Ex Player Alex Rodriguez Gorrin

Quality today. He went off on one of his trademark runs in the second half but on balance, it was a really disciplined performance. No they didn’t cause us too many problems, but you can only play what’s put in front of you.
You don't have too many CBs quite as entertaining as Atkinson!
A fine player as well.
 
So Matty Taylor on the left wing, and Shodipo up front?

Controversial tactical selection!
 
The Athletic are reporting that we have suspended two youth players pending an investigation into an allegation they attended a New Year's Eve party.
One from the U21s and one from the U18s. Club originally wanted to sack them on Friday but have spent the weekend considering further.

 
According to the athletic 2 youth players have been suspended due to attending a New Year’s Eve party , originally the club were going to sack them due to breaches of club covid protocol, now been suspended prior to internal investigation
 
If true idiots. The club may be holding off so appropriate disciplinary procedures are being followed.
 
Bearing in mind KR’s comments on this, we have to take this as seriously as we are doing. No messing about.
 
I am sorry to say that if these players have done this then they probably ought to find a career elsewhere. Harsh, but they cannot claim ignorance - they know how hard the rest of the club have been working and to (presumably) think they can get away with it shows a complete lack of a) discipline and (more importantly) b) consideration towards the other players and their families.
 
Sack and make an example out of them. If they're any good we'll still get a proportion of any future transfer fee.

Does this stand with our stated aim as a club to promote good mental health and develop these young men into functioning adults? Yes they made a stupid mistake and should be punished - but to just sack them and leave them by the wayside seems harsh. Surely education is the way to go. I’m sure we’ve all made mistakes when young, haven’t we?
