ACF Posted 26 August 2023 Share Posted 26 August 2023 I am very excited to see Braybrooke and Alves in this system. Any word on how Ben Nelson is tracking? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just came here to post this. With Nelson, Braybrooke and Alves still to come in, think we'll have a really well-rounded squad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shane Posted 27 August 2023 Share Posted 27 August 2023 I think Enzo would have really liked Popov and his ability to press high. Hopefully he is back soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do wish we'd do more with staff at the club, especially after investing so much in facilities. Need to go out and be investing the "next Maresca" already to come in and coach the youth teams. Actually work on developing young coaches as well as players. Go out and properly talent spot. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I bet we’ve got someone lurking who could do a better job now even temporarily! I know it’s different but our u16 and below coaches are very highly regarded.

We’ve got a better functioning turf academy than our actual one. But of course it’s not that simple, we don’t know what actually goes, if only it was that simple, it’s not all down to one person, other clubs have bad coaches, the academy has been productive… Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimmy Posted 27 August 2023 Share Posted 27 August 2023 would have thought Ben Nelson would have gotten a run out, maybe on Tuesday? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We’re making good players. But they either go straight into the first team from U18 level or go out on loan. So it might be worth promoting some of the age group staff. Our U21 set up is honking, but that’s probably also a symptom of how poor the format is. There’s no incentive not to loan your best talent out because the standard at 21 level is so poor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But for me I just think that's all the more reason to specialise even more, to step up even more to invest in that area. Especially as its a major source of revenue as well as, looking to sell players on a la Chelsea and Co. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
South Shire Fox Posted 27 August 2023 Share Posted 27 August 2023 (edited) Villa reject starts then hooked at half time, Villa reject sent off last week. Big daddy Petty looks after his Villa boys. Fortunately with Maresca he seems like the sort of bloke who will voice his opinion on the academy and how its being managed as appose to Rodgers Edited 27 August 2023 by South Shire Fox 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Add to the 85m made on selling Barnes and Chilwell. Coaching can't be all bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suppose there is the question of timing - maresca hasn't been here that long, and people have contracts, it's not always possible to make such dramatic changes straight away. Maybe maresca likes petty and wants to see what he can do? We don't know, we just have to hope that something clicks or, if not, something changes...
