Thought he looked good when he played for us but clearly Bradford didn’t for them I thoroughly enjoyed his spell with us. He was never a lone striker. He played better dropping back, pulling the strings and coming through on the blind side. He an pass, create and finish is stunning fashion, but he was never a lone striker. Poor Bradford management. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oafc1955 Posted April 23, 2021 Share Posted April 23, 2021 The guy is technically excellent but has neither the desire or passion to give his all for the team. He may well have had a bust up but he was on our bench or injured more often than not and the fact that the same thing has happened at Bradford confirms it. Very good footballer but just can’t be arsed!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SweeperKeeper Posted April 23, 2021 Share Posted April 23, 2021 His big issue is that he didn't wave his arms enough and celebrate enthusiastically enough to keep certain fans happy. Nothing wrong with his contribution or attitude. He was dropping back trying to make things happen when other players had let their heads drop. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rowe has goals in him- just needs to be used right. Not sure we did but he still scored a few beauties. I was disappointed when he went, but there are more goals in this side than I expected. Thanks for the memories Dan, good luck. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lee Sinnott2 Posted April 28, 2021 Share Posted April 28, 2021 Salford seem to have been justified in sacking Wellens (perhaps a bit biased because I will never forgive the man for taking us down). Now look good value for the playoffs... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And we're left with nobody that really approaches being a home grown first team regular despite the strategy (ha!) of focusing on the academy.

There are four or five who could/should feature: Vaughan Da Silva Luamba Hough Sutton All have been in and around the first team squad this season.

As per my post none approaches being a first team regular . Have any of them actually played a full 90 minutes in a league game? Until there is some sort of intermediate level between youth and first team I can't see the number breaking through as being anything other than very small indeed. If that's the case then the function of the academy is more to produce young prospects such as the lad who went to Liverpool earlier this year (aged 12 I think) than to provide a path to the first team.

Sutton and Hough have done so in the Papa John’s and Luamba did start Away at Grimsby. Surely one or two will be given a chance? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd guess so but such a massive leap from youth football to league football. Wracking my brains for who was the last before Hamer to really make the transition. I think it's probably Edmondson so none at all under the current regime. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is a leap, but If you’re good enough, you’re good enough. We’ll only know that by giving them a chance- I’d have thought these last two games are an ideal opportunity. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
