@MemEnglandhokey Some of the basics in game vs. Germany were diabolical and the amount of turnovers coughed up…..Is this really the best we have?

[Jason Bourne @JasonBo25112348]

@MemEnglandhokey 😮

@Avabelly__ What an utter helmet you are. Get back in your box. 10am is totally fine. Find something meaningful to grumble about you tool.

[Jason Bourne @JasonBo25112348]

@MemEnglandhokey It’s also some of the players they keep picking. Not sure what some really offer. Is that really the best cohort we have at that level?

[Jason Bourne @JasonBo25112348]

@RussellLuke24 @MemEnglandhokey @Willowsacorns But had 16 PC’s against Malaysia and only scored once. There in lies a big chunk of the problem when you need a bucket load of goals to qualify. That’s a woeful return. Yes they scored about 50% of PC’s against Austria but not great quality oppo.

[Jason Bourne @JasonBo25112348]

@Willowsacorns @MemEnglandhokey And wonder why sides like our Age Group squads continually underperform when it matters most, a decent chunk of the better talent/potential stop playing or are overlooked (crap pathway, same coaches YoY, massively narrow and blinkered selection process….). Poor feeder process.

@simonbmason1 @ozymandias72 @MemEnglandhokey Definitely take ok as a positive. Certainly meant that way. Last women’s game was decent. Mens co comms is almost always spot on. Call it as they see it. No biases. England / France just now prime example. What doesn’t work with the women is explayers afraid to speak mind

@richard74512 @EnglandHockey You sound surprised. EH are an absolute clown club.

[Jason Bourne @JasonBo25112348]

@sewateruk And very baffling that there is no back up power supply to kick in when there is a power cut e.g. generators. That seems really poor foresight and planning.

[Jason Bourne @JasonBo25112348]

@AndyEdwards1978 EH are an absolute joke. Shouldn’t allow guest players period. Like you say if want to do that do it at indoor uk tournaments. They make draws up as they go along. Far too many byes. Some SE indoor only had 2 teams and they only played 30 mins to decide national finals.

[Jason Bourne @JasonBo25112348]

@angusjporter @AndyEdwards1978 I’d imagine a bit of both. Where we are (at least) and for a 20 min extra drive in any direction you open up diff clubs you can play. EH not interested & continue to keep league & cup too local esp in early rounds. Players don’t want that YoY so stop. EH Creativity lacking.

[Jason Bourne @JasonBo25112348]

@AndyEdwards1978 And time for a change with TA too. Can anyone say that is working and value for money especially for older ones playing with even younger school age groups it seems now. How is that helping develop stronger players. They just leave and take chance at open trials, if bothered.

[Jason Bourne @JasonBo25112348]

@Minimills76 @MillsBiba @EnglandHockey @Y1Hockey @eghockeyclub @ArdinglyCollege @westers_10 Clearly very talented and likely to go far, but the total lack of humility in some of your and her posts are staggering. No one likes a show off.

[Jason Bourne @JasonBo25112348]

@HCKnolePark @EnglandHockey Love this, well done and especially that they’ve done it through the open trials route (more players should go via that) and not via the hugely expensive and massively diluted quality and underwhelming experience path that is TA.

[Jason Bourne @JasonBo25112348]

@AndyEdwards1978 @TBBTalentAca @ICordwell @LiamKing6 Couldn’t agree more. Combining 4 school year groups as one just doesn’t work. Great for years 10 and 11 to play up and get good stretch. Not a great experience or stretch for the older boys at all. A decent number have simply left TA as a result. Not a smart change at all.

[Jason Bourne @JasonBo25112348]

@riflegreenleigh @SE_HockeyUK Agree you can bring on a sub player to take a penalty stroke. Rule 2.3a covers it. Can be an offensive or defensive player (assuming no active suspension).

@SevenoaksTA @SE_HockeyUK @TonbridgeUK @EnglandHockey @eghockeyclub @SevenoaksHC @SevenoaksTA @EnglandHockey Will there be some form of response and update to parents and players from your recent TA survey request? Appreciate you will certainly have a ton of feedback to sift through but an update on outcomes would be good. Massively disengaging if not.

[Jason Bourne @JasonBo25112348]

@SevenoaksTA @SE_HockeyUK @TonbridgeUK @EnglandHockey @eghockeyclub @SevenoaksHC Will EH (via the TA’s?) be sharing the rolled up collective feedback themes they recently requested from parents and players? Or, will this be another instance from EH where that simply goes into a huge black hole and we never hear those and what may change as a result?
