Same old

Same old

I think Barks is more a wing half than a winger. He needs to be running more diagonals across the area and linking with the main striker more. First touch yesterday was worse than mine! Needs to sort that out and form partnerships with other forwards and midfield. That's what training is about, isn't it?
Get that right and we could become a team to be feared, not respected.

Got to agree with Joan regarding Billy Bodin as I needed to be convinced of his value initially. I am pleased to say he seems to be finding his feet and may well turn out to be a regular next year. Just thought he tired dramatically towards the end [maybe carrying a few to many pounds that a pre-season should sort]

Did he not get a pre-season last year?

He admitted himself that when he arrived here he didn't realise how much fitter he needed to be. I think what is being suggested is that a pre-season at this level will leave him better prepared

I get what your'e saying Paddy but if that's the case I can't believe the club which hasn't got any money would splash what was it, 400,000 on someone who wouldn't be fit enough but MIGHT become fit enough if he gets through a summer of training the NEXT year. Shouldn't we be getting an awful lot more for our money than that? Or is that all 400,000 k or whatever it was gets you?

He's a longer term purchase Dirty one. One for the future, all good stuff. It really is that simple 🙂

He is looking a lot fitter now but you can't account for how much of an improvement in his overall fitness a higher level of training for an additional 6 months will do.

I'm not sure a club like ours is in a position to spend that much on 'one for the future' though. When we sign one for the future, it's someone like Hugill for 25k or Connor Simpson or Liam Grimshaw. Though I suppose every signing in a way is for the clubs future.

Everyone can see the potential bud. He's young and inexperienced but myself along with others believe he will develop into something very very special. I think what we paid will be peanuts compared to what he will be worth in the future and that is a sign of our club progressing. I'm happy for Neil to take the time needed to blood him and develop him 🙂
