.... geez this ran over!!! Didnt even know that was possible...


continued..

soul destroying part of being U21 manager, watching players who were awesome go BoT.

A few examples just off the top of my lists...
(30976714) - 53 tsp MVP bot
(32029051) - 53 tsp HoF never trained
(26865171) - 76 tsp HoF at age 20 went bot after not being trained beyond 21

20 committed managers working closely with the U21 and NT would be enough to produce an incredible set of players which as I have said many times while I was coaching the U21, would benefit everyone in England because the merchandising alone would go up, and our player prices would go down... The only reason our draftees are so pricey and our players are so pricey is because there are so few being produced and made available from managers who do not wish to train. It is pure supply and demand.

Lastly... forgive me for the long post, I am going to go crawl into the corner and whimper a little now - this post almost killed me

You deserve a stiff drink and a lie down after that post..

You know.. I am going to do that, got some 18 year old single malt for just such an occaision lol!

The elastic effect is massive

I 1 on 1 trained one of my 21yo 6'11 big men until handling was 12 (sensational). I have trained passing for 7 (possibly 8 , im sure it was 7 though) weeks and had 5 pops in passing (from mediocre to Prominent) . OD is 10 HA DR 12

He looks looks awesome right now. I can see him making the NT for sure

FWIW , i have trained a u21 PG who made the world champions serbias team. I trained him in OD first and didnt really do all that much 1 vs 1 forwards. I really really regret that though.

I'm currently training a PG in my Utopia team and I wa wondering if someone is willing to give me some advice? I don't think he'll make the NT team due to his potential (however I do have a HOF trainee but he isn't as good). If anyone can hep can you bb-mail me so I can message you the skills?

Once again I'm forced to point out this is the NT thread. I'm fine with generalities about training as it relates to NT players, current and future. However, I don't want to see people meandering off the subject to push their own agendas. If you don't have enough respect for me personally, then at least respect the community and the position of NT coach.

Again, I'm heartily sick now of this complete bollocks. If you want to argue about the elastic effect, how to train, Kelly Brook's breasts, do it elsewhere.

We're not yet at the stage where we've reached a consensus of what we want to do, so we're not yet able to give specific advice about training. Except where I would always be available for the same sort of advice I've been giving up to now.

If the NT coach is ok I have no problem to give the skills of Marshall. He has reached 150 as total of his skills (without ST and FT of course) this season

He's your player, I have no problem with what you do. As NT coach however, I prefer not to advertise players' skills under any circumstances, and I'm bloody livid about someone else doing so, no matter what you've done in the past.
