Lord Snooty Posted January 20, 2017 Share Posted January 20, 2017 Two great goals there from the boys! Superb counter attack the first one. Breaking at speed. The desire to burn up the yards. And a lovely cool finish. And the free-kick. Boom! What a strike. Great to see! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

g-owls Posted January 20, 2017 Share Posted January 20, 2017 The grandson of a guy I know in Gainsborough plays for the Under 15's, he wrote something on facebook earlier today that he'd been to see his grandson play at Hillsborough. Elliott Vasalo, who I'm pretty certain was the lad who made the run and assist for the opening goal. I've been told that the coaches are really happy with his development so far and David Hirst has, at some point given some complimentary words. Also, going on what his grandad has said the coaching set up and the way in which they operate is second to none, the club really do look after the players, improving their skills on the pitch but also stressing that there's still a long long way to go if they want to turn pro, and to get there requires the right attitude etc etc. Long may it continue.

This is what I love most at the mo, all our age groups are so well run and it shows. Its no longer a case of "if you can kick the ball in the right direction" then you are in, now it's more "if you dont step up every day of the week you are gone, because we've got someone else who can step up and wants your place" I think we have more talent now across the age groups than we have had in the previous 20 years combined.

Well look at it this way mate, 5 years ago we were all getting excited about the wonderous prospect that was Nathan Modest.........that went well Now look, we just let one of the last "products" in our old youth system leave in Devante Rodney because clearly they dont feel he is good enough at all, and watching our u23s, and under 18s you really can see why Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What I do remember is the feeling when we were served the winding up order. It feels a million miles away now but the shadow still haunts me. Any comment on our academy set up vs S2 now? Recently I believe they were quite a ways ahead of us. Sounds like now we may be more competitive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm just impressed with the complete change in our academies, and I love the fact that all the age groups play the same tactics and formation as the first team, so if anyone gets called up to the next level they can fit straight in Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nevthelodgemoorowl Posted January 20, 2017 Share Posted January 20, 2017 The second goal, the 27 yard free kick reminded me of The Sheridan goal against Manure, that sound of leather on metal as the ball went in off the post. A short yet impressive clip ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So they're still producing quality prospects. I feel we're getting much closer to having that kind of player come through, but it takes 8-10 years to reverse the state we'd allowed our system to get into.

HanSolo Posted January 20, 2017 Share Posted January 20, 2017 The lad who scored the free kick, Corey Glaves, is my mates son. He's also a regular for Wales U15s. Been following his career for a while, and he's definitely an exciting prospect. Proud of the young man. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bazinga Posted January 20, 2017 Share Posted January 20, 2017 Anyone know the lineup of the squad? I used to coach under 10s football a few years ago and lost about half my team to the swfc academy who will now be this age group. Just wondering if any have made the grade!

Mike Hunt Posted January 20, 2017 Share Posted January 20, 2017 To put a free kick in from that distance from someone so young is very impressive . First goal not to shabby either . Seems like we are eventually getting things right with our juniors . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
