I wouldn't have thought it to be a complete waste of time for him.. Training with a higher standard of player, the experience of actually being part of an international squad, he also might have gone there knowing he wasn't going to play a major part (if at all), and the manager wanted him there to gain valuable experience in prep for the next one.. Bit like England do with players like bellingham now and wallcott in the past etc.. Some of the players he would have mixed with day in day out are at some top top clubs.. |

Reply | RefChat 'Poll' on the Barbet incident
at 14:36 17 Jan 2022
Interesting to see that within 5 mins of play restarting, a long ball was fed into Dike and Barbet fairly challenged him to win the ball, showing great professionalism in my opinion. I would have used that opportunity to launch him 3ft into the air. More power to barbet, what a pro and a quality game to boot.. that last ditch challenge was perfection.
For me its a booking, made worse for the fact the hoardings are so close.. do that at Reading away and you end up with grazes only.. He was overly pumped up.. his manager motioned to him to calm down straight after the incident.. |

Reply | Heading the ball to be restricted, starting this season

Just to add my opinion to this topic, I'm a level 2 fa coach and my understanding of this is to try to limit the big impact headers, and as previously mentioned, the repetition of drills encouraging this.
Big impact headers meaning young players being encouraged to return goal kicks and long range freekicks by heading the ball directly back in the direction they have come from..
Just to counter this, I would argue that it is incredibly important to teach young players how to head the ball properly, ensuring good connection and confidence in the direction the ball will travel once headed. However this can be done with a short throw of the ball rather than lamping it 30 yards at them!
Add to this, young players should be taught to bring the ball down and play rather than just head it back up the field, there are instances when you do have to clear your lines though, and teaching players when to make this decision when they will have less confidence in heading... its a tough one..
Cage fighting is a completely different kettle of fish, as is any combat sport, head guards are worn in training and fighting all the way up to amateur level.. Plus in sparring no one should be looking to take each others head off.. |

Which is one of the main reasons Peterborough do so well producing and developing non league talent, play attacking football and make your strikers look good. Sell on values sore once you put a few goals in the back of the net.. |
