Popular Post The Constant Rabbit Posted June 26, 2023 Popular Post Report Share Posted June 26, 2023 Seeing Wells go straight to the canteen staff and give them a hug and handshake as soon as he walked in speaks volumes as to why he is so highly valued in the squad. It's the smallest of gestures that separate those that care and those going through the motions. Well done Nahki 20 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The other thing about Nakhi is his injury record, can't actually remember him missing a game through injury! Even that Holden/Pearson season where the treatment room must have resembled the London Dungeon, I think he played or was on the bench in pretty much every game? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bcfc01 Posted June 27, 2023 Report Share Posted June 27, 2023 There's a bit of a dark side to Rennie Reminds me of a Sergeant Major, takes no shite, but gives it out if necessary and knows his role inside out ! Probably NPs best signing. 6 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He said in his mini interview he’s been doing his coaching badges over the summer…a sign of a player wanting to prolong a career in pro football. I see that as a positive for him wanting longevity in his playing career. 27 minutes ago, bcfc01 said: There's a bit of a dark side to Rennie Reminds me of a Sergeant Major, takes no shite, but gives it out if necessary and knows his role inside out !

Jose Posted June 27, 2023 Report Share Posted June 27, 2023 Nahki Wells comes across as real good character to have around the place. Always smiling. Complete opposite to what he’s like on the pitch. Be interesting to see Ayman develops this season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He pushing them to their limits in order not because he is nasty but to help them perform to the best of their ability The squad built by Pearson, Tinman and others is one that wants to be winners and all will work hard, and appreciate the help that our coaching squad are using. I wish that we'd have had Rennie and his crew a few years back so that we could see the fiasco that would have been created by the Paterson's and Tomlin's in the squad.

Wow, that’s going to be awkward when he realises. Seems a lovely bloke and Sam being Sam brushes it off. In his first day vid? He asks him what’s he in for, is he injured or doing pre season work 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also for that running test it looks like Wells & Andi + a couple of younger kids were the best so he’s obviously still very fit for one of our older players. Andi you’d expect to be at the top of any long running stats. 13 hours ago, UpTheReds said: Benarous being in the preseason work today is good to see. Forgotten when we might be expecting him to be back, does anyone know if he's back to full fitness now? Or does he still have more time before he is back fully? As he seemed to be taking part in that running test I’d guess he’s not too far away. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OneCity Posted June 27, 2023 Report Share Posted June 27, 2023 Usually, I find blue in our kit objectionable training gear or otherwise...but this black/cyan combo cropped up in the video, and forgetting the antithetical overtones for a minute saw the makings of a pretty smart away kit - if they based one on this.

Although it might be significant that Benarous was with the U21s when it came to the full contact drill at the end that cranked the physical, competitive edge up a notch or two (from 12:20 on the video) So I suspect he has a way to go yet. For sure it was good to see him but he's got this far before and was then injured again, so let's keep our fingers crossed for him this time...

cidered abroad Posted June 27, 2023 Report Share Posted June 27, 2023 Why worry about the colour(s) used in training kit? It's the colours we play in on match day that matter. During my time, I've seen us play matches in FA Cup and league twice in borrowed blue and white quarters, Cardiff City blue, a yellow shirt at Grimsby because the ref thought that our red shirt clashed with their kit of black and white striped shirt and red shorts. There must be a few more that I don't remember or didn't see. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
petehinton Posted June 27, 2023 Report Share Posted June 27, 2023 really excellent piece here, and interesting to see Pearson told all local media to join them for the first day. I think he would’ve wanted anything but, for the last 2 pre seasons. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They also have white in their kit, our options are going to be a bit limited of we start moaning about that too. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bcfc01 Posted June 27, 2023 Report Share Posted June 27, 2023 Really pleased to see Benarous fully involved and "blitzing" the SDS test. He must have worked extremely hard to get to where he now is. Must be an inspiration to Atkinson. Look forward to seeing him this season. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
