Just the kids early doors. Certainly worth keeping, division 4 isn't the best league, and the lad cares for the club. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His career was always going to head on a downward spiral ever since he was on the Sky Sports News ticker on deadline day when Rog’s lot were rumoured to be signing him.

Darcy reminds me of a young enthusiastic Josh Vela, before he started reading his own reviews. And going to pubs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On the downside he’s far weaker and more slight On the positive side you can tell he has a good football brain and 2 decent feet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You cant teach that, both of them have that football brain in spades. Darcy doesn't have Clough's finishing ability but he beats him for tenacity and pace, and in today's game those qualities will get you picked ahead of someone more reliant on touch and getting chances to score.

Members Rudy Posted January 19, 2020 Members Share Posted January 19, 2020 Darcy has a special ability he knows what he’ll do with the ball 3 passes before he gets. Always looking over his shoulder before he gets the ball, always knowing what space he’ll take his first touch into. Fabregas, Xavi, Iniesta, Gerrard Scholes all did that and you can’t teach it, it’s a great skill to have. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Take Hunt Off Posted January 19, 2020 Share Posted January 19, 2020 Darcy can only get better imo .The bigger clubs will be sniffing around very soon.Its sad but a fact of life.Hope to Christ if he does move it will be to a prem club (excluding Burnley) & not any of our six fingered Lancashire neighbours.

He’s way off prem and championship let’s not get giddy, he’s got potential but a million miles of bigger clubs signing him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be honest what the kids offered showed a different way of playing and a level of schooling that we haven't seen for a while. Obviously way off physically and in terms of experience but that comes. I remember watching our reserves thumping utd's 3-1. There's contained kids who played a different game. Just our experienced players won it. Not long after their 'kids' won the league. Hopefully, we might see more of Darcy if we play like we did second half yesterday. Passing and moving. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bwfcfan5 Posted January 20, 2020 Share Posted January 20, 2020 Darcy created our two best chances from the right against Pompey. Looked a class above the rest on that pitch to me - how O'Grady missed is beyond me after a wonderful cross from RD. I think Darcy has everything in his locker to be a top player - needs to be a bit stronger but no reason he cannot. What his major problem will be is where he plays. He's a bit "not one thing or another" to me right now. In a poor side he's willing enough to do a job anywhere BUT he's not a central midfield player nor really a number 10 (yet anyway) and you need a very specific way of playing if he joins in from the right. I do like him but worry that he needs to find where he can be really effective on the pitch every game - and not sure he's found that role yet. But for me someone we absolutely must build around next season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
