Such an impressive young man. The most interesting bit for me is Didzy’s advice to him - keep trying to play forward and through the lines, even though you’re being told to go backwards or sideways.

Lol. I'm not sure I heard the "even though you're being told to go backwards or sideways" part. Originally Posted by nw6pie

Loved the interview, but also saddened by it. From his first day George Abbott has consistently given everything I ask from a player in a Notts shirt, not just ability but never less than 100% effort, commitment and passion. It's been a genuine pleasure to have him, the sad thing is that it will be for another 3 games at most. I hope he leaves us with what he deserves, a promotion on his CV.

You must have done, because he says it about 4:40 minutes before the end of the clip. Originally Posted by IPieWithMyLittleEye

We have one idiot telling Didzy not to shoot from outside of the box, and then another telling Abbott to pass it side ways or back.. No wonder we lost all of those home games with farcical instructions like those. Originally Posted by nw6pie

A great interview. It's good that we've had a premier league clubs youth player come on loan who has flourished and been of the quality that we've not seen in a loan player since the likes of Yates, McGregor and Grealish. Hopefully George Abbott will be first of a few quality season long loan premier league U21 players to come in under the current owners. Originally Posted by SwalePie

I can?t remember a better loan player for a long time, for me he?s eclipsed Grealish, McGregor, Yates etc.
I really hope he goes on to have a fantastic career.
