Even at Step 7 you can implement Positional Play. Create overloads, be patient, provide width and adapt to where the ball is. Blessed to work with such good young hungry footballers @MSReserves 😍 @Keepitonthedeck @TheBuildupPlay @GrimandiTweetss
Some gaffer @JPearce002 😍

On a station that’s become dominated by rage bait and people talking absolute nonsense, he was one of the very few who always spoke with real class, intelligence and knowledge. Whatever show he was on, he was always a pleasure to listen to. A man with an incredible amount of knowledge who will be sorely missed.
RIP 🌹
This morning I was told of the passing of my good friend and colleague, Danny Kelly. The tributes to him in the coming days from those who knew him and worked with him will give you an idea of how much he was loved.
I loved him too. Very much so. A man who I called "Dad" on air because I wished he was. I hope you give me a few minutes to read my thoughts, and I hope they do you justice, Dan.
By 2008 I was a mess. I would sleep 18 hours a day, the other 6 mostly wanting to die. Once or twice a week I would open my laptop, organise football tabs, gossip and news as prep for jobs in broadcasting that I knew would never come, "just in case". When hope dies, we die, after all.
Then Danny Kelly came into my life.
I was driving out of London having been to see a psychiatrist about the state I was in and had BBC London on the radio. Danny was presenting with a guest, reviewing books. My name came up in the conversation, so I called in.
We hit it off straight away, talked about football for what seemed like forever but was probably a standard 10-12 minute section. But for me it sparked a temporary respite from sleep and chronic mental health issues and even for that I was grateful.
A couple of years later Danny joined talkSPORT to do the 7-10pm slot through the week. He told me he was offered a few co-presenters but he remembered that conversation we had and he wanted me to do it.
A lifeline of work, passionately talking about our sport, having fun and feeling a value as a human again. Something lost for 7 long years.
Danny gifted me that. Without that I know I wouldn't be writing this today.
"Always fresh, never frozen" was the tagline in a Domino's read we had to do in the show, something we'd instinctively greet each other with until our last meeting, in a pub, broadcasting for talkSPORT around 3 years ago. I didn't know that time would be the last, but perhaps fittingly we hugged as I left, I'm glad I did.
The shows were loved. They were funny, honest, insightful and I hope, along with Saggers after that, proof that Danny's belief in me was worthy. But to say my love for him was only thanks for a job doesn't even scratch the surface.
His kindness, his phone calls late at night ( Dan was a notorious night owl) of support, his man hugs, his indomitable spirit, his big brain on anything from football to music to geopolitics, his love, as I know many others will testify, came from the biggest of hearts and the biggest of souls housed in a giant of a man in every sense.
Dan, thank you, thank you for the kindness, the fun, the hope, the support and for being someone to look up to and aspire to be.
I love you very much, I know I'll hug you again some day. Thank you for everything.
"I love football Stan, I love it ".

We now have the date confirmed as Premier League side Nottingham Forest will bring their U21’s to Debdale Park for our @NottsFA Senior Cup game. Get 17th November marked on your calendars 🌳💙🖤

9 months since this tweet. 0 goals & 2 assists for Amad Diallo. Currently sitting 16th in the table.
Meanwhile Arsenal are Premier League champions.
Part time footballer, part time Twitter troll.
Ain’t no manager saving this team. It’s basically a Sunday league side with piss poor mentality.

MOTM for Saturday’s game, as voted for by the Supporters Club, was debutant Andy Wright. We also made presentations to our other recent winners, David Olatomide (v Leicester Nirvana), Carter Widdowson (v Daventry Town and Harrison Leech (v Eastwood) 🌳💙🖤
Great result yesterday. Been an intense but really enjoyable 4 weeks back at the club. Some great performances and results at home, alongside a few disappointing ones away. Recruitment has been good, and the group is getting closer to where we want it to be. Some good lads have moved on, and I wish them all the best. Now it’s about continuing to graft on that training ground 🌳🔵⚫️

You see this episode yeah… those final 5 minutes of the actual game. The commentary from @DonStrapzy_, the editing, the music, the catchphrases… everything.
Watching these guys from the very beginning of their Sunday League journey to this. I knew the score Saturday evening, I knew what was coming, but yeah… that hit different.
What a club, man 🧡

So happy for Azae! An unbelievable character for someone so young as well. Hope he continues to smash it and keeps going from strength to strength 🙏
At just 15 years and 190 days old, Azae Bonnick made his U21s debut for Nottingham Forest tonight.🤯💫
Azae came on towards the end of an EFL Trophy fixture against Burton Albion which ended 1-1 (Forest U21s also won the penalty shootout).✅
This made Azae the 17th youngest ever player to feature in the EFL Trophy, with Archie Gray and Harvey Elliott above him in 16th and 15th respectively.👀
He also becomes the second youngest player to feature in a competitive match for Nottingham Forest U21s.🌳
Just last month, Azae scored twice on his first U18 Premier League start… now he’s playing for the U21s.😯
What an experience for him.🤩👏

Buzzing, excited, happy and probably every emotion you can think of! 😂
A massive thank you to the club for giving me this opportunity. I’m incredibly grateful and can’t wait to get started.
I’ll give absolutely everything I’ve got to make sure we’re as successful as possible, both on and off the pitch. Time to get to work!
VAMOS 💙🖤
Just want to take a moment to say a massive thank you to everyone at Barwell Football Club.
From top to bottom, it’s an incredible football club, full of genuinely great people who have been nothing but supportive, welcoming and kind from day one.
A special thank you to Damo and DT for bringing me into the club over the summer. Although my time at Barwell was only a short one, I genuinely enjoyed every minute of it. It was a pleasure working alongside both of you and, of course, the lads. Without doubt, one of the most enjoyable and class changing rooms I’ve been a part of.
I’d also like to thank everyone on the committee and all the volunteers who give up their time to help the club. They’re a group of good, honest people who genuinely care about Barwell and want to see the club do well.
Sometimes football takes you in different directions, but I’ll always be grateful for the short time I spent at Barwell and for the people I met along the way.
Wishing everyone at the club nothing but the best for the future. I’ll definitely look forward to coming back and watching the lads as a fan in the future.
💚💛
