    I think if that interview was posted at the end of January it would be a great read. After the last five weeks, not so much so.

    Albert, Barbet, Moses definitely. With the others I think they'll want to assess at the end of the season. Will depend on what Division we will play in, the players progression or lack of it - Owens and Barnes, and if they can manage another season at our level then Wallace and Marshall. Ball may want to go somewhere else to get more games.

    I might be a bit thick but I don’t understand this at all. Are we expecting to play exclusively on very narrow pitches from now on? Although the addition of graphics highlighting certain players and drawing lines between them, just like on MOTD, was excellent, proving, definitively now I think, that the shortest distance between two objects is a straight line (relativity, time and other dimensions excluded).

    Seriously, I’d like to know if this is impressive, from those who have more than my basic FA coaching badge.

    Agree with your three definites, would also add Ball into that group too. I still believe Ball fulfills an important role and would like to see him and Field together as our defensive midfield.

    I agree Ball was brilliant when he had to replace Sanderson against Blackpool

    No chance Notts Florist will sign them all.

    I've no idea either. Maybe Bob will know. I didn't know you had a coaching badge.

    Ancient and the most basic one available, from when I was coaching Will’s team when he was between 8 and 11, before he switched to rugby. It was a (good) requirement of the league, and all 4 of us parents who coached did the course, the other three over several weeks, me over two weekends. I did it with a bunch of people at least 20 years younger than me, all hoping to be able to coach in the summer in the US. As far as I remember there was a lot of child protection, health and safety and basic first aid (where I did my CPR), plus a lot on warm ups and training drills. No tactics or stuff like that. You had to devise your own warm up and run it with the other participants. So I did about ten warm up exercises in quick succession and was knackered.

    One of the players in the team was the son of Lee Carsley, now England U21 coach, then playing for Everton I think. A lovely bloke, came along whenever he could, no hint of criticism, always ‘thanks for letting them enjoy themselves’. Unlike some of the other parents, who didn’t like our policy of rotating players positions, believing that it’s nuts to badge a kid as a right back at age 9.

    I did Level 1 and Level 2 SFA coaching badges when I was helping with my sons team, before he ditched the boots for drum sticks. Soul destroying getting up at dawn on a weekend to watch kids run around in the pissing rain when you've been knocking your pan in all week, but it's what you do for your kids!

    I think Ball is good back up for Field and as he can play other defensive positions he may well get offered a new contract. But as said he may want more playing time than he is getting with us.

    He deserves more time on the pitch in my opinion especially with us in a rut. Came on, out of position, against Blackpool and was superb. **** Hendrick.

    Ball isn't good enough to be getting much more game time imo. Field has been a huge improvement in that position since he came back. You must have a real hard on for Hendrick.

    He’s ****ing ****. Don’t get it when we desperately needed literally every other position.
