Toon No9 Posted March 15, 2019 Share Posted March 15, 2019 Cal Roberts not getting a new contract from us. Is this official? Should've got his chance earlier in the first team I think. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pilko Posted March 18, 2019 Share Posted March 18, 2019 He'd be a class striking coach on a "don't do as I do" basis. Employ him as full-time penalty taking coach. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted March 18, 2019 Share Posted March 18, 2019 I really don’t want him back, man. Unless he’s the best, most qualified person for the job he should be nowhere near us. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LoveItIfWeBeatU Posted March 18, 2019 Share Posted March 18, 2019 I'm pretty sure Shola like Harper is actually qualified having done the UEFA coaching courses. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
thenige Posted March 18, 2019 Share Posted March 18, 2019 Sure there’s plenty of knowledgable coaches out there with cutting edge ideas just in need of the opportunity. Yet we continue with the “jobs for the boys” mantra. Perhaps being a bit harsh on him given he’s not had a chance yet, but would be extremely surprised if he is the type of person to revolutionise our acaemdy.

Fucksake i don’t want this knacker teaching our youngins! He barely made any improvement to his game past the age of about 23. “Aye lads so once you’ve made a few 1st team appearances you’ve pretty much made it and all you have to do to get payed is turn up to training every day. It’s mint!” Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
thenige Posted March 19, 2019 Share Posted March 19, 2019 Have been reading Michael Calvin's 'No Hunger in Paradise' (which I'm sure you've read OCK). Seems like youth football has so much good stuff intertwined with the bad. If we go ahead and appoint an ex-player with barely any experience it really is a damning indictment of how we treat our youth process. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted March 20, 2019 Share Posted March 20, 2019 If we can keep Ben Dawson, Liam Bramley and Neil Winskill together we'll have a great core of coaches focused on coach development as well as player development. They won't allow standards to drop. Liam Bramley new U23s Assistant Coach. All is looking good. Just need Neil Winskill to get the Head of Academy Development position now. Have been reading Michael Calvin's 'No Hunger in Paradise' (which I'm sure you've read OCK). Seems like youth football has so much good stuff intertwined with the bad. If we go ahead and appoint an ex-player with barely any experience it really is a damning indictment of how we treat our youth process. Youth Development in the UK has a lot of lip service, with little follow through. There are great coaches out there, doing a great job, but that's the issue - they're coaches. They still have people above them making the key decisions that don't have the confidence to give youth a chance. The balance between results and development is still heavily tilted towards results. We all know youth players only get a chance if a player above them is injured or suspended for the most part. If they don't impress above and beyond the expectation then they're dropped as soon as the established player is fit again. You can't just 'play well'. I haven't read No Hunger in Paradise, I've only just started to gain an interest in football again in all honesty. I totally switched off for 2 years.

Cookie1892 Posted April 16, 2019 Share Posted April 16, 2019 so i went to watch the reserves last night.... Man Utd's number 10 Gomes ran the game from start to finish, amazing player who would walk into most premier league teams imho the gulf in class between him and most of the other players on the pitch was noticeable. How the fuck are they below us in the league? i can only assume that daft haired lad, greenwood and gomes have been in the first team most of the season? Our lads barely got a kick after the first 30 seconds Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pilko Posted April 23, 2019 Share Posted April 23, 2019 Quite a few Leeds first teamers in that side too. Peacock-Farrell, Clarke, Shackleton, Berardi, Phillips. Cracking to win so comfortably. Hope Cal Roberts can get a half decent football league side to take him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
