    Signing 29th?

    Seeing the social media posts with the blue moon backing and the 29th in front surely will be another incoming. Was anyone at today’s game that seen any of the trialists from previous games? Can only make out from twitter that one got on.

    Anyone else got their tickets for barrow away?

    Hahaha that would make a lot more sense, 4 pints and a scroll through twitter had me over excited about a signing there!

    But LB's timelines for bringing in 2 more permanent signings has now passed. Was hoping to see at least one by now.

    Would it not be a better idea for our multitude of coaches to teach our 18 - 19s to be men and not little boys who fall down at the slightest physical contact. I mean this has been going on for years.

    An ideal example of what can be achieved by a 19 year old. Harvey Elliot of Liverpool

    Hopefully something can be done about the level of physicality. Strength and conditioning isn’t the difficult part of coaching. You see 18 year olds in the prem come through and they’re machines. It can make the difference at L2 level as well as you don’t need to be particularly good if you’re a great athlete, just look at Adama Traore. Hopefully see some additions before Barrow and ideally not loans

    Well for a start get rid of some of the second rate coaches. We have young midfielder graduates who are already in the 1st team who fall to the ground at the first chance. We have an under21 team that was an absolute disgrace last season hence our backup squad is virtually non existent. As the other poster sajd physical strength is not difficult to coach. Unless the system flows from academy side on we have no chance of progressing.

    Okay, right. My query was because of context. I hadn't understood at the time but now cleared up.
    Is it the falling down or injuries you're referring to, though. It's a 'thing' for all footballers, of whatever build, to collapse instantly the wind changes, never mind seriously tackled, nowadays.
