No, not the referendum – although don’t get me started on that can of worms, I mean the constant disappointment of the national team at… well, the national game. |

I look forward to the start of each new season with such vim and vigour - with the possible exception of this one, oddly. |

As strong winds and torrential rain batter the UK, we enjoy again another wet and dreary winter. Long gone are the visions of a white and frosty Christmas so often played out in annual offerings from Hollywood. |
| Blog | Round Pegs, Square Holes and the Youth Development Dilemma!
at 12:20 11 Mar 2015
It has been discussed at length the pitfalls of round pegs and square holes – a ‘problem’ that appears to have been borne of the Roy Keane era only to manifest itself in Paul Jewell and lately Mick McCarthy. |

I have spend the past 18 months in amongst our Northern neighbours, ensconced as it were amongst the tartan brethren who – for the time being at least call themselves fellow Brits. |

I seem to have a predilection for numbers at the moment! My critique of the Cardiff game centred around the obvious training and coaching deficiencies which have become self-evident out on the pitch, so I thought that I would follow up with another piece written purely on modern coaching developments that I am personally aware of – not necessarily aimed at Ipswich Town but equally as pertinent. |
