Phil Airey can't stop scoring.

 

If he really put the effort in he could, just look at Alan Smith.

 

:lol:

 

I always got the impression he was a defender/midfielder. It seems like they stuck him up for a laugh but he is actually scoring heaps.

i was thinking about going but not going now, i'm not paying £9.

 

Hmm £9 is more than I was expecting like, though think I'll give in since its 'local' football.

Gills boss Andy Hessenthaler added a handful of trialists to his side, with Lance Cronin continuing in goal and Stanley Aborah again appearing.

 

Aborah was to limp off in the second half with a hamstring injury.

 

Hessenthaler also got a look at Newcastle United youngster Darren Lough, at left back, and Trinidad striker Jason Norville.

Word has reached me Alan Thompson has left the club

 

Same person who told me the above tells me Pedro will be looking after the reserves next season

 

 

 

 

Lee Ryder seemed to think it would be Beardsley for Reserve Team Manager.

 

No smoke without fire I guess

Good appointments in Stone and Beardsley, though wonder if Stone is pulling double shifts with the youth team still (Nike Cup next week).

Happy about this like.. good news

why ? smacks of jobs for the boys and there was a lot of disharmony over his last spell of working with the kids (which most of the reserves will be)

Difference now is that Beardsley has Joe Joyce's ethos to work under/towards, so it'll be the established style the Academy has been pushing the last few years. The allegations of bully that were thrown towards Beardsley last time, I'm led to believe, were more to do with him treating the kids like adults and demanding too much from them.

more to it than that, for all the allegations of bullying were thrown out there were a lot of unhappy people there due to his methods. seems to me like a fantastic player doesn't always make a half decent coach.

Well, I was touching on that with 'demanding too much' part of his training (which can be classed as physical bullying), but this was over 5 years ago. If you've read Nzuzi's blog, he raves about the training with Beardsley. Obviously, its in Nzuzi's interest to do so since its a public blog, but in 5 years a lot can change, guess we'll see how it goes.

 

Though all I saw of Beardsley last season was him collecting balls during the Academy games, offered little advice, though that could be because he wasn't the manager.

 

You say its Jobs for the Boys, but who else on the payroll would have taken the job? It was always going to be internal. Who are Beardsley and Stone apparently mates with, who could sway the decision for them?

Steve Stone had done an amazing job in 12 months by all accounts (taken the U15s to the Nike Cup), so I'm glad for him he's being allowed to move up. Could be the case that Beardsley has picked him out of Friendship, which would fall into your Jobs for the Boys tag, but still doesn't explain Beardsley's initial appointment.

 

Dave hit it on the head when he said 'cheap'.

Sorry Geoff, no idea.

 

Anyone want to hazard a guess at what the team will be on Friday?
