ZiderEyed Posted April 27, 2018 Report Share Posted April 27, 2018 3 hours ago, The Bard said: It also shows that maybe the decision making at Academies is absolutely key. The traditional 'he's too small' mentality could have been used but those who made the decision at the time could see he would develop later physically and so needed to give him more time. Having said that, it was only when he realised that he was short in certain areas and did something about it that he took off... It's 100% a cliche but lower down the footballing pyramid there is a staggering amount of kids with 'footballing brains' that don't make the grade. If you're fast, strong and tall then you stand in a much better stead of making it. Huge credit to Bobby here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He seems to be a huge influence, if only we could of had them both or get Rayon working with others. I think he may also oversee Joe if I remember rightly. Info from a relative, and I’ve met Rayon at a work event (before Bolasie). Silky skills? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For some reason I assumed all the players live up in cilfton or out failand way. Never see Bobby drinking in the Stillage mind! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hey, don’t knock it. He deliberately stayed close to his Mum and family instead of moving to Portishead with the rest of them. If that’s made him happy and able to play so well this season then power to him for being his own person. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I take your, point, in part...although culturally in football I would suggest it would be the exception, and not the norm, to call the Manager/Head Coach by their first name (at least not in an interview for public consumption). Alex...Arsene...Jose... I don't know, maybe it's the way it's done in 2018. Maybe I am reading too much into it, but it just struck me as unusual. I would have expected 'The Gaffer' or some such, instead, just not Lee. To flip it on its head, how many of us call our boss 'The Gaffer'...

OldlandReddies Posted April 27, 2018 Report Share Posted April 27, 2018 He has had an outstanding season. Deserves a shot at the Prem based on his performances and i think he will be offered the chance. We will get 10 million+ for him but will be very lucky to replace his relentless energy, goals and assists. Good luck to him, he deserves it.

Xiled Posted April 27, 2018 Report Share Posted April 27, 2018 Quote He was not a strong runner. He could cover distances but he fatigued quite early on in games, after about an hour. Bobby now has stamina like very few others. Big credit to him for realising that success was there for the taking - with hard work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
