[Norris Cole]

When it's time we should get him back here to a place he knows and where he knows he is loved cause I imagine being abroad doesn't help.

[Hartley]

[Barry Clunt]

I’m sure we’ve all either suffered or knows someone that has suffered from depression. Hope he gets himself the help to get himself through it.

 

[TH63]

Very sad to hear he’s struggling, but hope he gets the proper help he needs.

Get well soon Bellars.

Hopefully being able to play SMGC whenever he wants with familiar faces might help him relax, feel at home and get himself well again

Wow, very high praise for Bowen. Sounds like he’s exactly what this midfield needs

“I wanted us to play a certain way. Not a certain formation because they can change and you need to be flexible. What is our identity and what do we stand for? Are we a long ball team because if we are, we’ll do it through all the age groups. I believe that if you’re going to coach young footballers, they need to be able to play with the ball at their feet because the more they have of the ball, the more decisions they’re going to make. The more decisions they make, the better players they’ll become. If we want to be lazy, we can man-mark everywhere, but what does that prove? Anyone can do that. Turn and hit it long is also easy to do. It’s beyond lazy coaching, but managers have had good careers off the back of that.”

Not even thinly veiled

 

[Cymro84]

I love listening to / reading about Bellamy discussing football. I really do hope that he gets the opportunity to manage here at some point.

The first part of what he said there is the most important part of the interview for me, and something he’s been saying for several years. The simple idea that you make every player, regardless of position, comfortable with the ball at their feet from a young age so that when they become professional they are then able to comfortably adapt to whatever formation or style of play required. It’s similar to how the Dutch teams went during the 70s with their flexibility and the ability of any player to be able to play any position. That’s the basis of total football and everything that’s come from it right up to today’s different pressing styles.

Colin was the worst thing to happen to this club in many a year.
