dabber Posted October 11, 2011 Share Posted October 11, 2011 Hidden in the Pearson and Leacock shop window article was the following quote from Nigel "Callum Ball came down from the youth team to train with us after getting two more goals at the weekend. We would like to keep him with us as long as we can." So it seems that his goals have given him an opportunity with the big boys and Nigel seems to hope that he will stick with the top squad. Perhaps Nigel wanted to see him prove himself as I think it was mentioned that he came back for pre-season a bit out of shape. So seems he has served his time now and is perhaps in the first team picture? Would be great news if he can do an O'Brien or Hendrick... PS. I am not related to B4!

Stimacked Posted October 12, 2011 Share Posted October 12, 2011 Yeh I noticed that comment from Clough Guess the idea was to make him just that bit more humble about being around the 1st team squad to keep him on his toes. might even get a chance on the bench with Tyson still out. Lots of games coming up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RotherhamRam Posted October 12, 2011 Share Posted October 12, 2011 Thought Ward was fit for Saturday and Tyson has had a behind the doors game? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trekkie_ram Posted October 12, 2011 Share Posted October 12, 2011 I thought I read an article saying Ward was out for 4 weeks, and another stating that Tyson had had another setback. Can't remember the source, I'm hopeful they're both fit. Edit: Tyson [url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/15258565.stm?]http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/15258565.stm? Couldn't find the Ward source. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smyth_18 Posted October 13, 2011 Share Posted October 13, 2011 I've just completely failed in trying to be funny. According to google there is no such brand as Ward Sauce. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tinman Posted October 13, 2011 Share Posted October 13, 2011 Don't get your hopes up on him being in the first team. He's struggling now he's up against players his own size. Basically, he's been found out. Expect to see him knocking around the lower leagues rather than in our first team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Basically, he's been found out. Expect to see him knocking around the lower leagues rather than in our first team. Talk about writing someone off! How old is he? Bit young to be "found out" dontchathink? He will improve, whether it will be enough remains to be seen but he has hardly been given a run in the squad. edit- Hi, just noticed it was your first post- Welcome aboard!

Ambitious Posted October 13, 2011 Share Posted October 13, 2011 I have heard something similar about Callum Ball, he uses his physicality to his advantage very well and has managed to make himself some what of a problem when playing against smaller players, now he is coming up against his own size I have heard that he struggles to have as much of an impact on the game, his basic footballing ability and fitness are somewhat lacking but this is just from what I've heard, and not exactly someone with brilliant scouting ability but just someone who has watched the youth team for 4-5 years now.

Smyth_18 Posted October 13, 2011 Share Posted October 13, 2011 The lad still finds the net though. Deserves a chance as much as Hendrick or O'Brien. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duracell Posted October 13, 2011 Share Posted October 13, 2011 The lad still finds the net though. Deserves a chance as much as Hendrick or O'Brien. Depends if he's good or not! From what I've seen and from what I've heard from those who've seen him more than I have suggest he's not the wonderkid everyone makes him out to be. If he works hard then he probably is good enough to make a contribution to the first team but the reason why he scores so many goals is that he's very good at scoring against 18 and 17 year olds with his superior strength. I'd like to see his game develop a little more, so training more regularly with the first team is a must. I'm such the trickery of Gareth Roberts with his samba style will eventually rub off on the lad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bucktwo Posted October 13, 2011 Share Posted October 13, 2011 i really hope he gets a chance grabs a couple of goals then gets slightly injured. DET headline "Balls out for a couple of weeks" would certainly give us a giggle ....a bit like "ball bags a brace" from the other week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
