GrimsbyBoro 1,959 Posted April 24, 2021 Share Posted April 24, 2021 Warnock has previously described Coburn as John Stead like and you can see why from that goal and performance. really pleased for the lad. 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites

It'd be great to have a Jon Stead-type player, but what we really need is a John Wick-type player. That'd make matchdays worth watching again... 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Downsouth 6,175 Posted April 24, 2021 Share Posted April 24, 2021 Turned out rather well I thought especially the second half. Bolasie is becoming a very important player to keep hold of. @RiseAgainst well done Luton away next Saturday 3 Link to post Share on other sites

If he's willing to take the big paycut I'd almost certainly have him back as it stands. Remains to be seen whether we will have the resources and pull to snap him up whilst also funding other important transfers though. He seems happy but he generally seems like quite a positive person anyway. 2 Link to post Share on other sites
GrimsbyBoro 1,959 Posted April 24, 2021 Share Posted April 24, 2021 I can’t see a premier league team coming in for Bolasie so we might have a good chance as long as a relegated team don’t fancy him or a team from Turkey. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
sanddancer 1,964 Posted April 24, 2021 Share Posted April 24, 2021 Very busy collating end of year accounts so not watched any football today but did look at the stats. I believe in our youth and we have seen many a superstar get a break around 17 / 18 years old so why are we holding back? Why is NW so hesitant putting energetic young players on when we have had some good games when they have been given the chance. NW just brought in a squad of underperforming players and a keeper that that’s cost us around 9 points this season so I just don’t trust him to guide our youth in modern football.

That just isn't true. Our expectations for youth players are often warped by the rise of the occasional teenage wunderkind. The reality is that the vast majority of players don't see proper 1st team action until their early 20s. Plenty of world class players were absolutely nowhere in their teenage years. 3 Link to post Share on other sites

While clinically slaughtering the entire opposition team might guarantee more wins, I think the FA might take issue with it... 1 Link to post Share on other sites

My mistake I assumed many a super star would indicate the few not the many as not everyone can be outstandingly successful. I understand and appreciate what you imply as there is a great physical difference between 18 and late 20 year olds and there is a fine line between being ready and nearly ready. I do love the energy, the speed they bring to the game. NW coaching today’s footballers is akin to Sterling Moss and Hamilton, both great but in different decades.

Neverbefore 10,695 Posted April 25, 2021 Share Posted April 25, 2021 Been out all weekend and way too lazy to read through the whole thread. Would anyone be a saint and summarise the game for me? How we played, who impressed, who didn't? Cheers in advance! Link to post Share on other sites
