MC_NCFC 67 Posted February 27 What a start to professional football for the lad. Won every game. Playing 90 minutes and scoring in basically every game bar 1. This guy is the future. 6 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GodlyOtsemobor 2,326 Posted February 27 This is what a loan lower down can bring to a young players career. Pushes them on, something Adam Idah really missed out on! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Coneys Knee 962 Posted February 28 I always think scoring headed goals is bit of a knack thing, you either have it or you don’t, unfortunately the football world isn’t so keen on heading these days so it’s likely to die out. Football is more interested in how many passes it can put together in build up to a perfect goal. its a good weapon to have. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I think his most recent goal was a good half volley mind. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RobJames 881 Posted February 28 Makes you wonder who may step up this summer. Elsewhere the pinkun is suggesting that Hills will be a first team choice. Warner ? Tompkinson ? Kamara ? There's also a couple coming through the youths Looks like an exit for Gino, Batth and Gibson - - unfortunately McCallum is yet to sign. It suggests these season was one of holding. The PL wages would have been budgeted for, but not much else. And there will be £30m less next season, so talent will have to be found beyond the chequebook. Not sure Springett will make it, and Barden is out of contract this summer. I think (?) we have another years extension on Lungi. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sgncfc 1,228 Posted February 29 I'm sure I read a stat recently about the reduction in headed goals from over 26% to less than 15% over recent seasons - I wonder if it's just not coached as much now, given the potential issues. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It could be a factor, but I'd say it's probably more down to the fact that most teams play passing football on the ground as much as possible nowadays and there are fewer teams playing a direct style with high balls into the box.
