yarddog73 Posted February 1, 2023 Share Posted February 1, 2023 Absolutely fucking scandalous how we've played a succession of absolute fucking wet wipes in our midfield this season (and continue to do so) yet this lad couldn't get a sniff in probably the worst midfield in the clubs history. Wish the lad all the best he's better off away where his undoubted ability will be appreciated, always lifted us when he came on and did his best under the circumstances, never given a chance but will do just fine at an higher level than ours.

Sloshed Joe Posted February 1, 2023 Share Posted February 1, 2023 Enjoyed this parting quote from Harry, which could be interpreted as a slight dig at Unsworth (and maybe Shez) “There is a clear pathway for young players to come to Cottingham and train with the first-team and get the opportunity. “I would say I am creative and technical. I am quite small, but I don’t shy out of a tackle. I am aggressive out of possession and I feel like I am a good dribbler” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lee Sinnott Posted February 1, 2023 Share Posted February 1, 2023 Nobody from Everton then? Before anyone chips in, no I'm not bothered about it, but the talk when Unsworth came in (from fans and Unsworth himself) was that he would utilise his links at Everton and be able to bring in some top prospects on loan. Very strange that they wouldn't send him any of their young talent... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm glad he's been allowed to go and kick on, Unsworth digging him out after Altrincham was a cunts trick and the fact the lad kept his head down and screwed the nut was all the more credit to him.

It is strange given the early noise and I don't think Dyche would be opposed to the odd fringe player coming here, we can still bring in Prem loans can't we?.

Not just by Unsworth It wasn't a cunts trick. He didn't really dig him out. He only said for the goal Harry needed to track more defensively.

Chesterfield local press spinning a story making out that Colclough only ever wanted to go to Chesterfield despite interest from other clubs in the division... Which hints at him turning us down rather than us/frank pulling the plug... Always said he'd go on to play at a higher level and couldn't get a look in. Most naturally talented footballer at the club. It just feels like it was Unsworth’s ego that prevented any progress. I know which of the two I'd still prefer to be at the club.

It is a shame, for all the nice words Unsworth says about Harry, that he didn’t actually give the lad a chance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nzlatic Posted February 1, 2023 Share Posted February 1, 2023 It's not just Unsworth, it's a succession of managers that haven't fancied him to do the job we need. Also, no manager in the NL, L2 or L1 has come in for him either. It's a championship academy side, the likes of which sends us players from time to time and we moan about us taking them as they're lightweight rather than playing our own. He's talented, but maybe a championship academy is actually all he's ready for at the moment? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surely the purpose of an Academy is to provide a pathway and blood players?, this was never going to happen under Unsworth, for me it's short sighted and begs the question is it really worth having particularly under a manager who only seems interested in you if you are dating the daughter.

My guess with Peck would be scrambling around a bit to try and get some decent footballers in. In the end the formation he's going with at the moment doesn't have any room for Peck to play in his proper position. Plus I suppose you never really know if a young player who's on his first loan is the right fit until you get him in. Hence a short term youth loan. It's a low risk strategy. I'd hope the longer term plan is to bring players through from our youth system and have a proper, regular pathway into the first team. But like everything else at the moment, I'm not stressing too much that that hasn't happened a few months into the new ownership while everyone is finding their feet. Doesn't mean it never will happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I'm often critical of Unsworth but that's 4 or 5 managers now who haven't played Vaughan, so there's obviously a recurring theme. He's always looked technically good when coming on but I don't think he'd have been the messiah some seem to think he was. The issue with our midfield for years has been that it's too lightweight Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BP1960 Posted February 1, 2023 Share Posted February 1, 2023 So we now have two former youth team players at a Championship club, one who never got a first team game and the other rarely under the current management.

Shrek Posted February 1, 2023 Share Posted February 1, 2023 Vaughan is a talent but physically not ready for the mens game. A view shared within his camp. It's felt it was better for him to develop in the youth set up somewhere than be kicked up and down by plumbers in the national leagues. My view is he's not good enough for our starting 11. If we've got more than the fee we paid for Nutall and a decent sell on clause It's a good move for all parties. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
