Cowshed Posted August 1, 2018 Report Share Posted August 1, 2018 10 minutes ago, Nogbad the Bad said: I've no doubt growing up in the Academy, and therefore seeing at close hand the life styles ( and holidays, cars etc.) of the pros. would have some influence on a 14/15 year old. Even if he didn't love football per se, he was naturally talented and would have been intelligent enough to see it was not only a potentially very lucrative way to make a living, but also a very attractive lifestyle in prospect, and that would be a strong incentive (emphasised strongly by Dad and his coaches, no doubt) for any teenager having temporary doubts about carrying on. You are talking about extrinsic motivations. Very poor drivers of the mindset that leads to improvement in sport ... A me now here mindset is one of failure unless it is coupled with the intrinsic - Burning desire to play, practice and improve day in day out.

Phileas Fogg Posted August 1, 2018 Report Share Posted August 1, 2018 1 hour ago, Cowshed said: In other threads Bobby Reids extra training is used as an example of how he has worked at his game. Loads don't. The motivated do. It’s not that abnormal, just for some reason very well known that Reid and Bryan have done some training outside of their pre-season stuff. All this because someone said Bryan doesn’t seem the type to be a typical football fan if he wasn’t a player! You really could argue until the cows come home, no pun!

I would politely suggest 11000 + posts … I did not suggest it was abnormal, but highlights a player being motivated and driven. Reid appears on Back2actions website, and with Joe Bryan on their twitter feed, their shirts are on that gyms wall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clubs can talk to his agent as much as they like, they need us to accept an offer. Given how much smoke there is in the media about interest in him, I really don't think it's news if clubs have spoken to his agent Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree with that, but I think there's enough in the papers to make it apparent there is interest. I guess the closer we get to the deadline the more important it is whether a bid has been made Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think JB will play because he has to. Kelly has had no preseason minutes and Bryan the only other realitic option. Pring looked good but wasn’t even playing in any conference league last season.

With Bryan there’s only one game before it closes. Has to make a difference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WECANDO Posted August 2, 2018 Report Share Posted August 2, 2018 Pring looks a real talent. Against the Shrews and Bournemouth he showed he has real pace and more than held his own. When he pushes up the pitch he's pretty much unstoppable and can get a cross in. But who will on the end of those crosses? If I was LJ he would start on the bench but I wouldn’t hesitate to put him on. He's the sort of player who gets the fans on the edge of their seats.

Seen him play a few times in the '23's, always stood out. Also James Morton very impressive. Good to see him flagged up by the coach. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its very well known because the pros are going to similar places to train and obviously people see it.

Nope, started with Wright and Hegeler for first 2 League games, Baker and Hegeler for cup v Plymouth (both scored I think), then Baker and Wright for 3 draws (interspersed with Flint partnering Mags in the 3-2 win in the cup). Flint eventually starting his first league game after the transfer window closed, and the international break to score the winner at Reading.

Selred Posted August 2, 2018 Report Share Posted August 2, 2018 Do we think we may get a left back in tomorrow just in case Bryan goes? Prem teams have another week to swoop for players, but am I right in thinking our window shuts tomorrow? So if an offer came in for Bryan next week and we didn’t have a replacement Bryan can go?
