Dominic Gape

looked an interesting feisty kind of player when he came on today, albeit for only 5 minutes. Needs tailor made kit but may be another useful attacking midfield option.

In relative terms he's coming through later (compared to our other academy players) at 20 years of age. I kind of like that though that we seem to be giving players longer to develop than the days of dumping Jamie White et al as soon as they hit their 20s.

The look on his face when he was about to come on spoke volumes about the Spirit in the Club.

It was a kinda 12 year old who still believes in Santa face,

He also made a couple of good passes, positional sense was good and won a few tackles.

Charlie Nicholas said he looked like a schoolboy and went onto the pitch with a cap and satchel on. I got the impression he was 16 not 20

Not often that a home team bring on a sub and the crowd says "who?"

Seemed to put a good shift in

I don't think you could form an opinion from the time he was on the pitch to be honest.

Think he had a bad injury which he has recovered from recently. Was always quite highly rated, think he was on the bench before under Adkins.

He did ok for the little time he was on the pitch. I'm not sure he has the physical stature to be a success at this level.

I didn't know we were allowed to play the mascot?

Nothing like writing a kid off after 5 minutes. Not sure what physical stature has got to do with it, Messi isn't exactly a giant.

Lol physical stature, so Lallana/Bale/Walcott all had that 'physical' stature. Complete joke when people say that, if you want stature get Ollie Lancashire. Personally I'd much rather technical ability, intelligence and talent than someone who is just a lump.

Not sure what to make of that post tbh.

Yeah I saw that and had to smile........just needs to get the right sized shirt and shorts LOL

Seems to be some relation to Tyrion from Game of Thrones?

I think Harry Reed was relieved to have someone smaller than him on the pitch.

He is a good cricketer too.

My tongue was in my cheek.

well cut it out

I Google imaged 'Dom Gape' and I'm a little confused.

Me too. Its hard to decide which one he is.

I remember seeing Simon Charlton walking along the touchline at Palace many years ago thinking he was one of the ballboys.

I thought he was same age as Seagar, 18 or so.

So he's 20 already, explains some of the comments on BBC about how many teens we had in the squad, one or two I thought were are actually not teens any more.

Is he the first Saints player called Dominic, no offence meant but it really does not sound like a footballer's name, a bit like Rupert.

I played cricket with him, use to try and hit every ball for 6 and usually did!

I must go and see that new "Hobbit" movie.

Wouldn't it have been easier to use a bat???
