Matthew Mattis Thank you Phantom ,i like "Long Last " in defence ! Good to see the youngsters getting some game time against older and better players . I was told as a young un that you should always play those better than yourself in order to improve . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very wise words... I did that when learning to play Golf...got tonked everyday, but eventually got down to scratch, and ended up beating the ones I learnt off of. You also learn to not fear losing...but most of all, how to achieve when under pressure and when it counts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Red-Robbo Posted December 16, 2014 Report Share Posted December 16, 2014 How does the logic of "play them against older and better players, they'll learn from defeats" square with "don't play the youth, it'll demoralise them and could ruin their careers" which is what people said when there were calls to bring on youth players to the first team in the SOD disaster months?

It could demoralise them if they were thrown into the first team under the Spotlight and got beat up . As U 21's i would hope that they are under less pressure to win but more oriented towards learning the game and improving against a higher level of opponent ,so if they make the step up it's not too much of a shock.

But the call came at "dead rubber" games at the end of 12/13 when we were relegated anyway. There was no pressure - other than the challenge to perform with more heart than the senior players. Which it has to be said, wouldn't be hard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A number have established themselves in the adult game since. I find young players tend to play without fear and what they may miss in technique,they often compensate for in work rate and courage. But no, SOD opted to play the stiffs who had taken us down. So much for his youth policy.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least it would've been more entertaining. I blanked it out to be honest, as with most of SoD's reign it was uninspring rubbish, I just don't remember any young player of any note worth playing, we were also playing teams that ether weren't completely safe or still thought they could make the play-offs it isn't fair on the rest of the league to put out a weakened side (not that we had much strength), Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure he had his reasons... managers often make decisions that baffle us, because we are often not privy to what is going on behind the scenes. At least we seem to be progressing now... I'd encourage anyone to go and watch our development players, with an eye on watching how they are developing from game to game, rather than the end result. From what I've observed, our players now, are definitely more 'football astute' than they were before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nogbad the Bad Posted December 16, 2014 Report Share Posted December 16, 2014 Is there any point to the academy with the amount of players we lose to other clubs? And coaches for that matter... Very disheartening isn't it? Hard to see much point unless we can at least keep the best players long enough to shine in our first team, at which stage they'd go with everyone's best wishes if the club gets a good fee for them. Presuming they're local lads you'd think they'd at least want to make their mark at Ashton Gate, but deciding to stay with City if they get an offer from a Prem. club seems to be very much the exception. Not even just PL clubs either if Davies is going to Fulham. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
