The Don Posted 14 March 2006 Posted 14 March 2006 From the Starting 11 on Sat, the average age is 23.6 . With only 3 players over the age of 25. Certainly shows the potential this current side has. By interest, anyone know the average age of MA's last game in charge??

The Don Posted 14 March 2006 Author Posted 14 March 2006 I'm sure it was 30 or 31. That is very impressive and that's without Wesolowski!!! Get sheehan leftback for nils, Logan in goal, and stick Welsh in for Maybury, would be around the 21 mark i imagine
Ric Flair Posted 14 March 2006 Posted 14 March 2006 Get sheehan leftback for nils, Logan in goal, and stick Welsh in for Maybury, would be around the 21 mark i imagine Chambers in for Hume who is far too old at 22 and Gradel in for Hughes who is a biddy at 23 and your down to about 20.
Phube Posted 14 March 2006 Posted 14 March 2006 From the Starting 11 on Sat, the average age is 23.6 . With only 3 players over the age of 25. It's not right if you ask me!! How can I support a team that's younger than me!!! I think only Rab and Maybuty are actuall older than me now... it's just depressing...

shez Posted 14 March 2006 Posted 14 March 2006 i suppose we have got to thank CL for reducing the average age of our squad! Imagine of Mickey Adams was still manager im sure the average age would be nearing 40 now!

marko Posted 14 March 2006 Posted 14 March 2006 MA final game the team was; Pressman Tiatto Heath Dublin Makin Dabizas Scowcroft Williams Big Trev Wilcox Gudjonsson Subs Wright Connolly Gemmill Elliot Nalis
Head Honcho Posted 14 March 2006 Posted 14 March 2006 In a few weeks, i will be exactly 23.6 years old Bring yer boots to the next home match you never know
harry Posted 14 March 2006 Posted 14 March 2006 Pressman 36 Tiatto 32 Heath 24 Dublin 35 Makin 32 Dabizas 32 Scowcroft 29 Williams 23 Big Trev 25 Wilcox 34 Gudjonsson 24 Subs Wright 20 Connolly 27 Gemmill 34 Elliot 35 Nalis 33 You work out the average!
harry Posted 14 March 2006 Posted 14 March 2006 Sorry, I just checked. Pressman was 38. Dublin was 36. Just in case that side looked a bit on the youthful side.
Jamesino_LCFC Posted 14 March 2006 Posted 14 March 2006 I think its a great achievment, its all looking good for the future!
lookwhaticando Posted 14 March 2006 Posted 14 March 2006 Pressman 36 Tiatto 32 Heath 24 Dublin 35 Makin 32 Dabizas 32 Scowcroft 29 Williams 23 Big Trev 25 Wilcox 34 Gudjonsson 24 Subs Wright 20 Connolly 27 Gemmill 34 Elliot 35 Nalis 33 You work out the average! Starting 11 had an avg age of 29.9 And the squad of 16 was 29.875 Basically the average age was 29.9 and that's bloody high
Milky Posted 14 March 2006 Posted 14 March 2006 don't they say though that players are at there peak at 28, a team full of 28 year olds would be a decent side, though of course any success wouldn't be able to be sustained for future without new blood, as the french international side have found out. i think the average age of the world cup 98 side was 28.

Perhaps. But look at that line up. We had youth (early 20s) and experience (mid 30s) with very little in between. Having an average age of slightly above the 'peak' for footballers is all well and good - but not when the team consists of those 4 years below, or 4 years above. There's a slight difference On a slightly related note, if Scowcroft reached his peak when he was 28, how sh*t must he have been the rest of the time?
Strokes Posted 15 March 2006 Posted 15 March 2006 But, unlike Levein, doing the same thing Adams has that shower down the road challenging for the play-offs. We will be a much better team than they are next year though. Where they will be a year closer to retirement, we will be a years more experienced.
Ric Flair Posted 15 March 2006 Posted 15 March 2006 We will be a much better team than they are next year though. Where they will be a year closer to retirement, we will be a years more experienced. I heard somewhere the other day that Cov have got quite abit of money to spend next year, will be interesting to see how Adams wastes it. Instead of going for good lower league younger players, he'll fill the squad up with 32-33 year old premiership players who he'll pay 10k a week for a years free-ride.

I had heard they were due to be taken over during the close season and have significant investment in the team, fortunatly they have sombody in charge who is not very good with money
MONreborn Posted 15 March 2006 Posted 15 March 2006 I had heard they were due to be taken over during the close season and have significant investment in the team, fortunatly they have sombody in charge who is not very good with money To be Honest Adams has not been given the money to spend in all his time as manager. He has spent a good 500k on Connoly, Canero and Morris were at the time seen as good buys. He did not think williams would cost 500 grand. It will be interesting to see how he does with money to spend.
Chrysalis Posted 17 March 2006 Posted 17 March 2006 I would suggest peak is more like 26-27, some players peak later, I noticed also players declining sharply already at that age, I think both scholes and beckham are good examples of this.
newms Posted 17 March 2006 Posted 17 March 2006 Whatever people say about Adams in the Premiership season he didnt have much money and made a good fist of keeping us up. Just look how bad Sunderland have done with a bit more money
Milky Posted 17 March 2006 Posted 17 March 2006 Whatever people say about Adams in the Premiership season he didnt have much money and made a good fist of keeping us up. Just look how bad Sunderland have done with a bit more money i actually think he assembled a good enough side to stay up, in my opinion he through it away with his strange substitutions and disruptions late on in games leading to us throwing away leads again and again.

Holding to leads was a massive problem under Adams that year, should he have solved the problem early on, or even mid way through the season we would have stayed up.
