Super proud of this boy, chucked football altogether few years ago, during covid, battled back to play for the strongest u20s in Scotland last season, far higher level than given credit for. Signed by Gala and looking for him to go out on loan to get regular game time. #prouddad

Young keepers need to play...step back to move forward Game time is more important than who or where you play. Read about "ghost" goalies, mid 20s and haven't even got double figures in games...their development stopped the minute their egos took over....I'm on the bench for...

Game of two halves, wind playing havoc for both teams. Still it's good to see him back playing...pulling off a brilliant 1 v 1 save in second half to keep them in it , before running out of steam. Be good to see them with the injured and suspended players back , hopefully next wk

Very true...GK play on confidence and only a run of games builds confidence. For any manager to leave a young GK out after a mistake causes a lot more damage to that young GK. It's poor, very poor, management and my advice to any young player,GK or outfielder, get away asap

ALL GKs make mistakes. But the younger ones are usually taken out the team a lot sooner to be ‘protected’. Sometimes it does more harm than good. Watch how they react from that moment & through the week up until the next game. They might be more determined than ever. 🧵

Nothing more disheartening for coaches than half a squad not showing up for training...can't prepare sessions or work on anything. Too many players not getting a chance elsewhere, and then you have this scenario. No train no play imho, supposed to be semi pro. Unbelievable
