Love that this lad has found his path again. His talent was suppressed and wasted for too long. That period will make him stronger though

Harry Lee’s three penalty saves to send us through to the #PL2 quarter-final play-offs 🤩

[AlexPopeCoaching @CoachingPope]

Add to that a debut for Ed James and a bit of SJP sunshine. Could the dark cloud be moving on?

Still need to address the ownership but the on pitch stuff felt good 🔴 ⚪

[AlexPopeCoaching @CoachingPope]

I've been on and off over the last few years and that was probably the most enjoyable game I've seen since MT left for Rotherham.

GC did a great job in keeping the team in the league against all odds, truly incredible, but today I was excited watching again...

@MatthewAndrew23 @JSportsSci @AdamKelly07 @matthewreeves @JamesDugdale @AlexMcAuley2 Playing across ages can be so valuable with that right planning and education around it. Sadly the biggest hurdle is the managing the perception of player and parent. Especially when 'playing down' or when 'returning' to their chronological age group.
