This is a very interesting thread. As a young lad I had trials at Rochdale and even though I'am naturally left footed and have played most of life as a forward or on the wing I was put at right back for nearly all the game I played. Luckily for me the game was abandoned and a new date was set for the trial so I did get chance to play upfront were I had always played. I found it quite difficult though as nearly every ball played to me was way above my head which to a 15 year old who was only about 5ft4 at the time it was very difficult. About a week later I recieved a call from Rochdale to say that I had been unsuccessful in my trial as I was far too small. Now having got a bit older and in my midtwenties i have grown a few inches although still a little small and also gained a bit of weight. I'am now considered past it as far as ever getting a chance to play for a league club.

I find it quite silly really that many players are lost such as myself because they are judged way before they are fully grown and its not taken into account that some people mature physically slower than other people. I have since given up football as like has already been said pitches are very poor and for somebody that uses pace and first touch to have an impact on a game it is very difficult.

This has gone way out of proportion, Davies is on a bad run with low confidence and the last thing he needs is slagging off. I fhe can get a goal next week we will see a different player.

I think Davies is just a bit clueless sometimes due to him being a young lad but will improve especially when he gets back on track and notches a goal or two.

Why don't we use the design for the blue and burgandy one and change the colours to tangerine and blue, then use it as the home kit with white as the 2nd kit.
