If the objective is to find a player that could play in the A League would you not pick say the Japanese guy and maybe Evans and keane (however you spell his name) from Edgy plus the best "younger" guys form anywhere else.
You're absolutely right... not like there is any logistical issues in getting players from Port Mac, Coffs, Inverell at all
Surprise no one mentioned already
Piggot left Maitland last night.
So you are admitting that there are players good enough....distance is your issue.You're absolutely right... not like there is any logistical issues in getting players from Port Mac, Coffs, Inverell at all
Who cares who's in the side! The real question is how far out will Moriyasu score from?
Plenty of quality coaches out there, just non with B Licence accreditation, surely NNSW Football can be lenient on Maitland for a couple of weeks. Maybe they should promote their Technical Director to the role. PS Forever this blokes gone down hill since he left you
who are these quality coaches you speak of? (generally curious, not being smart)
with the requirement of a B licence and the limited group of people who have them, are we destined for the same 15 or so coaches club hopping.
Is there any young up and comers in lower grades / leagues that have potential and clubs should be on the look out for in the future?
just goes to show the grass isn't always greener on the other side, he had a good thing going at the gunners but he chose to move on, still a top bloke though.
Piggot left Maitland or was asked to leave? Rumours of an unhappy camp might be ringing true?
Doesn't take too much to work this one out. 2 weeks ago Piggott dropped club stalwarts and favourites Ryan Broadley and Blake Thompson ( brother of major sponsor Reece Thompson ). The conversation probably went something like " steve , we want you to select Ryan and Blake in your starting Xl this week.
Reply from steve , **** off , I'll pick my own side or I am gone.
Reply from Maitland ( Reece ) , 🙋 goodbye
Rather ironic.
Goes to Weston drags them up the table to the top part
Gets the arse
Goes to Maitland drags them up the table
Gets the arse
Obviously two clubs who are less interested in results but more interested in stroking the egos from within the club
Wasn't Piggo quoted in the herald two weeks ago, " I won't be at Maitland next year", maybe they just decided to finish early
Maybe at the cookers next year
I'm not disagreeing that that's the way it happened but rumour out of the Maitland camp is that he wasn't the only official to get the axe/walk away from Maitland last night. I think this could possibly go deeper than Thompson and Broadley getting dropped.
Think you will find more issues to do with youth then seniors
Seems like another case of mediocrity being an easier option than the work required to be successful. Got to feel sorry for the Thornton boys obviously they went there knowing what Piggo could achieve but it seems he struck the same problems at Maitland that he had at Weston, too much old furniture. It's got to be a hard gig going to a newly promoted club and having to move on some of the old guard that got them there. It takes a incredibly strong committee to embrace the changes required.
I'll take the bait, who else walked away or was pushed?
Am I the only one who thinks dropping Thompson was probably over due anyway??
You are not. I have seen Maitland twice this year and Thompson was poor both times. Just my opinion, but looked very slow.
Also gives the ball away a lot trying to play out the back.
Looks as tho the TD has been given the job at least for the rest of the year.
