Cameron played the full ninety minutes against Leeds on Friday night and the win took them to the top of the Championship.
He seems to have made the place in the team his own so is doing ok, did anybody see the game, I wonder how he played.

he played well, sheffield utd are a very well coached side so he's in a good environment to develop.

some did try and pin the goal they conceded on him but again, i think that's very harsh - https://streamable.com/tplqi

I hindsight, shame Onomah didn't go there with him, at least they have some tactical/coached ethos. Bruce is very much of the Redknapp/Sherwood school of "get out there and run arraaand a lot"

But the problem with Onomah isn't tactical or technical, it's that he doesn't run arraaand enough.
I suspect they wanted him to play for an old school manager in a physical league to understand the physical part of the game is the most important.
He has to learn to impose himself, that doesn't have to mean kicking the opposition off the pitch, but covering every blade of grass either pressing, dropping back, or moving into space for the ball.
If you look at the heat maps of the top players they are everywhere, always looking to get involved.
Josh is comfortable at u21 level but senior football is a whole new level. He's already shown at Villa he's the most technically competent player in the team but he's been overtaken by workhorses and results have picked up.

Hopefully, this season, he will learn to become a workhorse and then his talent on top will see him back in our first team squad.

One of the reasons he’s comfortable at U21 level is because he’s played in his best position, and invariably in a well coached team that’s tactically set up with some intention to get the best out of its constituant parts.

He’s been overtaken by workhorses because his manager hasn’t worked out how to coach and tactically balance the need for both work and brains.

When Alli plays in CM3 for us he’s not exactly tearing around like a tenacious metronome, but Poch balances it off.

How’s Onomah going to shine playing as a second striker for a team that hump everything?

Yes, he’s got to work on his game but using him the way Bruce is isn’t improving or teaching him anything much except how to jump a bit higher.

53' 1-1 Carter-Vickers on the overlap puts in a superb cross that's turned in expertly by Leon Clarke. Game on!


won 4-1 in the end.

This is turning out to be a very successful loan for CCV. Really pleased he has cemented himself into the team & also great that they play the same formation that we do.

With CCV and Foyth we have two potentially excellent centre backs to add to our already quality defence. Personally I just love the fact that we are building a strong young team that have the ability to step into the first team in the positions required. The likes of:

CCV, Foyth, KWP, Bennetts, Onomah, TOB, Edwards et al, are all top quality young players that could play in the first team now alongside our more experienced players. Great times.

Looks as though the lad is doing what Pochettino asked of him. Has gone the Sheffield Utd, got into the side and made himself key. Really pleased for him

Now we know a good coach to send our lads too in the future (if we need to) - hats off to Chris Wilder. Looking at a potential double promotion!

Better for us he's chosen to play for US. If he does well it will help grow our fan base over there.

I was at Elland Road when Shef United beat Leeds a couple Fridays back. He (and they) looked very good. Very well organized at the back, and he (and their entire defense) looked quite comfortable on the ball.

It was an impressive performance all around ... CCV and Sheffield United.

Don't think it will help grow it any larger than it already is, to be honest. Plus most Americans (myself included) are pretty fucking upset at the failure to qualify for the World Cup and couldn't care less about the upcoming matches.

CCV is going to be around for much more than those two matches. if he does well for Spurs and the USA in the future surely it well help us.

Their manager looks to have a big future

Happy for him, their was a video of their manager on deadline day trying to bring in a few players and he said on the phone to I think Clayton Donaldson 'we play like Spurs' which is good for us our coaches and his development, him doing so well if they get promoted maybe we can send a few other youngsters on loan their
