You could say that, but living out here in GC i see how much skill even the local guys on the street have.Segunda B has mixed standards across four geographical confrences, but it's generally non-league level.
Segunda B is part-time for some teams. They play all their fixtures on Sunday at 12 so they can get back the same day and go to work on the Monday if they need to.
Stevenson might as well have gone on loan to Leamington Brakes really, or at a push Dagenham and Redbridge.
Another one? Didn't they have one last year with the manager? What's happened?
He changed the game for them when he came on against us
Courtney Baker-Richardson made his first team debut for Swansea today and on TV.
Sent off for a shocking tackle after 4 mins.
James Maddison's display against Liverpool was so assured it looked like the Leicester midfielder had been playing in the Premier League for years, according to Jamie Redknapp.
Despite the 2-1 loss at the King Power on Saturday, the 21-year-old midfielder - who only joined the club from Norwich for an initial £22m in June - still produced a standout performance in the 'hole' against the league leaders.
"He ran the game today in a midfield full of international players and I was surprised he [Claude Puel] took him off with 10 minutes to go as I would have kept him on," said the Sky Sportspundit.
"I thought he was fantastic, 21 years old, fourth game in the Premier League and he looks like he has been here for years.
"I was so impressed and was looking forward to watching him today. He is so comfortable on the ball, plays little one-twos, always looking to pass forward.
"And also the first to press, wins a lot of balls back high up the pitch and I just thought his imagination and passing in the midfield area, which was so congested, was just brilliant, it really was.
"He was so clever and unlucky not to get his goal, but it was a fantastic tackle by Joe Gomez, the little reverse ball."
Maddison was included in the England U21 squad in midweek, but Redknapp thinks he is just the type of player the seniors are currently lacking.
"One of the problems we [England] had in the World Cup was we had enough players who could control the ball and pass it," said the former England international and Liverpool midfielder.
"And at times we struggled in that area where you think about Luka Modric, who can receive the ball off the line and take it in a No 10 role, which is so hard to do.
"He was so clever and unlucky not to get his goal, but it was a fantastic tackle by Joe Gomez, the little reverse ball."
Jeez! Time to move on! :emoji_sleeping:

Just watched the highlights of Dundee v Motherwell (sad, I know!) and Bigi seemed to be taking all their free kicks - and they all seemed half decent/intelligent. I remember getting really ticked off when he took them for us, as they were usually the polar opposite!Another ex player...
And Bigi scores Satdee for the Mothers.

Always remember that pen he chipped straight into the keepers arms against Southampton on Sky. We won 4-1 though in the end (how times change)

Ryan Kent playing in the old firm. Rangers barely been out of their half, Tierney giving him the run around down that side
Can’t believe Fleck hasn’t had a Scotland call up yet. Been a key player for Sheffield United in the Chanpionship over the last 2 seasons, still a good age and hardly as if Scotland are blessed with top quality in the middle of the park
Elliott Ward signs for Notts County.
Interesting article about Marvin Sordell - Marvin Sordell: 'I felt dead inside. Writing is a way to get emotions out’
Agree - the black cloak fits everyone from all walks of life. Personal experience of losing a child and we had no idea of the turmoil in their life. Never without a smile on the outside but unable to face life when the door was closed. Seems it's now considered an "option".Hopefully articles like this can wake up clubs and governing bodies to support players and staff more as football is a very tough industry no matter how much money they earn or how good you think they have it from the outside
'Liking' isn't quite what I mean, but my sympathies to you.Agree - the black cloak fits everyone from all walks of life.

The only time I saw him nearly scoring, he fell on the ball and stopped it from crossing the goal lineSurprised no one has been shouting from the roof tops about Conor Thomas scoring a penalty. #thenewstevieg
Surprised no one has been shouting from the roof tops about Conor Thomas scoring a penalty. #thenewstevieg
