Subject: New season

A 31 day injury to my 17yo no.1 trainee this week has really made me think about scrapping the training & going into rest mode again.Why even allow a 17yo to get such an injury!?.

they obviously knew how good he was and took him out..... im sure he will bounce back and get stuck into training soon ;)

hows your other 19 yr old Harry doing? :P

Yeah Harry's still improving but should be overtaken by the 16/17yos coming through over the next couple of seasons.He was just too old at 18 when I restarted training to get to top level but the younger ones should have a chance if I stick with it.

brilliant mate ;)

So another massive match tonight ....beaten 2-1 last match vs Georgia, could blame the 3rd min injury but overall Georgia deserved that win... looking to shake it up a bit today, will either be spectacular or spectacularly unbelievable :P
we are still in the chase no matter result but great to see players improving as they are ;)

keep up the great work

would have got a 60 rating if our keeper turned up ;)

awesome performance , thank you all for the training and we go onto next week ;)

Centre backs were unbelievable , wing backs brilliant...... midfield played as it should and the strikers played their part.....

Please keep up all your great work :P

3 more games?

that was only for the Georgia match :P

The Luxembourg match was a cringefest for our strikers although the midfield and defence were quite solid. We have a friendly this week vs New Zealand, i did ask if wanted to be U20 but he wants U21.
I will play a bit of a mixed bag vs New Zealand as want to give others a chance but also need the training for some players , just hope i can avoid injuries as have a big match the following week ;)
as always ...... keep up the good work with training and hopefully we get lucky with Juniors :P

That was a difficult match, fair play to Denmark for making it as close as it was. The game could have went either way , 4-1 for me didnt reflect the score could have been 4-3.
was a great game and missing Hastings and dropping Smart for this one wouldnt have helped but delighted overall with the squad performance.
Thats us qualified for u21 WC but looking to get a result next week!!

Denmark made it a close tournament
