    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.

    Must have watched a different clip

    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.

    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.

    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.

    I agree. Whilst I think Grealish was the best player I've ever seem in a Notts shirt ( been watching for over 50 years)despite his age. Abbotts performances over the whole season have been magnificent and eclipse Grealish because of his consistency. I posted not so long ago that the most difficult job the recruitment team have next season is replacing him. He's been truly brilliant and I hope he goes on to have a fabulous career

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

    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.
