Defor has now left the club as one of the youth team coaches, be interesting to see where hw goes next in his ma gerial career, did well at u18 level, really well, was brilliant with all the kids both his own and opposition.
Which is good, because we are building a network of our "ambassadors". Being likeable won't do us a harm in the long run.We seem to be a great place for producing coaches atm and giving opportunities
"Until next time"![]()
Call me crazy but id start him up top, not just because he scored yesterday but because he's what the team needs. A proper fox in the box and held it up well. even more pleasing than the goal was the run he made for it, very few goals did we score like that last year, very Kane like.Great night for the academy. Thought Devine, Moore, Hall, Donley, Lankshear all brilliant. It was frustrating to see Will replaced after 20minutes to accommodate Veliz getting minutes. Hope to see Will lead the line at Loftus Road on Saturday for at least a half.
My personal opinion of the next generation of English footballers coming through is that they are technically superior. I think players like Gallagher & rice may not be around in the England team for as long as they currently think.Off the back of Yamal, Williams and Mainoo tearing it up at the Euros, maybe the common consensus of what age prem players need to be, is yesterdays news?
We’ve seen Wharton’s fast rise to prominence, my gut feeling is that we have talent coming through, that should be thrown in.
The energy, exuberance and lack of inhibition….I vaguely remember those days.
