I was around in the 70s & 80s and the odd bit of rough and tumble was part of life, but once a pecking order was established things regained order. Often a smack in the mouth did idiots a lot of good. I know its not PC but I yearn for the old days. The real tough lads weren't generally racist, they didn't need to find a victim to bully. Anonymity on social media is destroying society. The real tough lads were the ones who didn't advertise they were tough, didn't need to feel the need to mouth off because they didn't (usually) have owt to prove to anyone. Remember watching that National Service programme a few years back where they put "tough" guys through national service. One of them was so tough he'd been in a fight, lost, so went to his car to get a weapon. REAL tough. The squaddie PTIs soon showed him what tough is You mean Bad Lads Army?? That show was brilliant. Really knocked some young uns down a peg or 5 |

There's people that have condemned the racist abuse aimed at Headley yet were booing Leicester taking the knee, which is a gesture against racism. I just find it all very hypocritical and was embarrassed to hear the boos in the Riverside on Saturday. |

I wasn't at the game on Saturday (tbh due to other commitments I've relied heavily on iFollow, Sky and dodgy streams - or at the very least YouTube highlights - over the last few years). |

I have 2 mates who are "proper chaps" never bullied anyone, never looked for it. If you wanted it you would be accommodated. one of them regarded me as magic ticket, his Mrs liked when he went out with me because he came home in a taxi (usually within 24 hours) and not a police van. My old man's a comparative midget (5'2") compared to most squaddies. A while after he demobbed he was picked on in a pub by these two youngish lads, quite large, obviously thought they were rock hard. He told them to leave off so they followed him into the car park. Neither of them followed him back in Had he put his camouflage on? 😳😂 |

Big future ahead for Jaheim, let's hope we all get behind him, all the best kid, the best thing you can do is keep performing & metaphorically stick 2 fingers up at the racist bastards.Used to work in a shop in Kingston on Thames, some scally got caught trying to shoplift by a colleague who happened to be black Brazilian. Said scally unleashed a tirade of racial abuse in response. Asked if he was okay afterwards, he shrugged and said "if that's the best he's got for me, I couldn't give a f***" |

played well again, dangerous going forward and pins back the opponents right side.

Really promising is Jaheim, I think we are a better team when hes in it and look more likely to score. Hes got pace, no fear and a good shot on him too.
I hope hes at Town for years to come.

Two things I really enjoy.
* Seeing a kid break through the youth system.
* Seeing a player I'd previously written off prove me wrong.
Jaheim fulfils both of those.

So with Headley involved in the friendlies in the stronger 11 teams.
Do we think it was all b0ll0cks end of last season been speculated as one of the bad eggs?
I always thought Headley looks very good going forward and suggest he’s more of a winger (back up wingback) as defensively he struggles.

Nothing he said was in any way relevant or helpful to HTAFC. It was very clearly obvious that he was managing his own reputation after a truely woeful effort from him. The man couldn’t motivate mr.motivator. Anyway it’s all ancient history to be banished for ever with Wadsworth, Sievert, and Mike Bassett.
It was always going to be a clean slate with a new manager in. Duff knows how to assess players.
The players were wank last year there’s no question about that but there’s more than one or two with ability to make a serious impact in league one.
We need a good start but with our new midfield and fingers crossed we keep our best assets - Helik & Sorba then I see us achieving promotion.

I always thought Headley looks very good going forward and suggest he’s more of a winger (back up wingback) as defensively he struggles. Remember when he broke through under Warnock? He was just like a young Micah Richards - bursting onto the scene! That’s likely what Duff has seen and he thinks yes please Jaheim. |

Do you see Sorba playing in a 352 (if so where) or do we have to change formation to fit him in? Not that I'm saying we shouldn't be flexible. |

I think he could play behind Healey but more likely in one of the midfield births but with scope to go wide..Evans and Kane inside of him. Wingbacks look like they’ll be Sorensen and miller or Headley.. There may well yet be bids for Sorba though - of for example Hull keep losing players to prem teams a championship side may come in for him. |

As much as it's not a great feeling singling one player out, Headley has been diabolically bad this term. Did we sell the correct reserve LB this Summer?? The lad can't cross, tackle, no positional awareness. Rumours of him being a bad egg last season (albeit not fully substantiated).
Time to shift this kid on come January as it stands and get Miller some real competition in, if there isn't a young LB in the reserves/B team.

Aside from pace, I struggle to know what his best attributes are. The lad needs to worry because at this rate, he’s destined to always be a bit part player from the bench. Simply not good enough. Almost like he lacks focus. Which is a shame because as previously mentioned, we all love to see a youth player come good.

Makes the decision to put him in the leadership team even more baffling. It’s the same old problems as far as Town are concerned. Too easy to play against. The system is dependent on good wing backs. When they don’t put a decent shift in then we look as frail as we did last season. |

I can't quite believe that the guy who played against Morecambe is the same guy who played against Walsall and Northampton. The differences in performances are just crazy. I can. He struggles hugely with confidence. Got the early goal against Morecambe, then went at their full-back a couple of times. Confidence flowing. At Bolton, he’s in a side that’s dominating the game. Elsewhere, however, he’s found himself making mistakes and it hits him harder than other players for whatever reason. Technically, he’s good enough for the division above. He’s a lovely striker of a football and going forward creates issues. Physically he has a lot going for him too. He’s quick and strong. But mentally he’s so inconsistent. And that’s his downfall. He can’t brush a mistakes off, he lingers on his errors. He withdraws into himself. |

Football is a high octane industry where the trappings are huge for the successful.....but the criticism huge for those that fail. Yesterday he was beyond shocking - and supporters have had enough. They want to see players using their attributes to help the team - not hiding timidly and making the same basic errors. At times he can look decent - tall, quick, flashes of skill etc but almost every time he gets a chance to claim the shirt longer term like yday he flunks badly. Has to improve massively if hes going to have a career in the game at this level....as it stands hes a bit part who will sink into lower leagues with no consistency to fall back on sadly. |
