Ghost of Clough Posted September 18, 2020 Author Share Posted September 18, 2020 Thompson about to come on. Could be for any of the 3 CMs Ibrahim off. Guess we’re looking to keep hold of the 2-1 lead Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe he wants to go straight into coaching and is playing for the U23s whilst he does he badges? That sounds more like inside knowledge than a guess! Why on earth wouldn't you want to be a pro footballer, even at a lower level. Coaching can wait until your playing career is done, or even be done simultaneously?

We’ve all heard stories about players saying they don’t care about football, they just play it because they’re good at it and the pay’s good Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Comrade 86 Posted September 18, 2020 Share Posted September 18, 2020 Bateman doesn't mess about, does he? Proper old school tackles! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now I can't speak with certainty because obviously I'm not and have never been in a position to make this choice, but I *feel* as though if I had come to the conclusion I wasn't going to really amount to much, maybe a career at League Two level, I may well choose to follow (if I'm Wassall) my dad (who I'm obviously close to) into coaching and stick around a great youth development system in Derby, rather than play. Fact is, that's an 8 or so year head-start Vs playing and then switching to coaching, and if I believe in myself I could really climb the ladder in that time. Could be looking at 30 year old Ethan Wassall becoming a head coach somewhere. Never know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ramit Posted September 18, 2020 Share Posted September 18, 2020 About Connor Dixon. He is coming back from a long injury. We have yet to see him in full strength again, but that being said, he is doing the necessary midfield work. i have considerable belief in that young man.

Think Archie has been good tonight too and young Solomon has put in some good blocks. Liverpool look a very decent team to my eyes and defensively I think we've coped admirably.

We’ve all heard stories about players saying they don’t care about football, they just play it because they’re good at it and the pay’s good Wouldn't that also apply to a possible coaching career? I can't imagine he's earning much more than a qualified tradesman at this stage of his career, so I think it's unlikely that he's hanging on to the cash to set himself up in life.

S8TY Posted September 18, 2020 Share Posted September 18, 2020 Shonibare has lots to learn but looks a player....reg Wassall he's been a mainstay of the 23's for yonks and i think brings stability but lacks pace to be a player at championship level Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Comrade 86 Posted September 18, 2020 Share Posted September 18, 2020 Always strikes me how good a game to watch footy can be without the precious refs and players constantly feigning injury that we see in every senior match. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd keep on playing at the highest level possible, do my coaching badges in the 30 hrs of spare working time a playing career gives you, which quite a number of lower league players do already, and set my coaching career up from a position of playing experience, backed up by a solid body of coaching work.

Comrade 86 Posted September 18, 2020 Share Posted September 18, 2020 Game saving tackle there from Solomon showing Tomori-esque speed to get back and make the challenge. Excellent stuff. Think we rode our luck a little but our defence did not deserve to be on the losing side tonight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
