Pearson's comments about him when he got him to Derby were pretty complimentary for someone who's only been an academy coach.

Foxy-Lady Posted 25 October 2018 Posted 25 October 2018 20 hours ago, st albans fox said: surely there are lots of clubs more attractive than luton ??? i stand by my question but do accept your comment I understand your comment and agree in part but the logic is slightly flawed in that Yth development is possibly seen as even more important to lower league clubs with limited resources as the development and/or sale is seen as the potential financial lifeblood to these clubs. As such, it is absolutely imperative for their survival that they succeed in the area of Yth development (MK Dons, Coventry, Crewe etc..) and are reliant on good coaches to do so where as the likes of PL clubs such as Chelsea & Arsenal see very little return from the £millions they invest and it doesn't seem to make any difference to their philosophy or strategy

Perhaps they're the only team to who were willing to have him . They have no U23's management he could "threaten" . Sorry for that but couldn't resist it . davieG is there .

Fourteen weeks seems like a long time but it hasn’t been too bad, going through the weeks and trying to get back into the swing of things. "I probably feel like it’s gone quite quick to be honest. I’m definitely looking toward to getting back in training next weekend and involved in the upcoming games. "It is tough, I’ve been out of football for quite a long time from coming back into pre-season and only training a limited amount of time before then realising about my injury. "You’ve just got to try and keep yourself motivated and just think to yourself that before you know it, you’ll be back and fit. "I have had to try and keep myself focused and always think that the more I focus on trying to get my injury sorted, the quicker I'll get back." They definitely keep me going, keep my mind off my injury, especially in the early days when I first got the injury, so the lads definitely help a lot.

Ric Flair Posted 26 October 2018 Posted 26 October 2018 Glad he's back, but there's such an abundance of defenders in our U23's. Hope he gets a loan move in January to a League One or Championship club.
Foxxed Posted 26 October 2018 Posted 26 October 2018 Knight, Hughes and Darnell in the u23s now then. All promising. We have to loan out at least one in Jan.

Exactly this, forget about the u23 league now we’re not going to win it anyway. I’d even loan out Hamza and Nduwku. Maybe even Diabate too.
mozartfox Posted 26 October 2018 Posted 26 October 2018 I would prefer it if we loaned out the speed impaired CB's in the first team squad and kept the younger quicker versions. I am still having nightmares over the Bournemouth game.

Some need to be moved on at best there’s only going to be one opening for a development CB getting in the first team squad same goes for the other positions. We need to create opportunities for the younger players in the u23s as well.
Foxxed Posted 26 October 2018 Posted 26 October 2018 Christ this is the third u23 match Hamza has missed.

Guest Posted 26 October 2018 Posted 26 October 2018 Enjoying the speed, movement and 1 touch football. Benny our worst player. Dewsbury Hall will be next year's Harvey Barnes in the Championship. Shade and Leshabela looking good up front.

Foxxed Posted 26 October 2018 Posted 26 October 2018 Shade looks like he may be the next u23 to be noticed. Still need Darnell, Knight, Hughes and Hamza to get somewhere better than the Beaglehole party though.
Ric Flair Posted 26 October 2018 Posted 26 October 2018 Shade looks talented, didn't we get him from about the 8th tier of English football?
