daored Posted August 2, 2016 Report Share Posted August 2, 2016 Disappointed by Dowling as thought he was relatively close to first team. Thought may have gone to league 2 for a season Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dynamite Red Posted August 2, 2016 Report Share Posted August 2, 2016 Can train with the squad and learn plus play competitive mens football. Win, win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red Exile Posted August 2, 2016 Report Share Posted August 2, 2016 surprised at Dowling tbh...but I guess we have strength in midfield Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
P'head Red Posted August 2, 2016 Report Share Posted August 2, 2016 I think it's easy to forget Dowling is only 17. He needs mens football, and he'll get it regularly at weston. Shame he couldn't have gone to a conference national team, but it will aid his development. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spoons Posted August 2, 2016 Report Share Posted August 2, 2016 Proper mens football will be good for them, the physical side of the game in that league will add something to their game witch they won't get in there 5 star luxury academy! That is a coup for Weston to get those two. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Posset red Posted August 2, 2016 Report Share Posted August 2, 2016 I'm glad about this only because I have an interest in wsm fc and watch them when city are not playing seagulllsssssssssss Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bowie Posted August 2, 2016 Report Share Posted August 2, 2016 Conference South? Hoping the players really shine at that level, better to shine and play week in were out, than sit on a bench a bit high up pyramid maybe there till xmas then review with a look a Forest Green Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EmersonsKev Posted August 2, 2016 Report Share Posted August 2, 2016 Little disapointed at the standard of football, however as mentioned it's proper men's football. It didn't do Joe Bryan a great deal of harm going out to Bath. Best of luck to them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HomerRed Posted August 2, 2016 Report Share Posted August 2, 2016 Do the same loan rules apply at that level? I mean does it have to be until January? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tipps69 Posted August 2, 2016 Report Share Posted August 2, 2016 I'd like to think we maybe able to utilise local clubs that are playing at a lower level than us, send a few out to Cheltenham, Yeovil & FGR. Get them at a decent standard & establish some form of link with these clubs to help benefit us in the long term. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bs4Red Posted August 2, 2016 Report Share Posted August 2, 2016 You have to remember that they are both still young, going to Weston means not moving home and all that sort of thing. Also means they are close and can train with City still as Weston are not full time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would be quite hilarious if Rovers were to become our little feeder & development club..! I'm sure our camel loving cousins would appreciate the irony of watching our younger players develop before coming back to us, developed and ready for the step up to our higher level of football.

I purposely didn't include "that lot" as I wouldn't want to help them in any way, shape or form, not even sending them a Bas Savage as that would still improve them. I do think there would be some benefits of link with other local-ish clubs though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monkeh Posted August 3, 2016 Report Share Posted August 3, 2016 nether are good enough for the first team yet, so giving them mens football at a physical level will aid them no end, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes new loan rules this season state that the loan players can train and play for their parent club in any non first team games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EnderMB Posted August 3, 2016 Report Share Posted August 3, 2016 How long are the loan deals for? The level seems a bit low, which is no offence to Weston, but if we want to be promoting players through the academy we need a higher pedigree. If it's for 3-6 months, then at least we can move some players on to League 1 in January, should they prove themselves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CribbsRed Posted August 3, 2016 Report Share Posted August 3, 2016 I think it'll be a good move for both. Let's not forget that our U21's played two Southern League Premier Division sides (one step below the Conference South) in pre-season and recorded a narrow win and loss respectively. Previously McCoulsky played in the Isthmian Premier Division which is the same step as the Southern League Prem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Garycpos Posted August 3, 2016 Report Share Posted August 3, 2016 Never ever been a fan of U21 football as I call it "Fake Football" as when will you ever play in a match against virtually all the same age ?? also with the "old arses" you learn tricks/play that you just would not see at U21 level. I personally would love to see a "B" Team (Reserves) playing in a competitive league covering all ages and levels. I know people may disagree with me, but I am watching the new proposals coming out from the FA about just that, and it will be interesting to see which direction they want to take it after the consultation period. The lads will learn a lot from the experience, although sometimes loans to too low a level have their own problems with technical differences that cause over zealous tackles that can quite literally end someones playing career. I have seen this in the Welsh leagues so a note of caution needs to be considered on the team placement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EmersonsRed Posted August 3, 2016 Report Share Posted August 3, 2016 McCoulsky isn't good enough. He won't set the Conf. South alight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
