'scuse me,
Why can't our Academy 'lads' (god bless them) see they can make a living out of RL by playing in the Academy at 'haven, as opposed to those doing so in SL teams?
If SL Academy players can why can't our lot.
Lets not be soft on our Academy players or expose our own daftness on this subject.
If any Academy player applies himself and reaches the right standard they will make a living by finally making it to SL............look at those Cumbrians who have made it in SL teams in the past......
OR
........are you suggesting that none of our lot have enough belief in themselves to apply themselves and try for it , by pushing to improve their individual standard and get spotted by a SL team while doing their very best at 'haven ?
I think you are ....... and YES unfortunately I think that is the problem with some of our Academy players ... they get some cash for playing (to add to their existing earnings), .......and they don't seem to have enough (or in some cases any) ambition to see the bigger picture of the possibility of regular exposure in first the team and possibly SL. (Easy money and Sat night recognition is all they aspire to)
If they don't try to fly with the eagles they scrat around with the chickens .... so what do we have in our Academy ? Those who want to be eagles or chickens ?
As I said earlier, hope Cresta can bring the eagles out in the few who have the potential ... but don't presently realise they have it.
