Robin Johnson 616 Posted April 21, 2021 Share Posted April 21, 2021 A pal of mine mentioned it to me regarding Bola. I found it to be highly improbable- he genuinely seems happy. Only thing is he could be homesick for the south Link to post Share on other sites
ManBearPig 1,853 Posted April 21, 2021 Share Posted April 21, 2021 4 hours ago, Neverbefore said: It's going to sound like I'm going on, but I don't really care - players are coached in a different way from youth level now adays. They aren't allowed to head the ball, English football has taken a turn towards the more technical, European style with less of an emphasis on physical attributes. As a result, logically there will be less players knocking around that will fit right into warnocks preferred style of play to an effective level. It's why these old school coaches are slowly but surely becoming redundant, they just don't fit the ethos of the game anymore - Bruce won't last past this season, big Sam is about to be relegated, pulis is practically unemployable now. You are correct. The FA are trying to get all grass route coaches right from Level 1 to get players to become masters of the ball. If anyone wants to look at this in more detail, Pete Sturgess is the absolute goat when it comes to getting young players to stay on the ball. Pulis ball will be dead in the future and to be honest with Warnocks appointment you can see it’s not as effective as it once was anyway. 2 Link to post Share on other sites

Signed him from Sunderland last summer i think mate. Or he was released by them. Played in a few pre season friendlies last summer if memory serves me right Link to post Share on other sites

Neverbefore 10,938 Posted April 21, 2021 Share Posted April 21, 2021 If we're to assume that coulson and Spence are out the door too, either on loan or otherwise that leaves our squad with 14 players with proper first team experience - GK - Stojanovic Df- Dijksteel, hall, McNair, Bola, fry Mf - Morsy, howson, saville, Tav, wing, browne Fw - Akpom, watmore Out of that list we know Warnock doesn't rate wing, akpom and Stojanovic. We've no idea what shape Browne will come back in/when or what Warnock thinks of him. Saville, he rarely talks about and has him out of the lineup when everyone is fit in the second half of the season generally. So essentially we have 9 players in the squad that we know Warnock wants here. This is remarkable. How much worse run could we possibly get? 1 Link to post Share on other sites

He sounds exotic, so he's fine by me. If he was called William Brown or something, I wouldn't fancy him! 2 Link to post Share on other sites
