Rample Posted June 28, 2022 Share Posted June 28, 2022 Curtis is a bloody legend. You just knew he would turn up regardless. The man is unequivocal. Props to Fozzy, Stearman and CKR too, even though I'm surprised the last 2 weren't on the released list. We could do worse than getting Curtis and CKR on the coaching staff in the next 12 months. Curtis seems integral to the fabric of this squad - we talk about Liam being continuity after Wazza walked, but Davies is a key part of any model going forward - universally respected, a great ambassador, and seemingly with both the intelligence and drive to move from mentor to coach and possibly further up. CKR also seems to have a good attitude/positive outlook that would translate well. Interesting that there's no mention of Bird or Buchanan. The way things are going lately I expect to be told that we've finally been taken over and then an hour later that they've walked away for free thanks to a loophole.

Which might suit the oldies but for the younger players we need to be out of admin to offer them proper deals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It only mentions players who are out of contract doesn’t it? Neither Bird nor Buchanan are out of contract. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Based on some things I’ve been told and things the man himself has said/done I think his post football career is planned for the media. I think you’re right in that he’d make an excellent coach/manager just not sure it’s what he has planned for himself. I do think he’s integral along with CKR for this season. Where a lot of us suspect Rosenior has the coaching/tactical nous to tap into as the Manager, I think having Curtis as club captain and CKR in the squad will go some way to motivating and driving the players standards/behaviours on and off the pitch.

Personally I don't think Stearman has the anything to play anywhere as a regular starter. Hasn't really gained anything mentally with experience to compensate for what he's physically lost. 5-10 minutes off the bench for "Bucko Time" sure, but any more than that and I'll be s******* myself every week.

I think that's a bit harsh there was several games last season where he played the full 90 minutes, the 2-0 win against sheff utd being one , played 90 against forest , so this season having him as an option with Davies and cashin is pivotal over a season spanning around 50 games with cup fixtures RoyMac5, LeedsCityRam, Indyram and 4 others 2 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he's cheap he's versatile and would count as an 'experienced player' for the Papa John's trophy, and a decent enough stop gap for the first team to cover injuries, suspensions and game management. Also think I heard last year he was good to have around the dressing room too. Tamworthram 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
