Guest ObiChrisKenobi Posted August 24, 2011 Share Posted August 24, 2011 Does this also meant that on FM2012 our youth facilities are going to be mint? Shh man, cannit talk about FM12 when The Brock is on prowl. Fantastic post. Btw - I'd love it if perhaps you maybe wrote an article, not necessarily for the board, but about the whole academy system, why we've missed out on our players over the years, and what you expect from the future, not just Newcastle wise, but of England as a whole. One of my pals coaches some kids at Seaton Burn, and he said the standard of youngsters coming through from this generation, are a lot better footballing wise, than in previous generations. Which in his opinion is down to the change in coaching ethos, about how winning isn't the only thing, and kids are spending a lot more time practicing basic technical skills, and it's not just about how big you are anymore. Fully agree with him, I mean I can't speak for all community/boy's clubs in the area, but I know a few have 'nursery' groups now for 5-7 year olds now, where they basically just have a ball for an hour and learn how to 'look after it' (kick it, control it, dribble, etc). So most of the ground work has been done by the time they come into development teams and eventually Mini-Soccer. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stu Posted August 28, 2011 Share Posted August 28, 2011 Fantastic post that! This I've also been quite impressed with the movement for foreign youngsters, even if it's a couple of Zamblera's for every Vuckic - at least we're appealing to these youngsters. Krul came here when he was v v young and pretty much grew up in Gosforth (IIRC) so now he feels 'at home' - he's a brilliant example for us to use for any other promising youngsters: come to Newcastle and you can not only be first choice for the club, but play for the number 1 team in the world Frazzle - not sure why you seemed to want to pin OCK down to a pro/anti Ashley stance. It's a good observational piece about the youth set-up, something that has occurred under Ashley's ownership. Whether or not we will be ultimately successful - i.e. producing one or two Premier League quality players each season, maybe an international quality player every 3/4 years - will not be down to Ashley, but at least he's seen the commercial sense (if little else) in putting the money back into the youth system so NUFC can compete with the mackems and smoggies for local talent.

Doug Posted August 28, 2011 Share Posted August 28, 2011 U18's lost yesterday, 2-1 away to Villa Adam Campbell scoring our goal I watched the first half before the teeming rain got the better of me. We were winning 1-0 and could have had 2 or 3 in the first half. We looked far the better side and played patient controlled football from the back. I am surprised we lost. The team line ups must have been changed a bit after half time. The little no.7 and the centre backs looked very good for us I thought. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
