It's the best way to prove people wrong and show you're good enough. Plenty of players have come back and had good careers after being let go. There are many reasons, but it's all opinions in the end. I hope he does well, but I always thought Conway had more about him. I'll keep an eye on Yeovil for the rest of the season though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Major Isewater Posted November 12, 2022 Report Share Posted November 12, 2022 The club gave him a good contract and a chance to step up which he failed to do. He also had top coaching, training and medical facilities but despite all that he decries Bristol City. Grow a pair young man ,prove yourself. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
View from the Dolman Posted January 6, 2023 Report Share Posted January 6, 2023 Has now left Yeovil by "mutual consent". "Forwards Britton & Scrimshaw both leave the Club via mutual consent.

GrahamC Posted January 6, 2023 Report Share Posted January 6, 2023 Rumoured to be signing for Chorley. I mean good luck to the lad but he’s a very long way down the football pyramid now for someone we were repeatedly being told by some that letting him leave was a “massive mistake”. Before anyone compares Towler with him, a successful L2 loan followed by an apparent 3 year contract from Pompey today is simply chalk & cheese as far as career paths go. 14 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

petehinton Posted January 6, 2023 Report Share Posted January 6, 2023 It’s almost as if our manager who’s been in football for 40+ years could know what it takes for a player to be league standard Be surprised if the lad is still playing in 3-4 years at this rate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr X Posted January 6, 2023 Report Share Posted January 6, 2023 Looks as if he'll end up back at Mangotsfield or similar club at the level where we signed him from. At least he'll always be able to say he's scored a goal in the Championship, better than any of us! 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You think that you see something in a player but they can’t cut it for whatever reason. He has to find his level and enjoy football again, a level that looks increasingly like it will be lower than people thought after he scored against Brentford. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But we are just punters venting off most of the time and the early replies on this thread prove it. What we need to bear in mind in these situations is that whilst the pro’s do get it wrong occasionally they also get it right on players the vast majority of the time. All you have to do is go through the list of players we have released in the last five seasons and see who has proven the club completely wrong……..I would suggest nobody. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As @Numero Unostates, let’s hope he gets back to enjoying his football and a settled period for him. No, a lot of people would have liked another local boy done good story. What is galling for people is the way he and his supporters have thrown so much mud at the club, when the club have been shown to have done the right thing. Look at Ryley Towler's leaving statement and you will see a young man who is grateful for the opportunity to build a career, even if ultimately it's outside of Bristol. 6 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s an extremely hard job to make it as a pro full stop as a young player and even harder to do what the likes of Scott and Conway have done. You need a certain desire and talent to go with the obvious ability. No disrespect meant to anyone but people like Scott and Conway don’t turn up half a stone overweight or over their pre-Season target weight. They don’t get overawed playing with experienced pro’s and they don’t need 50 games on loan to get up to speed. That’s why they get picked and others don’t. They have an unusual mentality for their age, that’s the difference. 2 1 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You make a good point about dedication with younger and indeed older players. Things are very different now to years back when players, after a home win, would go out on the town with teammates and have a good night. Now, if camera phones and social media were not enough, the sport science guys at the club would have a field day with you on a Monday morning! Whilst your non footballer mates would be out you would be at home recovering and watching MOTD then bedtime - tough for a young man to accept 40+ weeks of the year. Nowadays, you are effectively a professional athlete and have to show the dedication required. I think it helps if you love football and not just love being a footballer. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reality is you'll see this a lot with local lads who have friends and family on here and social media. Best to take what is said by obvious supporters of these players with a pinch of salt, but they only want what they think is right for their mate/relative. 5 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What they've all lacked isn't ability but the correct mentality - attitude - personality - call it what you will. Their feet have been fine but not What's between their ears. At last we have a manager who knows what it takes to be a top class player in terms of technique and also psychology. He's been there and done it. Now we all need to buckle up, listen and learn. And so long as we don't go down, we'll all be much better off for the experience. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's young and hopefully sorts himself out, but as others have said he should let his football do the talking because at the moment, his comments about Pearson when he left look pretty silly. He had a poor attitude at Yeovil too, partly why Cooper got rid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
