) Wow the paranoia factor concerning David is high even by Voyageur's standards. When he scored a couple of goals in sub appearances people were condemning the coach for not starting him (which the coach then did shortly after) and now he plays a Reserves game likely to keep fit and we think he has been demoted. ?

Unnamed Trialist Posted October 22, 2018 Share Posted October 22, 2018 Ballou did not play this weekend either, nothing to be worried about here. Not training during the week and not being with the group are factors; and then, if he is getting minutes, staying game sharp, that is because they are properly managing his time training and competing. What a find this guy, came really out of nowhere, considering where he is now. dyslexic nam, johnyb, Obinna and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keegan Posted October 28, 2018 Share Posted October 28, 2018 Stayed glued to the bench again Friday. Despite playing only 369 minutes he remains the clubs leading scorer across all competitions.. scores with his national team and when played in the reserves as well but can’t even get an appearance lately. toontownman, BenFisk'sBiggestFan, Ansem and 2 others 1 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toontownman Posted October 28, 2018 Share Posted October 28, 2018 He is still young and the kid gloves treatment will hopefully preserve his longevity physically and also make him hungrier. Seems strange not to play him if he is good enough though. Cblake 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems strange not to play him if he is good enough though. This seems to go above and beyond the gloves treatment. There are times when we can be homers and call for playing time when there is a case to be made that benching them is deserved. For example, Davies only really becoming a full time starter this season. But this is just next level bizarre when a) he’s objectively the most productive player (Davies wasn’t producing) and b) he can’t even get a sub appearance (even when Davies didn’t start he would get at least an appearance). I cant recall another example of a Canadian player ever getting this treatment. My theory is that Awoniyi is on a loan deal where they pay more if he doesn’t play so they’re giving him time even if he’s not producing.. but even that theory doesn’t make sense when he’s the only attacker on loan. toontownman and Cblake 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shamrock Posted October 30, 2018 Share Posted October 30, 2018 To make an honest evaluation, you should know the other options the coach has. Scoring is one thing, you can always be lucky sometimes. There's other stuff to, how is his hold-up play? How well does he connect with the other attackers? They obviously rate him, they signed him and played him, but he's just 18. He'll get his chances I'm sure. Cblake 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Obinna Posted December 21, 2018 Share Posted December 21, 2018 (edited) I'd be surprised if what I am seeing is accurate, but it looks like Jonathan David is starting for Gent today in the Belgian league in the centre of a midfield 3. Edit: As I suspected, the above looks to be false. Found another source listing him wide left in a front 3.

He's been stuck on 4 league goals for a while now, but I have a feeling he'll score today. They have won 3 and drawn 2 in their last 5 games against the opponent if I recall correctly. Gent, I believe, are also the home team. Cblake 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, it's wrong. If you have the same thing as I'm seeing, it puts 2 defenders and a midfielder up top. Cblake and Obinna 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
