Ghost of Clough Posted May 26, 2022 Share Posted May 26, 2022 Good luck, Alex! One of the ones I expected to move on. Seemed to be one of those who we kept on last summer just to make up the numbers, and his game time in 21/22 backs it up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seemed highly regarded then but looked about 10 years old. Wonder if that had any effect on his development.

Essentially U16s player of the season. therealhantsram and DarkFruitsRam7 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You jest, but I lost all traces of my footballing ability when everyone started growing around me and I stayed the same height! Thankfully I've grown since then and only my babyface remains.

Lovely skills on the ball but he really isn't physical enough yet. Hope he's a late developer. RoyMac5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stuniverse Posted May 27, 2022 Share Posted May 27, 2022 Didn’t Alex Matthews spend most of one season out injured? In a crowded central midfield, others overtook him while he was recovering from his injury and he never caught up again. Shame really as he showed a lot of promise, winning Academy Player of the Year a few seasons ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

therealhantsram Posted May 28, 2022 Share Posted May 28, 2022 (edited) That's college football right? So hes got a sports scholarship to a US university? Fascinating he has done that as opposed to take a salary at an English club. Edited May 28, 2022 by therealhantsram Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fraser_23 Posted May 29, 2022 Share Posted May 29, 2022 went to school with Alex in chello. Levels above everyone else and clear to see why he was in the academy. Never really been a big lad and never seemed to beef up like others did when going through the ranks Hope it works out for him Crewton and angieram 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
