Aye pace helped Vardy. He was also hungry, had a point to prove, and didnt care who he trod on to make it. Real non league attitude of dog eat dog.

I watched Che Adams for a few months in non league football. He had all the ability, it was as clear as day. He was quick and explosive as well. It was crystal clear to me he was at least a championship player in the making. Watch enough players and the levels become clear. I told a couple of clubs higher up the food chain about him but they didnt send a scout. Still a stick ai beat them with.

I coached a lad at u16 recently who is levels ahead. He can be whatever he wants, but he has to want it. I went to see him over Christmas where he was on the bench for a non league side. He came and warmed up next to me and we talked (love non league <laugh>) and asked if he would play and he actually said probably not, I am a filler. I bollocked him, he is so much better. He got 15 mins and shone. I had a coffee in the bar after with him and tried to hammer him on attitude. He is to laid back. His hunger isnt there. Makes me cry a bit to be honest. A couple of years ago same thing, best lad I ever coached, and 2 others coaches said the same, stepped away at 16 to focus on school. Fair enough, and I spent hours talking to parents, but I see him now around and about and he is loving Uni and has bit hopes.

Sorry, loads of rambling nonsense, but if Langstaff has the hunger and the talent we might do ok.

Do you reckon you can tell a future prospect at 9 or 10 or as that too young?

Fair assessment this. Id agree about his positional play n finishing is very good - takes shots early n strikes cleanly. Where i worry about him is his all round game with us n he lacks the pace to truly stretch the game, both areas didnt stand out when i watched him

I know a lot keep saying vardy was a late developer, the difference that he had was unreal pace which causes defenses problems at any level

Hope if it is him he can adapt to the quality of the championship quickly

Doesn’t really need pace with our slow build up play now

I regularly work in and around ‘Boro. Know plenty of them, ST holders too. They really dislike us.

I worked in boro for two years, they hate the mags and sort of dislike us and Leeds. The ones I know well just think the mags get all the attention, and I’m going back to the 90s here, and we’re just like them, struggling to get airtime.
