Default Re: Leo Smith

I remember seeing leo play a couple of times in the first team. That would have been a little while ago. He was obviously very young. I thought at the time he showed a lot of potential going forward. He seemed to have good ball control and the ability to see and then execute good defence splitting passes. In my opinion the defensive side of his game needed a lot of improvement. That part of the game is however much easier to improve (with hard work) than the forward play. I remember thinking that if he worked hard he could do well. I hope he does.

Another treated badly by our current manager, wouldn't allow him to go out on loan despite being asked many times.

What have we allowed back?

It was the opposite, the club wanted him to go on loan but Leo thought he good enough to get games here so refused to go. Until the penny dropped last season and he ended up in the wpl.

Definitely wasn't with Keates here. Remember George Harry? Another in the same boat, left to get game time.

Keates don't care about the youth players, the lack of behind the doors friendlies is evidence enough. Something he said would be happening, fits the vision of the clubs board. Not brave enough to close it though.

Both players were not good enough so i don't blame him for not playing them. If you don't like Keates then fair enough but you can't have a go at him for not playing lads who aren't up to the standard.

No reserve team that is the problem , These lads needed a step up from Youth Football , But they had no where to go , there was no progression , and its the same today , Can we afford NOT to have a reserve side ?

Spot on.

Leo is a decent player. He used to read RP when the likes of Foxy and his cronies were slating him. Didn't do his confidence the best.
Hope he gets a move just to prove a few experts wrong.
