Moderators Casino Posted December 4, 2019 Moderators Share Posted December 4, 2019 Tbh, rather than having a full team of good uns who can probably go a long way in the comp, youre prob better having a couple of exceptional ones I dont think we have either, sadly Millwall do have to cup wins and another final under their belts I definitely have it in my head they are stronger than you would expect at under 18 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Farnywhite Posted December 5, 2019 Share Posted December 5, 2019 Remember Hill was critical of the younger players when he came in said the skill level was to low and they should be practicing more with the ball if him and flitcroft can beat them at head tennis there is something wrong . Probably a big overall in the summer including coaching staff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ErnestTurnip Posted December 5, 2019 Share Posted December 5, 2019 Hill said they were all gym bunnies and shit from a skills point of view but going off posts here we got done for strength and fitness as much as skill last night so maybe he was just talking bollocks and throwing soundbites around? Just a thought. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So big galloots, run a lot and fast, but not necessarily with a football brain. As opposed to someone with a bit of technical ability who plays with his head up and has great positional sense and movement. Surely there is a need for a blend of both types.

Roger_Dubuis Posted December 5, 2019 Share Posted December 5, 2019 Any Bolton youth players attracting money were sold by either Ken or the adminstrators.Celtic and Man City took a punt in the Bolton firesale The youth system is another area of the club inherited by FV which will take a couple of years to revive.There is basically Zouma who might become the next Danny Shittu, which is not to mock Zouma, Shittu had a career at second tier level.If we had five that good we'd be laughing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bolton va va Posted December 6, 2019 Share Posted December 6, 2019 4/5 ? years ago, BWFC youth team won some cup by beating City at City in the final & they looked a better team with better individual performances than this week's team. It would be interesting to see the team sheet from that night & what happened to them all. I think Holding played but didn't stand out.....i don't know if any of the others made it to 1st team level at Bolton or anywhere. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye. We got to round five where we lost to Leicester. The season before, Colchester and Blackpool were among the quarter finalists, with Blackpool losing to Arsenal in the semi. Colchester didn’t beat anyone noteworthy, though, and even lost 4-1 against Reading in the fifth round before getting the tie in the stewards’ room. Blackpool beat West Ham and Southampton along the way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
