Must be good reason why someone like Mbick is getting first team consideration over Casey? Perhaps physicality concerns? I’m not sure.
(Not saying Mbick isn’t deserving at all - only that Casey grabs the headlines on a regular basis)1 -
Cardiff bloke punches kedwell and gets sent off.
partially due to the referee's general leniency.2 -
Bundle!Red card for Cardiff.0

First time I have seen Casey today and imo he would seriously struggle with the physical side of first team football (at the moment). A loan spell in "proper" football would probably be a good starting point. National League or National League South.

All over.

And breathe !
What a match ! What a striker ( Not the Cardiff southpaw...)
Wonder whether our pocket rocket Mark 1 can better that tomorrow night !0 - Sponsored links:

Believe Appleton said Mbick played in the FA cup because the u21's were playing a cup game same day and he didn't want to weaken them too muchCallumcafc said:Must be good reason why someone like Mbick is getting first team consideration over Casey? Perhaps physicality concerns? I’m not sure.

Seems he can't stop scoring. Looking forward to seeing him develop as and progress.4

I don't think so. Possibly the odd sniff as a sub later in the season.ForeverAddickted said:Crazy how Casey isnt getting close to the First Team at the moment

Sorry was out at the time so was posting in a rush... I more meant in the Cup games, especially the EFL Trophy - I guess he may have been, but London Senior Cup, and FA Youth Cup have annoyingly clashedseth plum said:

Blimey he’s got a swing and a half on him https://x.com/cafcofficial/status/1729188626204909674?s=46&t=MojDVxh_AjG5taAWPQn6Tw3

I remain interested in how others would describe Casey as a player.
I fear that if he appeared in the first team it would naturally take a bit of time for him to find his feet (maybe not) and our support will question what all the fuss is about, maybe put Patrick under undue pressure.
Weird though it seems to write, somebody might say 'apart from goals, what else does he offer to the team?'.
Let him develop further is my feeling.4 -
I'd give him a go on the bench. Tedic is doing absolutely zero. Casey deserves his chance and must feel a bit peeved to see M'bick jump ahead, it would only be natural.
Leaburn, Kanu, Casey and M'bick is quite a run of prolific kids we have never seen before (appreciate we are academy B U18s so they are not playing at the top level though). Not sure how long Casey's contract is, we tend to give 2-3 years and then the first year is spent in our U21s and the contract is finishing by the time they are coming through which could be an issue.
The video made me think he is a simple knock for scoring a bit like one Alfie May.2 -
Some strikers instinctively know where to be at any given time and what to do when they receive the ball. Patrick is clearly one of those who has a vision of where he wants to put that ball be it with the left or right foot or with his head. Whether he can ultimately do that in the first team remains to be seen but I do hope that we have learnt from the likes of Vardy, Alfie or even Paul Walsh, who was almost released by us at the age of 14 for being too small, that you actually need to give those players more time to develop than you might offer someone who already has the physicality required to make it.0

5 well taken goals in the box by Casey despite the poor marking and some indifferent keeping. Looks very lively.
Patrick Casey is 18 and was born 19/02/05 so is 19 in February.
Daniel Kanu was 19 two weeks ago and was born 14/11/04.
So both Kanu and Casey were the same school year and Daniel is just 3 months older !
Both prolific scores in academy football.
Micah Mbick only just turned 17 having been born on 08/11/061
