Quote Jose="Jose"Which others have slipped through the net?'"
I think he means in general not specifically Trinity or not in recent years.
All clubs let players slip through, Reece Lyne a perfect example, it happens.
However it doesn’t happen very often. I’m a huge fan of bringing young players through and have been genuinely upset in the past when we’ve let some go. Yet in all that time the grand total of those who proved the coaching staff wrong is from memory, zero. I can’t think of one player we let go who’s made there way back.
There are a few who made it after leaving us but all under unusual circumstances. Brough got himself sacked whilst players like Eden basically played the feel.
Sad though it is the coaching staff, whoever they are, rarely get it wrong with youngsters. My only gripe is some of the crud we have taken in from Oz who were no better but seemed to get treated with kid gloves, that has to stop and I think at Trinity it has.
