    If we can find someone to help him keep his head in the right place the radar could have it's biggest success yet.

    In a different way, the off-field stuff could be dragging on Traore's progress. With his background, English could well be his 4th or 5th language. Hopefully it's just a matter of time but obviously this season we've run out of that.
    If a young player like Jarvis cannot learn and take succur from the older players like Didsy Matty Palmer,Slocombe they really cannot have the right mindset to be a pro footballer.

    Anyone else tired of reading unsubstantiated digs at a young player based on the subjective takes of who exactly?

    It creates a negative narrative that spreads and I believe players do get wind of it. We signed a very promising young player on a 3 year contract and we'd be better off without this crap.

    It is the easiest and one of the worst cliches to roll out about ?young players?.

    The sacrifices and learnings Jarvis has undertaken just to be a professional footballer will already be astounding to many.

    The Dug Out - Do you have any knowledge of the sacrifice and commitment that Jarvis, or other young Notts players have made?

    An inane post of the highest order.
