egg Posted 26 February, 2015 Share Posted 26 February, 2015 .as coach for the U18's ? ...and what about Anthony Limbrick, then ? Limbrick is well regarded as a coach but the concern is that he's not a football man and is not best placed to help the youngsters make the transition to young pros. Dodd's influence on the youngsters has been missed and Fleming will fill a void. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lallana's Left Peg Posted 27 February, 2015 Share Posted 27 February, 2015 Limbrick is well regarded as a coach but the concern is that he's not a football man and is not best placed to help the youngsters make the transition to young pros. Dodd's influence on the youngsters has been missed and Fleming will fill a void. Which begs the question...why did we sack Jason Dodd? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
egg Posted 27 February, 2015 Share Posted 27 February, 2015 Which begs the question...why did we sack Jason Dodd? I've never asked but sadly loose lips never seem to extend to the true reasons behind sackings. My guess, and it's only a guess based on snippets, is that it was due to coaching ability. The club have been concerned about a lack of talent in the 16-18 group (a throwback to a lack of investment in the administration era) and I suspect that the club felt that a better coach was needed to get the best out of that group. Limbrick is well rated in that respect It'll be interesting to see where Fleming fits in with Limbrick and Hunter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VectisSaint Posted 27 February, 2015 Share Posted 27 February, 2015 B is enough for U18s I think. Maybe "enough", not the point though is it. Thought we would be aiming for excellence rather than "adequate". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Window Cleaner Posted 27 February, 2015 Share Posted 27 February, 2015 B is enough for U18s I think. Who knows, I really don't pay much attention to the unders categories at SFC. Most of them either don't make the grade or are propelled into the first team group at a tender age if they're good enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

K,Billy's supersound Posted 21 December, 2018 Share Posted 21 December, 2018 Club promoting from within on the cheap. imo he didnt do that much for u18's has been supporting radhi in u21 yet has now been moved up to work with seniors alongside "Token". Ralph has been forced to accept these two as assistants instead of being allowed to bring in his own personal. Exactly what has Davis done since being giving a made up job to keep him around that merits his rise to first team? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Davis chose Fleming ahead of Radhi for the first team and nobody knew why apparently. He has a rep as a bit of a bully, long ball into the channels as well, so maybe as long as stays away from tactics, the stronger than necessary approach will work at first team level.

I would be more concerned if the club hadn't allowed him to bring in Danny Rohl as assistant manager.

tajjuk Posted 22 December, 2018 Share Posted 22 December, 2018 We probably have spent a lot of coaching staff/manager severance pay recently so its a little understandable. Maybe its only temporary till the end of the season, if Ralph keeps us up then come the summer other coaches might be out of contract etc. and easier to approach. Plus its very clear he is a hands on training ground manager, plus has the guy he brought in so really anyone else is just running drills he is setting up and instructing.
